Immunohistochemical and Immunoblot Analysis of Tumor Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All tumor samples and control tissues were fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde, dehydrated, and embedded in paraffin. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained sections were used for diagnostic purposes and unstained sections for immunohistochemical studies. Protein concentration was determined, and equal amounts of total proteins were separated on SDS- PAGE. IHC was performed with the following antibodies: rabbit polyclonal antibody for Cleaved Caspase-3 (Cell Signaling) and Ki-67 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). The evaluation of the IHC was conducted blindly, without knowledge of the treatment. Immunoblot analyses were performed on lysates extracted from tumors. Antibodies used for western blot included PAK1, phospho-PAK1, Cleaved Caspase-3, H2AX and phospho-H2AX from Cell Signaling Technology; Rad51, FANCI, FANCD2 and Ki-67 were from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. GAPDH was used as loading control.

Total protein was extracted from cells using RIPA buffer (Boster, Wuhan, China) containing the protease inhibitor PMSF (Boster). Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes. The blots were blocked by incubation with 5% fat-free milk at room temperature for 2 h and then incubated overnight at 4°C with a 1:500 dilution of antibodies to the following proteins: FANCI (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), IMPDH2, MEK1/2, ERK1/2, MMP2, MMP9, GAPDH (all Proteintech, Wuhan, China), phospho (p)-MEK1/2, and p-ERK1/2 (both Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). The membranes were washed three times with TBST and then incubated for 2 h with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated rabbit or mouse secondary antibodies. After signal development, expression of proteins was analyzed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Western Blot Analysis of DNA Repair Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole-cell lysates were extracted using radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer (50 mM Tris [pH 7.4], 150 mM sodium chloride [NaCl], 0.25% deoxycholic acid, 1% NP-40, 1 mM EDTA) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche). Protein from the insoluble fraction was extracted from the cell pellet using a solubilization solution (8 M urea, 10% 2-mercaptoethanol, 2 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride [PMSF]) and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. Protein was quantitated using a Bradford assay (Bio-Rad) and run on a Tris-glycine sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel. Protein was transferred to an Immobilon-P polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Millipore) and probed with primary and secondary antibodies. ECL (enhanced chemiluminescence) or ECL Prime (GE) was used to visualize protein. The antibodies used were FANCD2 (Abcam no. ab108928; Thermo Scientific catalog no. MA1-16570), cytokeratin 10 (Santa Cruz catalog no. sc52318), γH2AX-Ser139 (Cell Signaling catalog no. 5438), FANCI (Santa Cruz catalog no. sc-98532), BRCA1 (Cell Signaling catalog no. 9010), RAD51 (Cell Signaling catalog no. 8875), BRCA2 (Cell Signaling catalog no. 9012), and GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; Santa Cruz catalog no. sc-47724).

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.
