Cd133
CD133 is a cell surface glycoprotein that is commonly used as a marker for stem and progenitor cells. It is expressed on the surface of various cell types, including hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and certain types of cancer stem cells. CD133 plays a role in cell adhesion and signaling processes, and its expression can be used to identify and isolate these cell populations for research and clinical applications.

agglutinin-1 (UEA-1, 5 μg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA). EPCs stained with
DiI-acetyl-LDL (absorption wavelength: 555 nm) and UEA-1 (absorption wavelength: 495 nm)
were identified using a confocal microscope. These EPCs were also stained with vascular
endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), CD34, and CD133
(Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, California, USA), as described in a previous study17 (link),19 (link). Furthermore, in order to characterize the subtype of EPCs, cells with antibodies
against FITC-CD14 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and PE-CD45 (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA)
were analyzed using a flow cytometer. CD14-/CD45- cells were
considered as advanced EPCs (endothelial colony-forming cells), while
CD14+/CD45+ cells were considered as early EPCs20 (link).

Immunoblotting Analysis of Signaling Pathways
indicated drugs, cells were washed with cold PBS and lysed in buffer containing 20 mM
Tris pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 100 mM MgCl2, 1% Nonidet P-40 and 10% glycerol
supplemented with HALT protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Fisher
Scientific) using a Q800R sonicator (Qsonica, Newtown, CT). Lysates were centrifuged
at 16,000×g for 5 min at 4°C. Protein concentrations
were determined by BCA assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Proteins were resolved by
SDS-PAGE and transferred to a polyvinylidenes difluoride membranes (Biorad) using the
Transblot Turbo Transfer System (Biorad, Hercules, CA). Immunoblotting was performed
per each antibody manufacturer's specifications. Antibodies used were pEGFR
(Y1068), EGFR, pAKT (S473), AKT, pERK (T202/Y204), ERK, cleaved PARP, cleaved
caspase-3, SOX2, BIM, phospho-FOXO1 (T24)/FoxO3a (T32), FOXO1, FOXO3 (Cell Signaling
Technology, Beverly, MA), GAPDH (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA), Ki67 (Epitomics,
Burlingame, CA), phospho-FOXO6 (S184) (Abcam, Cambridge, MA), FOXO6 (Proteintech,
Chicago, IL), CD133, GKLF, OCT4, MYC (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX), CD44 and CD24 (BD
Biosciences, San Jose, CA), and TY1 (Diagenode, Denville, NJ).

For immunohistochemistry, tumors were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution and then dehydrated, sealed in wax, and cut. Cut tissue sections were stained with the primary antibodies as described previously 14 (link)
To determine the stromal cell types isolated from the peripheral zone (PZ) and transitional zone (TZ), the cells were stained with primary antibodies against vimentin (a marker for mesenchymal cells, especially fibroblasts) (Epitomics, Burlingame, CA), α-SMA (a marker for smooth muscle cells and myofibroblasts) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), smoothlin (a marker for smooth muscle cells) (Santa Cruz Biotech, Santa Cruz, CA), and cytokeratin 18 (CK18) (a marker for peripheral cells) ( Abcam, Cambridge,UK) as described previously 14 (link). CK18 was expressed in all four cell types and used to monitor the efficiency of the isolation and purification procedure.

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.
