Immunohistochemical Detection of Hedgehog Pathway

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Staining for SHH, IHH, PTCH1 and SMO was performed as follows: 4-μm sections from FFPE blocks were mounted onto microscope slides (Dako IHC Microscope Slides; Dako, Hamburg, Germany) and stored for 30 min in a humid chamber at 80 °C. Sections were dewaxed and heated in a target retrieval solution (EnVision FLEX; Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) at either low pH (SHH, IHH) or high pH (SMO, PTCH) for 20 min. Blocking of nonspecific staining was accomplished with a commercial blocking agent (Dual Endogenous Enzyme Block S2003; Dako) for 5 min. For immunostaining, we used rabbit monoclonal antibodies against SHH (cat. no. ab53281), IHH (ab52919), SMO (ab72130) and PTCH1 (ab53715) (all Abcam Inc., Cambridge, MA, USA). The diluted antibodies were incubated at room temperature for either 30 min (SMO 1 : 500 and PTCH1 1 : 200) or 90 min (SHH 1 : 150 and IHH 1 : 250). The following steps of the immunohistochemistry procedures were performed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations for the system (Dako REAL Detection System K5005; Dako). Visualization of the antigens was achieved by a commercial stain (AP/Permanent Red; Abcam) with haematoxylin for counterstaining.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Carotid Arteries

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Carotid cross-sections were stained with rabbit polyclonal to
alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) (Abcam ab5694, 1:200); rabbit
polyclonal Gli-2 antibody (Novousbio NBP2-23602SS, 1:50); rabbit polyclonal
Ptch1 antibody (Abcam, ab53715, 1:100), followed by a goat-anti rabbit IgG
secondary Alexa Fluor 594® conjugate (Invitrogen Cat # A-11037).
Isotype control, and secondary antibody only control were performed. For antigen
retrieval, slides were brought to a boil in 10 mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0) then
maintained at a sub-boiling temperature for 10 minutes. Slides were cooled on
the bench-top for 30 minutes then washed in deionized water three times for 5
min each before being washed in PBS for 5 min. The antigen retrieval protocol
diminished endogenous eGFP transgene signal. Therefore, sections were co-stained
with anti-eGFP antibody (1:1000, Thermo Fisher) and donkey anti-mouse secondary
alexa fluor 488 (1:2000, Invitrogen). Numbers of Ptch1 or Gli2 expressing cells
in whole carotid cross sections from different experimental groups were analyzed
by Fiji ImageJ software. ‘Analyze particles’ function was used
to count total cells (DAPI stained, blue) and the number of
‘red’ cells per section.

Cells were seeded on coverslips in 24-well plates and grown to 80% confluence. Coverslips were washed twice with PBS, incubated 15 min with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA), and then 20 min with PBS/Triton 0.1% to permeabilize cells. After blocking 30 min in PBS/2% BSA, slices were incubated at 4 °C overnight with rabbit anti-Patched antibody (Abcam ab53715; 1/1000) in PBS/0.1% BSA. After three washes in PBS/0.1% BSA, slides were incubated at room temperature during 1 h with a secondary anti-rabbit antibody coupled to Alexa 594 in PBS/0.1% BSA and washed three times before mounting using antifade reagent containing DAPI (SlowFade Gold Invitrogen, Villebon sur Yvette, France) to stain nuclei. Images were acquired with a Zeiss Axioplan 2 fluorescence microscope coupled to a digital charge-coupled device camera using a 40×/1.3 Plan NeoFluar objective and filters for Alexa 594.

Immunohistochemical staining was performed on TMA and formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded tissues from PC‐3 cell line xenografts. Before staining, sections were dried for 1 hour at 60℃ and deparaffinized in xylene for 30 minutes, after which they were rehydrated by serial incubations in alcohol. Heat‐induced antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer at pH 6.0. Sections were subsequently blocked with goat serum and incubated with primary antibody [anti‐β2‐AR rabbit monoclonal antibody (ab182136; Abcam), anti‐Ki‐67 rabbit monoclonal antibody (9027; Cell Signaling), anti‐Shh rabbit monoclonal antibody (ab53281; Abcam), anti‐Gli1 rabbit polyclonal antibody (bs‐1206R; Bioss, China) or anti‐Ptch1 rabbit polyclonal antibody (ab53715; Abcam) overnight at 4°C (details were shown in Table 1), followed by Histostain‐SP (Streptavidin‐Peroxidase) kit reagent (SP0023; Beijing Biosynthesis Biotec, China), according to the manufacturer's instructions. The diaminobenzidine chromogen (ZSGB Biotec, China) was used for coloration. Slides were finally counterstained with hematoxylin. Negative controls were obtained after the omission of the primary antibody. Stained sections were examined and photographed on a bright‐field microscope (BX53; Olympus) connected to cellSens standard imaging software (Olympus).

The intensity of protein bands was quantified using ImageJ2 to calculate the ratios of IntDen (GLI3)/IntDen (β-Actin) to ensure that the detection of protein bands was linearized. The Student’s t-test was used for the statistical comparison of GLI3 protein relative quantification between patients and normal controls.

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.
