Protein-Protein Interaction Experiments Using Proximity Ligation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protein–protein interaction experiments (growth factor receptors interactions with mucins and integrin complexes) were performed by using Duo Link II (Olink Bioscience, Watertown, MA, USA) Proximity Ligation Assay kit according to the manufacturer’s recommendation, as described previously [28 (link)]. Briefly, T3M4 WT and SC cells were grown on coverslips and then incubated with primary antibodies specific to MUC16 (AR9.6, Quest PharmaTech, Inc., AB, Canada), α4-integrin (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), and β1-integrin (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), and then the primary antibodies were incubated with PLA probes anti-rabbit PLUS, anti-mouse MINUS. Experiments omitting the primary antibody used for single recognition PLA or either one of the primary antibodies used in double recognition PLA served as a negative control. The fluorescence images were captured under a Zeiss LSM 510 laser scanning confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Inc., Thornwood, NY, USA) at Confocal Laser Scanning Fluorescence Microscopy Core Facility, UNMC. The signal/dots per cell were quantified by using blob finder software.

Spinal Cord Immunohistochemistry Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Animals were killed using an overdose of halothane anesthesia and transcardially perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS. The spinal cords were dissected and fixed for 2 h with 4% paraformaldehyde and subsequently overnight in 30% sucrose in PBS. The spinal cords were then frozen in Tissue-Tek embedding compound and sectioned on a Leica (Deerfield, IL) CM3050S cryostat.
20 µm thick frozen sections were cut on a leica (CM3050S) Cryostat and collected on Superfrost Bond Rite slides (Richard Allen Scientific). Every fifth section was placed on the same slide such that each adjacent section was 80 µm away from its neighbor. Four sections were placed on each slide and hence the width of the frozen cord spanned on each slide was 240 µm. We roughly averaged about 20 slides per cord. Sections were processed for immunohistochemistry in the same manner as described for the cells. Primary antibodies used were: GFAP (Sigma, mouse IgG1 1∶500), β1integrin (Millipore, rat IgG, 1∶500), HUTS-4 (Millipore, mouse IgG1 1∶500).

For protein extraction, cells were lysed in T-Per Tissue Protein Extraction Reagent (Thermo), 1 mM PMSF (Sigma), 1× Halt Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail (Thermo), and Complete Protease Inhibitor Tablet (Roche). Total protein extract was resolved by SDS-PAGE on precast gels (Bio-Rad) and then transferred to Immuno-blot PVDF Membranes (Bio-Rad) using a Bio-Rad mini-Protein II Transfer system. Membranes were rinsed in 0.1% Tween (Sigma)/TBS (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl), blocked for 1 h at RT in 5% low-fat milk (Carnation)/0.1% Tween/TBS (blocking buffer), then incubated with primary antibodies in blocking buffer overnight at 4 °C. Primary antibodies against following antigens were used at specified dilutions: β1-integrin, 1:1000 (Millipore); Cyclin A, 1:200; Cyclin B1, 1:200; Cyclin D1, 1:200; Cyclin D2, 1:200; Cyclin D3, 1:200; Cyclin E, 1:200; Gapdh, 1:5000; pErk, Erk, pAkt, Akt, FAK, and pFAK, all at 1:1000.

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.
