SNU449 cells were transiently transfected with strep-tagged TM4SF5 11 (link) (or mock-transfected) for 24 h and then treated with Ab27 or Ab79 (10 µg/ml) for an additional 24 h. Cells were lysed in lysis buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 2 mM CaCl2) containing 1% Brij58. Whole cell lysates (850 µg/condition) were immunoprecipitated with streptavidin beads (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) at 4ºC for 16 h. The protein complexes were washed twice with ice-cold lysis buffer and then twice with PBS. The immunoprecipitated proteins were eluted by boiling in SDS sample buffer and analyzed by immunoblotting with anti-Strep tag (IBA; Olivette, MO, USA), anti-integrin α2 (Chemicon, Temecula, CA, USA), anti-integrin α5 (BD Biosciences), and anti-CD44 (BioLegend; San Diego, CA, USA) antibodies.

Quantitative Analysis of Protein Markers

Total protein concentration from the lysates was determined using the Bio-Rad protein assay kit. Equal amount of protein was loaded and separated in 10% or 12% SDS-PAGE, followed by transfer to PVDF membrane (Millipore). The membranes were then incubated with anti-AQP4 (Millipore, AB3594, 1:500), anti-occludin (Invitrogen, 71-1500, 1:1000), anti-ZO-1 (Invitrogen, 40-2200, 1:1000), anti-Claudin-5 (Invitrogen, 34-1600, 1:1000), anti-PDGFRβ (Cell Signaling, 3169S, 1:500), anti-SMA (Sigma, F3777, 1:1000), anti-SM22-α (GeneTex, GTX113561, 1:1000), anti-integrin α2 (Millipore, AB1936, 1:500), anti-myocardin (R&D, MAB4028, 1:500) and anti-actin (Sigma, A5441, 1:2000) antibodies at 4 overnight, followed by incubation with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch Lab). The proteins were visualized by SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate (Pierce). The density of bands was normalized to actin and quantified using NIH Image J.

Integrin-Mediated Cell Adhesion Enhancement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The involvement of integrins in the enhancement of cell adhesion by the ROCK inhibitor was evaluated by seeding MCECs (5 × 103 cells/well) in 96-well plates in the presence or absence of integrin-neutralizing antibodies (2 μg/mL): anti-α1 integrin (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA), anti-α2 integrin (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA), anti-α3 integrin (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA), anti-α4 integrin (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA), anti-α5 integrin (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA), anti-α6 integrin (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA), anti-αV integrin (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA), anti-α6 integrin (Merck Millipore), and anti-β1 integrin (R&D systems Inc., Minneapolis, MN). The effect of inhibiting phosphorylation of MLC and RhoA activity on cell adhesion was also evaluated by seeding MCECs with blebbistatin (10 μM) and C3 (300 ng/ml), respectively. Three hours after seeding, the numbers of adherent cells were determined with the CellTiter-GloTM luminescent cell viability assay (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The number of adhered cells was determined using a VeritasTM microplate luminometer (Promega Corporation).

FACS Analysis of Stem Cell Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FACS analysis was performed as described previously [13 (link)]. The following primary antibodies were used: anti-CD44v9 (Cosmo Bio Co., Ltd., Japan), anti-CD24 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), anti-α2-integrin (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), and anti-β1-integrin (Abcam, Cambridge, UK). Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was calculated by subtracting the intensities of the control samples. These experiments were independently performed three times.

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.
