For western analysis, samples were mixed with the 5 × SDS sample buffer and boiled at 95 °C for 10 min. Samples were then separated by 10% SDS-PAGE gel (Mini-PROTEAN TGXTM Gels, Bio-Rad) and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat milk in TBST buffer (Intron), and probed with a primary antibody. After washing membranes with TBST four times, membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody in TBST with 5% nonfat milk. After washing, protein bands were visualized using the ECL system (Millipore).
Following antibody dilutions were used for western analysis: Hsp70 (SBI, rabbit), 1:1000~1500; TSG101 (SBI, rabbit), 1:1000; CD63 (SBI, rabbit), 1:1000; CD81 (SBI, rabbit), 1:500~1,000; CD81 (Santa Cruz, mouse), 1:200; HRP (SBI, rabbit or mouse), 1:10,000.

Isolation and Characterization of Tumor-Derived Exosomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumor cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 media supplemented with 10% exosome-depleted FBS (BI, Israel). Supernatant of tumor cells culture was collected 48 hours after cell reached 80% confluence. Then the supernatant was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 2 hours to remove cell debris, followed by 4000 rpm centrifuge for 30 min using 100 KDa MWCO to make the exosome-concentrated solution. The exosome was isolated by exosome quick extraction solution. The protein content of exosome was determined by BCA protein assay kit. The characterization of exosomes was confirmed by measuring expression of exosome-specific markers ALIX, HSP70, TSG101, CD81 and CD9 (SBI) by western blot analysis and Transmission Electron Microscopy (FEI spirit 120kV, USA). Exosomes were labeled with PKH67 membrane dye at 37°C for 5 minutes, and analyzed by confocal microscope (FV1000, Olympus). All the unspecified exosomes used in this study were from either TC-1 or MC38 tumor cells.

Total protein was extracted using the Total Protein Extraction Kit (SAB, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Protein concentration was quantified using a BCA protein assay (Beyotime). Sixty micrograms of total protein were separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to 0.22 µm polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes at 200 mA for 1 h. The membranes were blocked with 10% albumin bovine (BSA, Biofroxx, Germany) for 1 h at room temperature. The blots were probed with primary antibodies for 24 h at 4 °C and further incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. These primary antibodies included CD63 (System Biosciences, 1:1000), TSG101 (System Biosciences, 1:1000), ADM (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA, 1:1000), VEGFA (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:1000), and NDRG1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:1000). The supernatant of RP-Exos extract was used as a negative control for exosome characterization.

Cell or exosome lysates obtained with RIPA lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were centrifuged at 13 200 rpm and 4°C for 15 minutes, and were quantified by the BCA method. Proteins were run on a SDS‐PAGE gel according to a standard protocol and were transferred onto a PVDF membrane (Merck Millipore). The PVDF membrane was blocked with 5% skim milk, and was sequentially incubated with the primary and the second antibodies. The following antibodies were used according to the manufacturer's instructions: CD63 (CST), CD9 (CST), TSG101 (System Biosciences), EGFR (CST), Cyclin E (CST), and β‐actin (Sigma‐Aldrich Co). Protein bands on PVDF membrane were detected using the Chemiluminescent Substrate System (Thermo Fisher Scientific). β‐actin was used as the internal control.

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.
