Immunohistochemical Analysis of Protein Expression

Tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. In citrate buffer (pH 6.0), slides were heated in an autoclave for 3 min for antigen retrieval. Slides were incubated with appropriate primary antibody (ERO1α from Santa Cruz; or S1PR1 from Abcam; or p-STAT3, VEGF-A, or CD34 from CST) overnight at 4 °C, followed by counterstaining with hematoxylin. The ERO1α expression status was graded by two independent observers as described by immunohistochemistry score: scoring was conducted based on the percentage of positive-staining cells: 0–5% scored 0, 6–35% scored 1, 36–70% scored 2, and more than 70% scored 3; staining intensity: no staining scored 0, weakly staining scored 1, moderately staining scored 2, and strongly staining scored 3. The final score was calculated using the percentage score × staining intensity score as follows: “0” for a score of 0–1, “1” for a score of 2–3, “2” for a score of 4–6, and “3” for a score of >6. In subsequent analyses, scores “0” and “1” were defined as the low group and scores “2” and “3” were defined as the high group scores.

Proteins extracted from aortic tissues and HAECs (10–25 μg) were separated via SDS-PAGE and transferred to Immobilon-P poly(vinylidene fluoride) membranes. Immunoblots were probed with antibodies for cleaved caspase-3 (Cell Signaling, #9661), ERO1α (Santa Cruz, sc-365526), GAPDH (Santa Cruz, sc-32233) and PTP1B (BD bioscience, #610140).

Concentrations of proteins extracted from cell lines or tumor tissues were determined by bicinchoninic acid assay kits (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Proteins were resolved by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). After blocking with 5% skim milk powder at room temperature for 2 h, membranes were incubated with primary antibody (1:1000) overnight at 4 °C. Appropriate secondary antibody (1:2000) was added before incubation for 2 h at 37 °C. Protein band intensities were measured using Image Lab software. GAPDH was used as the internal control. Western blots were quantified using Image Pro Plus version 6. Primary antibodies were from rabbits against S1PR1, VEGF-A (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), STAT3, p-STAT3, E-cadherin, vimentin, Slug, and GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA); and from mice against ERO1α (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA).

RNA was isolated with RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN) and single-strand cDNA was made with High Capacity RNA-to-cDNA Kit (Applied Biosystems, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Taqman gene expression assays (Applied Biosystems, Thermo Fisher) were used to perform real-time PCR using the StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR system (Applied Biosystems, Thermo Fisher). Gene expression for PERK (Eif2ak3), ATF4 (Atf4), CHOP (Ddit3), and ERO1α (Ero1) were normalized to Gapdh. For immunoblots cell lysates were prepared in RIPA buffer (Sigma-Aldrich) and probed with PERK (Cell Signaling Technology), ERO1α (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies or β-actin (Cell Signaling Technology) loading control.

T cells were lysed in RIPA Buffer (Sigma) supplemented with Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Cell Signaling Technology) and Phosphatase Inhibitors I and II (Sigma). Protein concentrations were normalized using Pierce BCA Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and loaded to 4%–10% agarose gels (Bio-Rad). P-eIF2α, eIF2α, PERK, CHOP, ATF4, β-actin, and HRP-linked anti-rabbit and mouse secondaries were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology, ERO1α was obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnologies. Phospho protein was developed with Pierce ECL Plus Western Blotting Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

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.
