hADMs were snap-frozen after coincubation with PBMCs mentioned previously. hADMs were cut using cryomicrotome into 20 μM longitudinal sections and seeded on glass slides. Next, cryosections were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) and incubated in a detergent (0.1% Triton X-100 (Sigma)) in 0.02% SDS-PBS (Sigma-Aldrich and Corning, respectively), followed by incubation with blocking buffer (10% normal donkey serum–Abcam, Cambridge, UK) in 1% BSA in PBS). Next, the slides were stained with a specific primary antibody for collagen types I, III and IV or incubated in staining buffer (1% protease-free bovine serum albumin (Sigma) in PBS) for 60 min in a high humidity chamber in the dark. Next, the slides were washed three times in washing buffer (Tween20-PBS) and stained with appropriate secondary antibodies. For detailed characteristics of primary and related secondary antibodies, please see Supplementary Table S3. Finally, the specimens were mounted in Prolong Gold mounting medium with DAPI (Thermo Fisher) and covered with cover slides (Avantor, Gliwice, Poland), followed by overnight incubation at RT in the dark before analysis by confocal microscopy.

Single-cell suspensions of 5 × 104–1 × 106 cells from mouse prostate tissue of different ages (each n = 4) were stained in cell staining buffer comprised of 1X DPBS (Gibco) with 5 g/L protease-free bovine serum albumin (Sigma-Aldrich) and 200 mg/L sodium azide (Sigma-Aldrich). Nonspecific antibody binding by Fc receptors was blocked using TruStain fcX (anti-mouse CD16/32) Antibody (BioLegend) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were then stained with rat anti-CD49f-PE (BioLegend), rat anti-CD326 (EpCAM)-APC/Cy7 (BioLegend), goat anti-Trop2-APC (R&D Systems), and rat anti-CD45-FITC (BioLegend) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were washed with cell staining buffer then fixed in 1% paraformaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Sciences) for 10–15 minutes at 37°C. After fixation, cells were chilled on ice for 1 minute, washed with cell staining buffer, and stored at 4°C before analysis on a FACSCanto flow cytometer (BD Biosciences).

Protein Extraction and Western Blot Analysis

Tumor tissues (50–75 mg/mouse) were minced on ice and homogenized using a Dounce homogenizer and centrifuged at 16,000g at 4°C for 10 min. The total protein in samples was determined using the Pierce Protein Assay kit. Fifty micrograms of sample was electrophoresed on 4–12% Bis-Tris precast gels (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). After electrotransfer to nitrocellulose, membranes were blocked at room temperature with TBST [10 mmol/L Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.5 mol/L NaCl and 0.1% (v/v) Tween 20] containing 5% nonfat milk (BioRad, Hercules, CA) for 1 hr. Cleaved Notch, cleaved caspase 3 and actin primary antibodies (Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA) were diluted at 1:1,000 in TBST containing 5% protease-free bovine serum albumin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), and the membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with rocking. After washing three times with TBST, the membranes were incubated for 1 hr at room temperature with anti-rabbit IgG horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibody at a final dilution of 1:50,000 in TBST. After washing three times with TBST, bound antibodies were detected by enhanced chemiluminescence (Millipore, Temecula, California).

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.
