For detection of TFE3, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 10 min at room temperature, washed with PBS containing 0.3% Triton X-100, incubated with an antibody against either TFE3 (Sigma, #HPA023881) at 1:500 overnight at 4°C. Cells were washed in PBS, incubated with an Alexa Fluor-labeled anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 1:500 for 2 hours at room temperature, washed in PBS, and mounted with ProLong Gold antifade reagent with DAPI (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Fluorescence images were obtained using a confocal laser-scanning microscope (A1R, Nikon). Scanning was performed in sequential laser emission mode to avoid scanning at other wavelengths.

Cells were lysed with ice-cold RIPA buffer (Boston BioProducts) in the presence of 1 × protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma), 1 mM NaF and 1 mM Na3VO4. Total cell lysates were mixed with 2 × SDS-loading buffer and were boiled at 95 °C for 10 min. Protein samples (10–100 μg) were then loaded and separated on 4–12% gradient SDS–PAGE gels (Invitrogen) and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. The membranes were blocked for 1 h with 1% bovine serum albumin in PBS supplemented with 0.1% Tween 20 and were incubated with antibodies against GFP (1:10,000; Covance, MMS-118P), LC3 (1:2,000; Sigma, L8918), Lamin A/C (1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology, 4777), Lamp1 (1:1,000; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank, H4A3), γ-tubulin (1:4,000; Sigma, T5326), TFEB (1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology, 4240) and TFE3 (1:4,000; Sigma, HPA023881), respectively. Bound antibodies were detected using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit (65-6120) or anti-mouse (62–6520) secondary antibodies (1:5,000, Invitrogen) and enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). Band intensities were quantified in Image J software. Full versions of all blots are shown in Supplementary Fig. 36.

Protein Extraction and Immunoblot Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were lysed in a standard lysis buffer (1% Triton X-100; Cell Signaling, #9803).Where soluble and insoluble fractions are needed, samples were sonicated and centrifuged at 17,000g for 15 min and supernatant was defined as the soluble fraction. The pellet (insoluble fraction) was washed with lysis buffer, suspended in boiling SDS–PAGE loading buffer and sonicated for protein solubilization. Standard techniques were used for protein quantification, separation, transfer and blotting47 (link). The following primary antibodies were used: TFEB (Bethyl, A303-673A, 1:1,000), Cathepsin D (gift from Dr Stuart Kornfeld, Washington University, 1:4,000), Lamp1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-19992, 1:2,000), p62/SQSTM1 (abcam, ab56416, 1:2,000), LC3 (Novus Biologicals, NB100-2220, 1:1,000), polyubiquitinated proteins (FK-2, Millipore, 04-263, 1:1,000), MiTF (Thermo Scientific, MS-771, 1:1,000) and TFE3 (Sigma Life Science, HPA023881, 1:1,000).

Primary hepatic macrophages and RAW264 macrophages were seeded on chambered cover glasses (Nalge Nunc) and stimulated as indicated. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with anti-LAMP1 (121601; BioLegend), LAMP2 (ab13524; Abcam), Galectin-3 (14979-1-AP; Proteintech), TFE3 (HPA023881; Sigma-Aldrich), Egr1 (4153; Cell Signaling), osteopontin (AF808; R&D), and Filipin (50 μg/ml; Polysciences). Photographs were captured under identical settings for each staining. TFE3-positive ratio was quantified by counting the number of TFE3-positive nuclei out of DAPI spots.

Immunohistochemical Profiling of Tumor Cells

The 4-μm-thick sections were prepared from 10% FFPE tissue blocks for TFE3 IHC staining. All slides were exposed to 3% H2O2 for 10 minutes at room temperature to block endogenous peroxidase activity. TFE3 (HPA023881, Sigma, USA), cathepsin K (ab19027, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), CD10 (ab227640, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), CA-IX (ab107257, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), Vimentin (ab8978, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), CD117(ab32363, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), CK7 (ab181598, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) antibody were incubated with tumor sections in a humidified chamber at 4°C overnight, then the anti-mouse or anti-rabbit peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (EnVision™ Detection Kit, DAKO, Denmark) were used with the sections at 37°C for 30 minutes.
The result was evaluated in a semiquantitative manner by multiplying the staining intensity (0 = no staining, 1 = mild staining, 2 =moderate staining, and 3 = strong staining) by the percentage of immunoreactive tumor cells (0–100). The final immunostaining result was calculated as following: negative (0), score <25; weak positive (1+), score 26–100; moderate positive (2+), score 101–200; strong positive (3+), score 201–300.

UOK146 cells (tRCC with a PRCC-TFE3 fusion) were fixed with 1% formaldehyde and subjected to ChIP as previously described 21 using an antibody against TFE3 (Sigma Aldrich, HPA023881). ChIP-seq data were mapped to the human genome (hg19) using the Bowtie algorithm, allowing up to two mismatches. Reads mapped to more than 20 locations along the genome were discarded. ChIP-seq data generated using an IgG antibody were used as a control 22 . Peaks were identified using MACS2 with an FDR-adjusted P value cutoff of 0.05. Two biological replicates were generated 23 (link) .

To assess TFE3 nuclear translocation, wild-type RAW264.7 macrophages were left uninfected or infected with MOI = 50 of EHEC or ΔEhaF for 2 h, 3 h, or 4 h. Cells were washed 3 times with PBS, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X, and blocked with 10% goat serum prior to incubating with anti-TFE3 antibody (1:200 dilution, HPA023881, Sigma Aldrich) overnight. The cells were then stained with fluorescently labeled secondary antibody (CF®647 conjugated Anti-rabbit, 1:200 dilution, 20282, Biotium) followed by Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated Phalloidin (1:200 dilution, A12379, Invitrogen) (for plasma membrane), and DAPI (for nucleus) and visualized with Zeiss LSM 880 microscope.

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.
