Myc-DDK (Flag)–tagged VEGFR2 (CAT#: RC219851; Origene, Rockville, MD) was stably overexpressed in RF24-par cells. These cells were then treated with VEGF (10 ng/ml) + Bev (5μg/μl), and the nuclear extracts were prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Thermo Fisher Scientific). These nuclear extracts were incubated with anti-Flag M2 affinity gel (Sigma-Aldrich) overnight at 4°C, and the pulled-down complex was pH-adjusted by adding 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate and digested by adding 200 ng modified sequencing-grade trypsin (Promega, Madison, WI) for 18 hours at 37°C. The resulting peptides and compound were analyzed by LC-MS/MS on an Orbitrap-Elite mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) as described previously (Chan et al., 2013 (link)). The expression of VEGFR2 on the pulled-down complex was validated by applying an anti-VEGFR2 antibody (ab39256; Abcam, Cambridge, MA).

The vasculature within the tumors was examined via immunohistochemistry techniques specific for angiogenesis-mediated markers (CD31, CD34, CD44, and VEGFR2). Tissues were fixed in 10% formalin prior to paraffin embedding. Sections (4 mm thick) were deparaffinized using xylene and rehydrated in a series of ethanol solutions at concentrations ranging from 95% to 100%. Antigen retrieval was achieved by incubating samples with citrate buffer (pH 6) at room temperature, followed by heating them in microwave for 10 minutes. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked using a peroxidase-blocking reagent (Dako Denmark A/S, Glostrup, Denmark) for 5 minutes in a wet chamber. The sections were incubated with CD31 (Abcam ab28364, 1:100), CD34 (Abcam ab81289, 1:100), CD44 (Abcam ab51037, 1:100), and VEGFR2 (Abcam ab39256, 1:100) in EnVision™ Flex antibody diluent (Dako).

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.
