Equal numbers of cells from each stem or progenitor population were sorted into HBSS supplemented with 2% (v/v) heat-inactivated bovine serum (GIBCO). Samples were washed once with PBS and centrifuged at 2500 g at 4°C for 5 min. Supernatant was discarded and protein pellets were directly lysed and solubilized in 9M urea, 2% SDS, 50 mM DTT, and 50 mM Tris pH 7.4. After incubating the samples for 10–15 min at room temperature, LDS loading buffer (Life Technologies) was added and the sample was heated at 70°C for 10 minutes. Samples were separated on Bis-Trispolyacrylamide gels (Life Technologies). The Bis-Trispolyacrylamide gels were then stained with SYPRO Ruby Protein Gel Stain (Bio-Rad) for 3 h and washed in a solution containing 7% acetic acid and 10% methanol for 1 h. Gels were imaged using Gel Doc XR (Bio-Rad) and analyzed with Image Lab 6.0.1 software (Bio-Rad).
For bone marrow cells, incubated at 37°C or 42°C, 105 cells were sorted into TCA. The final concentration was adjusted to 10% TCA. Extracts were incubated on ice for at least 15 min and centrifuged at 15,000 g at 4°C for 15 min. Precipitates were washed in acetone twice and dried. The pellets were solubilized in 6 M urea, 2% (v/v) Triton X-100, and 1% (v/v) 2-mercaptoethanol. The protein content in the supernatant was assessed with the microBCA assay (Pierce).

Fractionation of Raw Cow Milk Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To fractionate raw cow’s milk based on molecular size, qEV size exclusion columns (Izon Science, Oxford, UK) were used according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, 0.5 mL of 10,000× g raw milk supernatant (free of cells, cell debris, and cream) was loaded onto the size exclusion column (Izon Science) and the first 3 mL of eluent was discarded. Eluent fractions of 0.5 mL were then collected up to 12 mL (24 fractions), by continuously adding RPMI 1640 medium without l-glutamine and phenol red (Lonza) to the column. Protein content of each fraction was quantified by using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (A280; Thermo Fisher Scientific). To determine the molecular weight of the proteins in each fraction, proteins were separated by using a 12.5% SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions and visualized with SYPRO® Ruby Protein Gel Stain (Bio-Rad, Veenendaal, The Netherlands). Fractions were stored at −80 °C until further use.

CSPs were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Amersham; 0.45 μm). For the detection of SLO, a monoclonal anti-streptolysin O antibody (Abcam) was diluted 1:5,000 in 5% nonfat milk and incubated with the membranes for 1 h at room temperature. The membranes were then washed with a solution of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)–Tween (0.1%) 3 times for 5 min each. The primary antibody was detected using an anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody conjugated with IRDye 700 dye (Li-Cor), which was diluted 1:10,000 in 5% nonfat milk and incubated with the membrane blots for 1 h. The blots were washed and analyzed with densitometry using an Odyssey CLx infrared imaging system with Image Studio imaging software (Li-Cor). Densitometry values (expressed in arbitrary units [AU]) were obtained using the Image Studio imaging software associated with the Li-Cor Odyssey infrared imaging system. To confirm that equal amounts of protein were analyzed, a separate SDS-PAGE gel was stained for total protein using Sypro ruby protein gel stain (Bio-Rad).

Gel-Based Protein Expression Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For image analysis, gels were stained with fluorescent SYPRO Ruby Protein Gel Stain (Bio‐Rad) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fluorescent stained gels were digitalized in a Molecular Imager FX scanner, obtaining images with Quantity One 4.2.3 software (Bio‐Rad) and analyzing them with ProgenesisSameSpots software (Nonlinear Dynamics, Newcastle, UK). The gel patterns from each independent analysis were matched and the relative volume of each spot (%V) in the two gel sets were compared (disease‐free and metastasis progression). Spots were considered to be expressed distinctly if the difference in the relative volume of each spot was significant at p < 0.05. Gels were stored in deionized water at 4°C and to visualize the spots of interest for further analysis, silver staining was performed as described by Rabilloud,11 with minor modifications.
