Immunohistochemical Analysis of VEGF-D and Lymphatic Vessels in Gallbladder Carcinoma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The VEGF-D expression and lymphatic vessels of GBC specimens were detected by immunohistochemistry as previously described [21 (link)]. The primary antibodies were VEGF-D (ab155288, Abcam) at a 1:80 dilution and LYVE-1 (AF2125, R&D Systems) at a 1:150 dilution. The method used to measure the VEGF-D expression has been described previously [23 (link)]. The density of LYVE-1-positive vessels (lymphatic vessels density, LVD) was assessed according to the method described by Qiang Du [24 (link)].

The HaCat cells cultured with or without naringin were harvested and total cell protein was extracted using whole cell lysis buffer. The protein concentrations were determined by the Bradford method (Bio-Rad, CA, USA). Samples with an equal amount of protein were subjected to 8–15% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) membrane. The membrane was incubated at room temperature in blocking solution (5% nonfat milk) for 1 h followed by incubation for 2 h in blocking solution containing an appropriate dilution of anti-MMP2 (ab86607, abcam), MMP-9 (ab76003, abcam), MMP-14 (ab51074, abcam), TIMP-1 (MAB3300, millipore), TIMP-2 (ab180630, abcam), VEGF-A (ab46154, abcam), VEGF-B(ab185696, abcam), VEGF-C (ab191274, abcam), VEGF-D (ab155288, abcam), VEGF-R1(ab32152, abcam), VEGF-R2 (9698, cell Signaling), VEGF-R3 (2485, cell Signaling), and β actin (E-AB-20058, Elabscience). After washing, blots were then probed with appropriate secondary horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA) and detected by an ECL detection system (Millipore). β-actin served as internal control.

Immunocytochemical Analysis of Stem Cell Secretome

DPSCs and SHED were cultured on coverslips coated with poly-L-lysin. After washing with PBS (Invitrogen), the samples were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. The fixed cells were permeabilized with PBS containing 0.25% Triton X-100 (PBST; Bio Basic, Seoul, Korea), washed, and incubated with 5% BSA (Sigma–Aldrich) in PBST to block nonspecific antibody binding.
The cells were incubated in primary antibodies diluted in 5% BSA/PBST overnight at 4 °C. The primary antibodies included antihuman interleukin-6 (IL-6; rabbit polyclonal antibody, ab6672, Abcam; 1:500), antihuman brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF; rabbit monoclonal antibody, ab108319, Abcam; 1:200), antihuman placental growth factor (PLGF; rabbit polyclonal antibody, ab9542, Abcam; 1:500), and antihuman vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D; rabbit monoclonal antibody, ab155288, Abcam; 1:200). After washing, the cells were incubated with biotinylated secondary antibody (biotinylated antirabbit IgG, Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA, USA) in 5% BSA/PBST for 1 h at RT. After washing, the cells were incubated with streptavidin–HRP (Vector Labs) in 5% BSA/PBST for 30 min at RT. Color was developed using 3,3ʹ-diaminobenzidine substrate (Abcam) and hematoxylin (Merck). Coverslips were mounted using a drop of mounting medium (Vector Labs) and stored at RT.

Cryomold tumour samples were cryosectioned in 5 µm‐thick sections and immediately mounted on slides. The sections were post‐fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and stained either with haematoxylin and eosin (HE) or for immunofluorescence (IF), as described.23 Tissue sections were heated for 10 min in 10 mM sodium citrate pH 6.0 for antigen retrieval. Sections were permeabilized for 5 min in 0.3% Triton X‐100 PBS solution before blocking for 1 h in 0.3% milk,10% bovine serum albumin and 0.3% Triton X‐100 in PBS. Primary antibodies were monoclonal rabbit anti‐VEGFD (ab155288; Abcam) and monoclonal mouse anti‐PDGFRB.24 Secondary antibodies were donkey anti‐rabbit Alexa Fluor 594 (Invitrogen # A‐21207) and donkey anti‐mouse Alexa Fluor 488 (Invitrogen # A‐21202). Primary and secondary antibodies were diluted in blocking solution and incubated at 4°C overnight and 37°C for 2 hours, respectively. Hoechst (Invitrogen) was used to stain nuclei. Fluorescence was observed with a Zeiss Axiovert 200 inverted fluorescence microscope (Zeiss). HE slides were scanned using an Oyster imaging system (3DHistech).

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.
