Antibodies against Gli1 (sc-20687; SANTA CRUZ, Dallas, TX, USA), Gli2 (sc-271786; SANTA CRUZ), Smoothened (SMO; ab72130; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), and β-Actin (sc-47778; SANTA CRUZ) were detected with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) using an Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate Kit (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) and luminescence imaging on an Image Quant LAS 4000 mini. Bands were measured using Multi-Gauge 3.0 software, and the relative density was calculated based on the density of the β-actin bands in each sample. Values are expressed as arbitrary densitometric units corresponding to signal intensity.

RIPA containing PMSF and phosphotransferase inhibitors (Beyotime Technology, Jiangsu, China) was used for protein extraction. Protein concentration was measured using a BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology). Equivalent protein concentrations were separated using SDS‐PAGE (12. 5%) and transferred onto PVDF membranes, which were subsequently blocked with 5% nonfat milk and incubated with relevant primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. Horseradish peroxidase‐conjugated secondary antibodies were used to detect primary antibodies. The ECL detection system (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) was used to image protein bands. Primary antibodies included anti‐β‐actin (1:1,000, ab8226, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), anti‐Shh (1:1,000,ab53281,Abcam), anti‐Gli‐1 (1:1,000, ab134906, Abcam), anti‐Ptch1 (1:500, ab53715, Abcam), and anti‐Smo (1:1,000, ab72130, Abcam).

The bands were cut according to the protein size region of interest before intubating with antibodies and then imaged with an Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate Kit (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Uncropped images of the blot images are presented as additional data (Supple Figs. 10, 11). Bands relative density was calculated based on the density of α-tubulin and actin bands in each sample. Values were demonstrated as arbitrary densitometric units corresponding to signal intensity.

Immunohistochemical Characterization of DLBCL

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used a tissue microarray (TMA) with reactive lymph nodes and DLBCL tumors (n=60) collected from formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded archival tumor specimens. Tissue specimens were collected from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami as approved by the institutional review board committee. The study was conducted in accordance with the declaration of Helsinki. According to the expression of CD10, BCL-6, and MUM-1 (30% cutoff), cases were classified as either GC or non-GC (ABC) type using the Hans algorithm [28 (link)]. Immunohistochemistry studies were performed as described previously [29 (link)] using prediluted primary antibodies for CD10, BCL-6, MUM-1 (Leica Biosystems, IL) and SMO (ab72130; 1:2000; Abcam, MA).

Proteins were extracted from the kidneys. Equal amounts of protein were subjected to SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes. The membranes were incubated with anti-SMO (1:10000, ab72130) and anti-GLIS1 (1:1000, ab105873) primary antibodies from Abcam (Abcam Inc., Cambridge, MA). Anti-α-tubulin (1:10000, T5168) from Sigma (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO) was used as control. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:5000, #7074S) from Cell Signaling Technology (Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Danvers, MA) and goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (1:10000, G21040) from Invitrogen (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) were used for detection. Protein bands were visualized using ECL Western blot detection reagents (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway, NJ).

Following experimental treatments, notochordal-NP cells were placed on ice and washed with ice-cold PBS. All buffers included 1X-protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche), NaF (4mM) and Na3VO4 (20mM), NaCl (150mM), β-glycerophosphate (50mM), and DTT (0.2mM). Protein was resolved on 8-10% SDS-polyacrylamide gels and transferred by electroblotting to activated PVDF membranes (Bio-Rad, CA). Membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk in TBST (50 mM Tris, pH 7.6, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% tween 20) and incubated overnight at 4°C in 3% non-fat dry milk in TBST with anti-Shh (1:1000, Novus, NBP2-22139), Ptch1 (1:500; R&D, MAB41051), Smo (1:1000; Abcam, ab72130), and Gli1 (1:500; Abcam, 151796). Immunolabeling was detected using ECL reagent (Amersham Biosciences). Relative expression levels were determined by quantitative densitometric analysis using 1D image analysis software (Quantity One, BIO-RAD).

The total protein was extracted according to the kit. Fifty micrograms of sample were loaded onto sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gels, separated using electrophoresis, and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes using standard procedures. After blocking with 5% skim milk and washing for 30 min with Tris buffered saline Tween (TBST), the PVDF membrane was immunoblotted with Smo antibody (1:1,000 dilution; ab72130; Abcam), Gli1 antibody (1:1,000 dilution; ab1515796; Abcam), VEGF antibody (1:500 dilution; sc7269; Santa Cruz), and β-actin antibody (1:2,000 dilution; Proteintech, Rosemont, IL, USA) overnight at 4°C.

We used a biotin-streptavidin HRP detection system (SP-9000; Beijing Zhongshan Jinqiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Beijing, People’s Republic of China) to perform immunohistochemistry. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded eye tissue sections (3.5 μm thick) were placed on slides, deparaffinized in xylene, and rehydrated by incubation in graded ethanol baths in PBS. Endogenous peroxidase was blocked with hydrogen peroxide. The sections were then treated with goat serum for 30 min and incubated overnight with the following antibodies: rabbit anti-Smo polyclonal antibody (1:50 dilution; ab72130; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), rabbit anti-Gli1 polyclonal antibody (1:50 dilution; sc-20687; Santa, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), mouse anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody (1:100 dilution; sc-7269; Santa, USA) at 4°C. Subsequently, they were incubated with Biotin-labeled goat anti-rabbit/mouse IgG secondary antibodies (SP-9000; Zhongshan Jinqiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Beijing, People’s Republic of China) for 15 min at room temperature. The primary antibody was replaced with PBS for the negative controls, and 3,3′-diaminobenzidine was used as the chromogen. The images were observed and captured using an Olympus B201 optical microscope (Olympus, 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.
