Total protein was collected according to the methods described in our previous report. The protein concentration was assessed using a Thermo Fisher bicinchoninic acid (BCA) kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Protein samples were separated using 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies diluted to the recommended concentration, including mouse anti-α-SMA (Abcam, Ab240654, 1:500), rabbit anti-collagen I (Abcam, Ab260043 1:500), rabbit anti-SENP1 (Abcam, Ab236094, 1:500), rabbit anti-β-Catenin (Abcam, Ab32572, 1:500), and rabbit anti-GLI1 (Abcam, Ab217326, 1:500), rabbit anti-SPC (Abcam, Ab211326, 1:500) overnight at 4 °C. The membranes samples were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody at room temperature for 1.5 h, and the protein bands were detected using a chemiluminescence device.

The collected samples were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and then embedded in paraffin. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using 4 μm thick wart and foreskin sections. First, the sections were placed on a microscope slide, baked for about 30 min, deparaffinized in xylene and ethanol, and subsequently placed into the immunohisto stainer (Leica bond‐max). The sections were then incubated with 3% H2O2 solution for 20 min to inhibit endogenous peroxidase. Thereafter, the sections were treated with 3% goat serum for 30 min and then incubated with the primary antibodies, namely rabbit anti‐SHh monoclonal antibody (Abcam, ab53281, diluted at 1:500), anti‐Ptch1 polyclonal antibody (Abcam, ab53715, diluted 1:100), a polyclonal antibody of Gli1 (Abcam, ab217326, diluted 1:800), and anti‐Cyclin B1 monoclonal antibody (Abcam, ab32053, diluted 1:250). After removing the primary antibodies, they were incubated with the secondary antibody (DAKO, antGene ANT058) for 25 min. The sections without primary antibodies were used as the negative control. Sections were stained in diaminobenzidine solution, counterstained in hematoxylin solution, blued in bluing reagent, dehydrated in a series of ethanol and xylene, and resin sealed. The slides were visualized using a light microscope. The average optical density (AOD) of the photos was calculated by the Image J software.

Paraffin tissue sections were preheated in an incubator at 65°C for 5 h, dewaxed
with conventional xylene, repaired in a water bath inside a pressure cooker, and
blocked with a peroxidase blocker for 30 min.9 (link) The samples were then
incubated overnight at 4°C with the primary antibodies rabbit anti-human Shh
(ab53281, Abcam), rabbit anti-human Gli1 (ab217326, Abcam), and rabbit
anti-human Cyr61 (ab228592, Abcam). The slides were then incubated with
horseradish peroxidase conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody for
30 min at 37°C. Finally, the diaminobenzidine (DAB) color reaction was observed.
Two senior pathologists evaluated the immunohistochemical staining results. The
staining intensity was scored as follows: 0 point for negative, 1 point for weak
positive, 2 points for positive, and 3 points for strong positive. The staining
intensity score was multiplied by the percentage of positive cells to obtain the
final H-Score, and the median H-Score served as the positive-negative
cut-off.10 (link) Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the surgical
treatment date to the end of follow-up or date of death.

The cells were collected through centrifugation and resuspended with RIPA (50 mmol/l Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mmol/l NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, and 0.1% SDS). They were ultrasonicated at 12,000 r/min and centrifuged at 4°C for 10 min. Total protein concentration was determined in accordance with the instructions of the BCA kit. SDS-PAGE was performed with 30 µg of each sample. Protein was transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% skimmed milk at room temperature for 1 h. The samples were incubated with the primary antibodies of Gli1 (ab217326, 1:1,000 dilution; Abcam), Gli2 (ab277800, 1:1,000, Abcam), and Rab23 (ab230200, 1:1,000, Abcam) separately.

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.
