Immunohistochemical Analysis of OSCC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens of OSCC and normal oral mucosal tissues were sectioned to a 5-μm thickness. The sections were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated through graded alcohol solutions. Heat-induced antigen retrieval was performed in a microwave oven for 10 min in Tris/EDTA buffer (pH 9.0). Endogenous peroxidase activity was inactivated by treating with 3% H2O2 in PBS for 15 min. After blocking nonspecific binding (0.75% BSA in PBS), the sections were incubated with the anti-TFPI2 (Abcam, dilution 1:100), anti-SOX17 (Abcam, dilution 1:100), and anti-GATA4 antibodies (Abcam, dilution 1:100) overnight at 4 °C. The staining was visualized by a peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody and diaminobenzidine (Vector labs, Burlingame, CA, USA). Finally, the sections were counterstained by Mayer’s hematoxylin and were mounted and photographed with an Axioplan microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany). Primary antibodies were omitted for the negative controls.

Western blot analysis was performed as described previously (18 (link)). Total protein was prepared using extraction buffer comprising NaCl/Pi supplemented with 0.5% Triton X-100, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM phenylmethyl sulfonyl fluoride and complete protease inhibitors (Roche Diagnostics). The concentration of each protein lysate was determined using a bicinchoninic acid protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Equal amounts of total protein (50 µg/lane) were separated by 12% SDS/PAGE. Subsequently, samples were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes and blocked for 60 min at room temperature in NaCl/Pi containing 5% skim milk powder (w/v). The membranes were immunoblotted using the following primary antibodies: Anti-fibronectin (cat. no. ab2413; 1:500; Abcam), anti-N-cadherin (cat. no. ab18203; 1:500; Abcam), anti-vimentin (cat. no. ab92547; 1:500; Abcam), anti-E-cadherin (cat. no. ab40772; 1:500; Abcam), anti-SOX17 (cat. no. ab224637; 1:500; Abcam) and anti-β-actin (cat. no. ab8227 1:500; Abcam) overnight at 4°C. Subsequently, they were incubated with IRDye-800-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (cat. no. ab6940, 1:10,000; Abcam) for 30 min at room temperature. The specific proteins were visualized using the Odyssey™ Infrared Imaging system (LI-COR Biosciences). β-actin expression was used as an internal control to confirm equal loading of the protein samples.

Protein samples (50 µg) were transferred to PVDF membranes. After blocking with 5% non-fat milk for 2 h at room temperature, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, anti-E-Cadherin (1:2,000, Cell Signaling Technology, cat.no.14472), anti-N-cadherin (1:2,000, Cell Signaling Technology, cat.no.13116s), anti-Vimentin (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, cat. no.5741s), anti-Zeb-1(1:2,000, Cell Signaling Technology, cat.no.70512s), anti-AR (1:2,000, Cell Signaling Technology, cat.no.19672s), anti-SOX17 (1:2,000, Abcam), anti-Notch1(1:2000, Abcam); anti-Notch2 (1:2,000, CST); anti-Notch3 (1:1,000, Abcam); anti-Notch4 (1:1000, Santa Cruze), and anti-GAPDH (1:1,000, CST, cat. no.5174s) was used as a loading control. The intensity of the protein bands was determined using Image-Pro plus 6.0.

All the embedded PCa and CRPC samples were cut into 5-µm-thick sections. The immunoreactivities of SOX17, Notch1, Notch2, Notch3, Notch4 were detected by an immunoperoxidase staining procedure with the primary antibodies (anti-SOX17, 1:200, Abcam, cat.no.ab192453; anti-Notch1, 1:200, Abcam, cat. no.ab8925; anti-Notch2, 1:200, Cell Signaling Technology, cat.no. D76A6; anti-Notch3, 1:200, Abcam, cat.no. ab23426; anti-Notch4, 1:200, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, cat.no. sc-377399 ). Staining scoring, according to staining intensity, was defined as 0, no staining; 1, weak staining; 2, light staining; 3, moderate staining; and 4, strong staining. Staining scores of ≤1 were defined as negative expression, while staining scores of ≥2 were defined as positive expression.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Assay for SOX17 Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the ChIP Assay, cells were lysed using SDS lysis buffer and DNA was sheared optimized for about 500bp fragments by sonication. Protein-DNA complexes were precipitated by anti-SOX17 (Abcam) or anti-IgG antibody, then recovered using protein G agarose beads, washed, and eluted. Crosslinks were then reversed at 65°C overnight. The immunoprecipitated DNA was amplified by PCR for specific sequences (R1, R2 and R3) containing putative SOX17 binding sites. Primers are listed in Supplementary Table 3.

Western blotting was performed as described previously [16 (link)]. In brief, we used radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer to extract the proteins needed for western blotting. Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was then performed to separate the proteins, which were transferred to poly (vinylidene fluoride) membranes. The following antibodies were used: anti-SOX17 (Abcam, USA), anti-SDF1/CXCL12 (Abcam), and GAPDH (ImmunoWay, USA). Corresponding Alexa Fluor dyes were used for fluorescent detection. DAPI was used for nuclear counter staining. Images were captured on a Zeiss LSM780 laser scanning confocal microscope.

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.
