The OA and normal human articular cartilage were treated with 10% buffered formalin for fixation and decalcified with 10% (w/v) EDTA; pH 7.4 for three weeks and then embedded with paraffin. Sections were cut into 6 μm thickness as well as further dyed with anti-SOX9 (1:500 dilution, Cell Signaling Technology, 82630), anti-HOXD11 (1:300 dilution, Proteintech, 18734-1-AP) at 4 °C overnight, then stained with second antibodies conjugated with HRP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA). Microscope BX51 (Olympus, Japan) was utilized to obtain images. ImageJ analysis software was utilized to quantify the intensity of HOXD11 and SOX9 expression (National Institutes of Health, USA). For histomorphometry, six-micrometer-thick sections of knee cartilage were dyed with H&E, Safranin O and fast green (SOFG) to evaluate cartilage damage. ImageJ was used to quantify safranin O loss in relation to total cartilage. Histological assessment was evaluated based on Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) histological scoring system and performed by two blinded observers.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This experiment was conducted by Crown Bioscience (Santa Clara, CA). The protocol involving the care and use of animals in this study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Crown Bioscience. The primary human colorectal cancer xenograft model (CR2506, BRAFV600E-mutant) fragment (2–3 mm in diameter) was inoculated subcutaneously at the right flank of each mouse. When the tumor volume reached 200–400 mm3, mice was randomized into 3 groups and treated with vehicle or Vemurafenib (75 mg/kg) for four days, twice daily by oral gavage. The mice were then sacrificed 96 hours after first drug administration. The tumors were collected, fixed in formalin and then embedded in paraffin for further immunohistochemistry experiments. The immunohistochemical analysis was performed as previously described (10 (link)). The following antibodies were used: anti-phosphor-FAK (Tyr397) (Abcam, Cat# ab39967, 1:100 dilution); anti-β-catenin (Zymed, Cat# 18-0226, 1:200 dilution); anti-Sox9 (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat# 82630, 1:200 dilution). In situ hybridization (ISH) was conducted using the RNAscope 2.5 HD Reagent Kit and probe recognizing human LGR5 mRNA from Advanced Cell Diagnostics (Newark, CA) according to the manufacturer’s protocols.

Single-cell suspensions were fixed in ice-cold methanol (10 min at −20°C) and permeabilized by incubation with 1% BSA, 0.5% triton-X-100 in PBS for 15 min. Cells were incubated with primary antibody (Rabbit mAb anti-SOX9, Cell-Signaling Technology 94794; rabbit anti-Collagen II, 10 μg/mL, Novus NB100-91715) diluted in ice-cold blocking buffer (1% BSA in PBS) overnight at 4°C followed by appropriate secondary antibodies. Flow cytometry was conducted using a BD Biosciences Fortessa, and the software Diva gating was used for analysis. FSC-H plotted against FSC-A and a gate drawn around the single cells. This gate was applied to a plot of FSC-A against SSC-A, and then, another gate was drawn around the cells, excluding the debris. The combination of these two gates was applied to the histogram of the fluorescence measurement.

Western Blot Analysis of Chondrocyte Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After three washes with PBS, cells were suspended in 4 °C cell lysis buffer (Bio-Rad, CA, USA). Proteins in the lysates were quantified to equivalent and separated by 12% SDS-PAGE. They were then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad, CA, USA). Membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk (Yili, China) in Tris-buffered saline Tween-20 buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA). After blocking, membranes were incubated with primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight. For western blotting primary antibodies, anti-Sox-9, anti-p53, and anti-JNK were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (MA, USA). Anti-aggrecan was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (TX, USA). Anti-collagen-X and anti-collagen-II were purchased from Abcam (CA, USA). After primary antibody incubation, membranes were fully washed and incubated with secondary antibodies (Beyotime, China) at room temperature for 1 h. Finally, membranes were visualized with ECL Prime (Thermo Scientific, CA, USA). GAPDH expression level was used as an internal control.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Pancreatic Sections

Pancreatic sections were deparaffinized with xylene and rehydrated to deionized water, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Immunohistochemical staining and analysis were performed using anti-GFP (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA), and anti-Sox9 (Cell Signaling Technology) antibodies. Following deparaffinization with xylene, and antigen retrieval with citrate buffer, endogenous peroxidase activity was inhibited by incubating the tissue sections in 5% H2O2 for 15 min. The slides were then incubated with 5% normal goat serum (Millipore Sigma, St. Louis, MO) in TBST buffer (tris-buffered saline with 1% tween 20) for 1 h at room temperature. Tissue sections were incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4 °C. Following wash with TBST buffer, tissue sections were incubated for 1 h with horseradish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibody (Vector Laboratories, Beringame, CA) for enzymatic detection or with florescent tagged secondary antibody for immunofluorescence detection. Slides stained with horseradish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibody were development using chromogenic substrate: DAB (Biocare Medical, Pacheco, CA).

Immunofluorescent staining was performed to detect the accumulation of SOX9 and COL2 within the constructs. The constructs were harvested at day 28, washed with PBS, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 4 h, and rinsed with PBS. Then, the constructs were transferred to 30% sucrose overnight, frozen in OCT, and cryostat-sectioned. Sections were treated with 0.1% peroxide followed by 1% bovine serum albumin (Sigma) in PBS for blocking at room temperature. The sections were then incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. Subsequently, the sections were washed and incubated with secondary antibodies (Cell signaling, United States). The following antibodies were used: anti-SOX9 (Cell signaling, United States) and anti-COL2 (Boster, China). Then, the sections were scanned using a Leica SP5 laser confocal microscope.

Protein Expression Analysis by IB

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein expression levels were
determined by IB, as we described
previously.34 (link) Total proteins or membrane
proteins were extracted from SW 1353 cells using cell lysis buffer
for western and IP (Beyotime, China) or a Minute Plasma Membrane Protein
Isolation kit (Invent Biotechnologies, USA) according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Since boiling can cause the aggregation of membrane
proteins, lysates were denatured at 65 °C for 30 min following
the addition of sample buffer as this prevented the aggregation of
membrane proteins. The primary antibodies used for IB were as follows:
anti-GLUT1 (Cell Signaling Technology; 1:1000), anti-SOX9 (Cell Signaling
Technology; 1:1000), anti-Nrf-2 (Cell Signaling Technology; 1:1000),
anti-hexokinase II (HK2, Cell Signaling Technology; 1:1000), anti-p-p70
S6K (Cell Signaling Technology; 1:1000), anti-β-actin (Cell
Signaling Technology; 1:1000), and anti- Na-K-ATP (Cell Signaling
Technology; 1:1000). The HRP-linked anti-rabbit IgG antibody (1:1000–1:2000)
and HRP-linked anti-mouse IgG antibody (1:1000–1:2000) were
obtained from Cell Signaling Technology.

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.
