For indirect immunofluorescence analysis, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.2% Triton-X100 and incubated with the following primary antibodies: mouse monoclonal α-YAP (SC-101199, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, inc.; 1:50); mouse monoclonal α-Snail (L70G2, Cell Signaling Technology; 1:50); rabbit monoclonal α-Vimentin (ab92547, Abcam, Cambridge, UK; 1:400); mouse monoclonal α-E-cadherin (BD 610182, BD Biosciences Pharmingen, Palo Alto, CA, USA; 1:50); mouse monoclonal α-STAT3 (124H6, Cell Signaling; 1:50). Secondary antibodies: α-mouse Alexa-Fluor 594 and α-rabbit Alexa-Fluor 488 (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA; 1:400). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (Calbiochem Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Preparations were examined under Nikon Eclipse fluorescent microscope equipped with a CCD camera (Nikon Inc.). Digital images were acquired by Nikon NIS elements software (Nikon Corporation) and processed with Adobe Photoshop 7 software (Adobe Systems, Mountain View, CA). The same enhanced color levels were applied for all channels.

Lysates from cells lysed in cold RIPA buffer supplemented with protease inhibitors were subjected to standard Western Blot protocols (8 (link)). The primary antibodies were α-GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; 1:10,000), α-E-cadherin (1:1,000), α-ST6GALNAC5 (1:1,000), and α-Vimentin (1:10,000) from Abcam and α-B3GLCT (B3GALTL, 1:1,000) and α-ST3GAL5 (1:1,000) from Novus Biologicals. Secondary antibodies [α-mouse-HRP (GAPDH) or α-rabbit-HRP (all others) (Bio-Rad)] were used at 1:5,000. Blots were developed using SuperSignal West Pico (Thermo Scientific).

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.
