We lysed mouse tissues or cells in 2% SDS)buffer supplemented with phosphatase and protease inhibitors (Roche). We used a BCA assay (Pierce, Thermo Fisher) to test total protein concentration. As a measure of autophagic flow, Western blots for LC3 and p62 were performed in cells treated with the lysosomal inhibitor, leupeptin (Selleck;10 μM) for 12 h. We loaded 30 μg of protein to SDS-PAGE, and subsequently transferred the protein onto 0.22 μm PVDF membranes. We used 5% BSA to block membranes and then incubated the membranes with primary antibodies and respective secondary antibodies and subjected them to electrochemiluminescence.
The primary antibodies used in this experiment were: p-HSLser660 (1:1,000; CST, CST4139), total-HSL (1:1,000; CST, CST4107), HSP90 (1:1,000; Santa Cruz, sc7947), ATGL (1:1,000; CST, CST2138), SCD1 (1:1,000; CST, CST2794), p62 (1:1,000; MBL, PM045), LC3 (1:1,000; MBL, M186-3), FA desaturase-1 [FADS1 (delta-5-desaturase)] (1:1,000; Abcam, ab126706), FA desaturase-2 [FADS2 (delta-6-desaturase)] (1:1,000; Abcam, ab232898).

Western Blotting for Protein Analysis

Western blotting was performed as described previously (10 (link)). Briefly, to obtain total protein, cells or tissues were lysed with RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) containing phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride protease inhibitor (Beyotime). Protein concentration was measured using a detergent compatible Bradford protein assay kit (Beyotime). In total, 20 μg protein was loaded onto a 10% denaturing SDS-PAGE gel, and protein bands were then transferred to a 0.2-μm PVDF membrane (Merck Millipore, Germany). The membrane was blocked in 3% bovine serum albumin for 1 h, and FADS2 rabbit polyclonal antibody (Abcam, ab232898, 1:1000 dilution), E-cadherin rabbit polyclonal antibody (Proteintech, 20874-1-AP, 1:5000 dilution), N-cadherin rabbit polyclonal antibody (Proteintech, 66219-1-Ig, 1:5000 dilution), Snail rabbit polyclonal antibody (Proteintech, 13099-1-AP, 1:500 dilution), GAPDH rabbit polyclonal antibody (Proteintech, 10494-1-AP, 1:20000 dilution), or β-Actin rabbit polyclonal antibody (Abcam, ab8227, 1:5000 dilution) was added, followed by incubation at 4°C. After overnight incubation, the membrane was incubated with rabbit (Epizyme, LF102, 1:5,000 dilution) secondary antibody. Finally, the proteins bands were detected using the ECL system (Beyotime Biotechnology, China). This experiment was performed at least three times.

Protein from macrophages, THP-1 cells, FaDu cells, and tumor tissues were dissolved in radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Applygen, Beijing, China). Equal amounts of protein lysates were loaded onto a 10% SDS-PAGE gel for electrophoresis and transferred to a PVDF membrane. After blocking with 5% nonfat milk, the membranes were incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies against FADS1 (ab126706, Abcam, UK), FADS2 (ab232898, Abcam, UK), cyclin B1 (ab32053, Abcam, UK), CDK1 (ab210008, Abcam, UK), Bcl-2 (ab32124, Abcam, UK), and BAX (ab32503, Abcam, UK). The next day, the membranes were then incubated with secondary antibodies (dilution 1:5000) for 1 h at 25 °C. After washing three times with TBST for 10 min, the blots were visualized using a chemiluminescence western blotting system and quantified using ImageJ software (version 1.8.0, National Institutes of Health, USA).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Esophageal Lesions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemical staining was performed on formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded tissues in a tissue microarray format, using antibodies against DEGS1 (Abcam#ab167169), FADS1 (Abcam#ab236672), FADS2 (Abcam#ab232898) and Nrf2 (Abcam#ab137550). Staining details are provided in Supporting Information. Staining intensities in GC, NSE, BE, LGD, HGD, and intraepithelial carcinoma (IEC) were scored by a specialist gastrointestinal pathologist. The phenotype was determined on the basis of H&E‐stained sections, according to the standard diagnostic procedure. Phenotypes occasionally changed between sequential sections, such that slightly different numbers exist for each analysis. Scoring was based on the phenotype in the region of interest: for example, NSE refers to only the normal squamous epithelium in the section: this is in contrast to the omics data which use the whole biopsy, where normal esophageal tissue may include stroma, submucosal glands, as well as epithelium. Each component, if present in the tissue, was scored separately using a 4‐grade assessment of intensity (0 no staining, 1+ weak staining, 2+ moderate staining, 3+ strong staining). Where the staining was non‐uniform in a component, the maximum intensity of staining was used for the score, providing at least 10% of the cells of that component stained to this intensity.

Immunofluorescence Analysis of FADS Enzymes

Media were aspirated and cells rinsed twice in 100 μl PBS, fixed and permeabilized in 70% acetone and 30%methanol at −20 °C for 10 min, air-dried, and incubated in blocking solution (10% Normal Donkey Serum in PBS) for 1 h at room temperature. Primary antibodies against FADS1 (ab126706), FADS2 (ab232898)) and FADS5 (ab39969) were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA). Antibodies against the specific proteins, and respective isotype controls, were applied at concentrations of 4 μg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Antispecies anti-rabbit secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa Fluor 555 were purchased from Molecular Probes and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Slides were washed three times for 10 min each in PBS to eliminate excess antibody, and secondary antibodies were applied at a 1:100 dilution, for 1 h at room temperature. Confocal images were collected using a Zeiss Observer.Z1 inverted microscope equipped with Semrock wheel filters with ec/em spectra for the Alexa Fluor probes used. Images were acquired and analyzed using Slidebook 6.0 (Intelligent Imaging Innovations, Denver, CO).

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.
