HGFs were immersed in acetone and washed with PBS. Then, HGFs were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at 4°C overnight and washed with PBS three times. The following primary antibodies were used for cell incubation at 37°C for 2 h: Vimentin (1:100; ZM-0260; Beijing Zhongshan Golden Bridge Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) and S100A4 (1:100; ZA-0257; Beijing Zhongshan Golden Bridge Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). H2O2 (3%) was added to blocking protease for 20 min at room temperature and then 30 µl sheep serum blocking buffer (ZC-02125; Beijing Zhongshan Golden Bridge Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was added for 1 h at room temperature. Following three washes with PBS, the cells were incubated with the following secondary antibodies at 37°C for 1 h: Fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG; 1:100, ZF-0312; Beijing Zhongshan Golden Bridge Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) and rhodamine-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:100; ZF-0316; Beijing Zhongshan Golden Bridge Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). Cell nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole for 10 min at room temperature. Finally, the cells were photographed under a laser confocal microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).

Evaluating LLGL2 Expression in HCC Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human HCC tissue microarrays (TMA) slides consisted of 156 pairs of primary tumor tissues and ANLT specimens. The immunohistochemical-staining assay for LLGL2(1:50), Vimentin(1:100), E-cadherin(1:100) was conducted using a 2-step detection kit (Zhongshan Golden Bridge Biotechnology, Beijing, China).Antibody Vimentin and E-cadherin purchased from HuaAn Biotechnology (Huaan, Hangzhou, China). We evaluated LLGL2 expression with an inverted microscope (Olympus, Japan). The levels of LLGL2 expression were scored on the basis of the percentage of the positively stained tumor cells. The grading score were; 4 indicates >80% positive, 3 indicates 51-80% positive, 2 indicates 31-50% positive, 1 indicates 5-30% positive, and 0 indicates ≤5% positive. The level of LLGL2 protein expression was classified into a high expression group (2 - 4) and a low expression group (0 - 1) for downstream analyses (33 (link)).

IF staining was performed on 14 PDR membranes, which are seven samples from IVB treatment group, and seven samples from non-treatment group in 10 μm thick frozen sections. We used antibodies against the following antigens: TGFβ2 (1:200 dilution, ab113670, Abcam, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA), CTGF (1:200 dilution, ab66218, Abcam), CNTF (1:200 dilution, ab66218, Abcam), VEGF (1:200 dilution, ab1316, Abcam) and vimentin (1:150 dilution, Zhongshan Golden Bridge Biotechnology, Beijing, China). Samples were counterstained with DAPI (1:1000 dilution, D9542, Sigma-Aldrich, USA). Sections were examined and photographed using a fluorescence microscope (DS-Ril-U2, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
