0.2% gelatin (Solarbio, Beijing, China) was incubated at 37 °C for 1 h in the well containing a coverslip and cross-linked with 1% glutaraldehyde (Aladdin, Shanghai, China). The excess glutaraldehyde was permeabilized with 1 M glycine (Biofroxx, Guangzhou, China) for 20 min. Then, HFF cells (5 × 104) were seeded into gelatin-coated well and cultured in complete medium supplemented with 50 µg/mL ascorbic acid (Solarbio, Beijing, China) for 7–10 days. Subsequently, HFF cells were removed using extraction buffer (1 mL NH4OH, 250 µL 0.5 % Triton-X-100, 48.75 mL PBS). The remaining cell were removed with 20 μg/mL DNAse I (Solarbio, Beijing, China) [36] (link), [37] (link). Breast cancer cells treated with BD or transfected with plasmids or siRNAs were seeded onto the extracted ECM, and incubated for 72 h at 37 °C, followed by immunofluorescence staining of Fibronectin 1 (FN1), COL1A2 and DAPI, and photographing with a laser confocal fluorescence microscope.

Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc. were purchased at commercial maturity in Dazhou, Sichuan province in June. The pulps were cut from the fruits at 4 °C and frozen at −78 °C until used. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVPP, USP), catechol, polyethylene glycol (PEG 15000), and cellulose membranes (76 × 49 mm) were purchased from Yuanye (Shanghai, China). l-Cysteine (Biological reagent, BR) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (USA). Tris–HCl was purchased from Amresco (USA). 4-Hexylresorcinol (BR) was purchased from Aladdin (USA). SDS-PAGE Gel Kit and Tris were purchased from Solarbio (Beijing, China). Glycine (BR) was purchased from Biofroxx (Germany). Markers were purchased from Tiangen (China). Bovine albumin serum (BSA, BR) was purchased from Regal (Shanghai, China). All other reagents were purchased from KESHI (Chengdu, China), including the brilliant blue G250 (BR). All reagents and chemicals used in this study were of analytical grade, except where indicated otherwise.

Quantifying Cell Proliferation Using EdU Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell proliferation assays were performed using the Cell-LightTM EdU Apollo In Vitro Kit (RiboBio, Guangzhou, China). Cancer cells (1 × 105) were seeded in 96-well plates and treated according to the experimental requirements. Subsequently, EdU medium was added and the cells were incubated for 2 h. After washing the cells twice with PBS, they were fixed with 4% PFA solution (Biosharp) for 30 min. Cells were then incubated with glycine (2 mg/ml; Biofroxx, Germany) for 5 min and permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 (Beyotime) for 10 min. After adding 1 × Apollo® staining solution (RiboBio) and incubating for 30 min at light avoidance and RT, the cells were washed three times with 0.5% TritonX-100. Finally, a 1 × Hoechst 33342 reaction solution (RiboBio) was added and incubated for 30 min with light avoidance at RT. The cells were imaged using a microscope (Leica Microsystems) and counted in four randomly selected fields.

The ChIP assay was performed as described previously (28 (link), 29 (link)). Briefly, 1 × 107/mL cells were fixed in 1% formaldehyde (Biosharp, Hefei, China) for 20 min at room temperature, and 125 mM glycine (BioFroxx, China) was added to quench formaldehyde. After a 30-min incubation in ChIP lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.0], 5 mM EDTA, 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.1% SDS, protease inhibitor) on ice, the lysates were sheared by sonication using a Bioruptor Plus (Diagenode, Liège, Belgium). Cross-linked chromatin samples were incubated with the indicated antibodies or normal rabbit IgG in a rotator at 4°C overnight. Subsequently, protein A/G-conjugated agarose beads (Smart-Lifesciences, Changzhou, China) were added, and the samples were incubated overnight at 4°C in a rotator, collected, and washed three times. To elute DNA fragments, immunocomplexes were incubated with elution buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.0], 10 mM EDTA, 1.0% SDS) for 2 h at 65°C. One half of the eluted immunocomplexes was saved as the immunoprecipitation sample, while the other half was treated with proteinase K (Tiangen Biotech) overnight at 55°C. Finally, the DNA was purified with a TIANamp Genomic DNA kit (Tiangen Biotech). The purified DNA was detected by qPCR. The antibodies used for ChIP and the primers used for qPCR are listed in Tables 3 and 4.

Before the experiment, the equipment is wiped and operating table surface with 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution (Abd-Elmaksoud et al., 2014 (link)), and then wipe with water after 15 min. Use a peristaltic pump (YZ1515X; Runze, Shenzhen City, China) to extract the seeded virus water from the container and filter it through a glass wool filter element at different speeds, and let the peristaltic pump continue to work for 3 min after all the water has been filtered. Soak the glass wool filter element with 75 ml of 3% beef extract buffer (B8570; Solarbio, Beijing, China) solution containing 0.5 M glycine (1275KG2P5; BioFroxx, Hangzhou, China) and pH 9.0 for 20 min, then wash with 75 ml of beef extract buffer solution again. Collect the total 150 ml buffer solution in a clean container, adjust the eluent pH to neutral with 1M hydrochloric acid, and store at 4 °C; if over 48 h, it must be stored at −20 °C or lower temperature.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
