MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells
were grown on coverslips and exposed to PSMPs, as described in Section 4.2, for indicated times. Then, the samples
were processed for immunofluorescence as described previously.60 (link) In brief, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde
and permeabilised with 0.2% saponin. The samples were then incubated
with anti-LAMP1 antibody (Abcam, ab24170) at 4 °C overnight followed
by second antibody Alexa Fluor 647 (Invitrogen, A-31573). The coverslips
were then mounted in the mounting media (16% [wt/vol] Mowiol 4–24
[EMD Millipore] and 30% [vol/vol] glycerol in PBS) and analyzed under
a confocal laser scanning microscope (LSM700; Carl Zeiss; 63×
oil-immersion objective (1.4 NA)) (Figure S4). Images were processed using ImageJ software. The line scan analysis
was performed as described previously61 (link) and adopted for the indicated experiment. Specifically, a line was
drawn in the middle of the LAMP1 positive structure and the PSMPs.
Then, the fluorescence intensity of each stained object along this
line was plotted. Excel was used for data analyses and graphing. Adobe
Photoshop CS3 was used to adjust the contrast of the images (for presentation
only), whereas Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 (Adobe Systems) was used
to illustrate figures.

Twenty-five micrograms of total protein extracts prepared according to standard methods were fractioned by SDS-PAGE (4–12% Bis–Tris/SDS polyacrylamide gel, NuPAGE, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and transferred onto Hybond nitrocellulose filters (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Buckinghamshire, UK). Filters were blocked for 1 h at room temperature in 1× PBS-Tween20, 5% skim milk, and then incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies: Rabbit polyclonal anti-γ-H2AX (ab11174, Abcam, Cambridge, UK); anti-LAMP-1 (ab24170, Abcam); anti-LC3B (ab51520, Abcam); and anti-PARP-1 (#9542, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). Mouse monoclonal anti-GAPDH (G8796, Sigma-Aldrich S.r.l.) and anti-Vinculin (VCL, V9131, Sigma-Aldrich S.r.l.) antibodies were used to ensure equal protein loading. The filters were then probed with secondary, peroxidase-linked whole antibodies (GE Healthcare) for 1 h at room temperature, and blotted proteins were detected using the Novex® ECL HRP Chemiluminescent detection system (Thermo Fisher). Filters were then subjected to autoradiography, the films were scanned, and images were analyzed using ImageJ 1.46r.

Western blot analysis was performed as previously described [6 ]. Regular Western blot analysis was performed using LV lysates that were prepared using RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, and a protein inhibitor mixture (Sigma-Aldrich)). In addition, Western blot analysis of protein aggregation was performed using LV detergent-soluble and -insoluble lysates. Briefly, detergent-soluble fractions of LV tissues were obtained using a 2% Triton X-100 lysis buffer (50 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 2% Triton X-100, and a protein inhibitor mixture (Sigma-Aldrich)). The insoluble fractions were further solubilized using the 2% Triton X-100 lysis buffer supplemented with 1% SDS. Primary antibodies included anti-LC3 (L7543, Sigma-Aldrich), anti-P62 (ab91526, abcam), anti-NQO1 (sc-376023, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), Anti-ATG5 (A2859, Sigma-Aldrich), anti-ATG7 (A2856, Sigma-Aldrich), anti-LAMP1 (ab24170, Abcam), anticathepsin D (2284, CST), and anti-Ub (sc-8017, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.).

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.
