RIPA buffer was used to extract total protein. Proteins were quantified using a BCA protein determination Kit (KeyGEN Biotech, Nanjing, China). 30 μg protein was separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of RCC Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Paraffin-embedded tumor tissue specimens were sliced into 5-μm-thick sections and mounted onto slides. Then, the slices were deparaffinized, rehydrated, subjected to antigen retrieval, and incubated with specific primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Subsequently, the sections were incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h after washing three times with PBS. After staining with diaminobenzidine (DAB), the sections were visualized under a microscope. In this study, the patient tumor sections were stained with phospho-p44/42 Erk1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) (4370, Cell Signaling Technology) to assess the expression of the protein in RCC. The quantification of phospho-Erk1/2 was scored by the product of intensity and percentage of staining. The xenograft tumor sections were stained with anti-Ki67 (ab15580, Abcam), anti-E2F1 (ab4070, Abcam), anti-RRM1 (8637, Cell Signaling Technology), and RRM2 (ab57653, Abcam) to verify the molecular mechanisms detected in vitro.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ChIP assay was implemented to testify the interplay between E2F1 and ASK1 promoter via using the ChIP assay kit (KT101-01, gzscbio, Gunagzhou, China). Cells were first cross-linked in 4% paraformaldehyde and then sonicated into chromatin fragments of 200-1000-bp which were incubated with the antibodies against E2F1 (ab4070, Abcam, UK) and negative control IgG (ab6789, Abcam, UK). After that, magnetic beads were added to enrich RNA, and finally, the immunoprecipitated RNAs were extracted and purified.

ChIP assays were performed using a Pierce Agarose ChIP Kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol. PANC1 cells were crosslinked with 1% formaldehyde for 10 min at 37 °C and then incubated with anti-E2F1 antibodies (Abcam, ab4070) and anti-Rabbit IgG (Abcam, ab2410). Bound DNA fragments were subjected to RT-PCR using specific primers (Table 2).

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.
