Cells were treated with DMSO, TMZ (100 μM), ABT-888 (100 μM), or the combination of TMZ (100 μM) and ABT-888 (100 μM) and harvested at various time points. Whole cells were lysed in standard NP-40 lysis buffer (Life Technologies) with 1X protease inhibitors tablet, 0.1 mM NaVO3, 1 mM DTT, and 1 μM PMSF (Roche Applied Science). Samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis using standard protocols transferring 30 μg of protein onto a PVDF membrane (Millipore), followed by blocking with 10% nonfat milk powder for 30 min and overnight incubation at 4°C with either anti-MSH6 (Cat# 610918, BD Biosciences), anti-actin (Cat# MAB1501R Millipore), phospho-CHK1 (Ser 317, Cat# 12302S, Cell Signaling Technologies), CHK1 (Cat# 2360S, Cell Signaling Technologies) phospho-histone H2A.X (Ser 139, 80312S, Cell Signaling Technologies), or H2A.X (Cat# 2595S, Cell Signaling Technology) occording to manufacturer’s specifications. Membranes were incubated with appropriate secondary antibody for 1 h followed by enhanced chemiluminescence visualization and substrate detection (Thermo Scientific).

Evaluating Mismatch Repair Deficiency

We used the presence of MSI to assess the loss of function of mismatch repair gene activity. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and/or Multiplex polymerase chain reaction method was used to evaluate the status of MSI. We conducted IHC analysis of MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and MLH1 proteins with formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor samples. After the tumor area adjacent to normal mucosa and/or lymphocytic infiltration was marked, 4 mm of paraffinized tissue was removed, and multiple tissue blocks were prepared. Finally, 4-µm thick sections were obtained for IHC following standard protocols. The mouse monoclonal antibodies used were anti-MSH2, anti-MSH6, anti-MLH1, and anti-PMS2 (BD Pharmingen). Tumors showing a proportion of stained nuclei higher than 10% were classified as staining positive; all others were regarded as negative (Figure 1).
MSI test was performed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction and analysis with a 3130×1 genetic analyzer. MSI testing of DNA samples was based on five dinucleotide markers (NR27, NR21, BAT26, BAT25, and NR24). Tumors that showed instability in ≥2/5 of markers tested were classified as a high MSI and 1/5 of markers were classified as low MSI. Tumors that showed instability in 0/5 of markers were designated as microsatellite stable (MSS) cancers. Only high MSI cases were considered MSI positive.

Immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and MLH1 proteins was performed as previously described [16 (link), 19 (link), 20 (link)]. Briefly, after the tumor area adjacent to normal mucosa and/or lymphocytic infiltration had been marked, the paraffinized tissue was removed and multiple tissue blocks were prepared. Finally, 4 μm-thick sections were obtained for IHC following standard protocols. The mouse monoclonal antibodies used were anti-MSH2, anti-MSH6, anti-MLH1, and anti-PMS2 (BD Pharmingen, CA, USA).

Adjacent normal tissues from each sample served as positive controls (Figure 1).

All coimmunoprecipitation and immunoprecipitation experiments were performed as previously described using 1000 μg of lysate in Cell Lytic M (Sigma Aldrich, Oakville, Ontario, Canada).4 (link) No-antibody controls were included, although not always shown. Biotin-based protein purification was performed as previously described using 500 μg of lysate in RIPA buffer.18 (link) These experiments were repeated at least three times. The following antibodies were used: anti-MSH2 (EMD, Billerica, MA, USA, IP/co-IP, catalog number NA27), anti-MSH6 (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA, catalog number 610919), anti-MSH2, anti-phospho-tyrosine, anti-ALK, anti-total caspase 3 (Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA, USA, catalog numbers 2017, 9416, 3633 and 14220, respectively) and anti-β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA; sc-47778).

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.
