Immunohistochemical staining was performed as described previously [23 (link)]. Briefly, the deparaffinized tissue sections were heated for antigen retrieval, quenched for endogenous peroxidase activity and blocked with goat serum; the primary antibodies against Drosha (1:150; Abcam), anti-ABHD16A (BAT5) (1:200; GeneTex), anti-GPR34 (1:150; Abcam), anti-HIF1A (1:150; Abcam), anti-RhoA (1:150; Proteintech), anti-p-LIMK1 (1:150; Abcam), anti-p-cofilin (1:150; Abcam), and secondary antibody (1:100; ZSBIO, Beijing, China) were used. After staining with diaminobenzidine and hematoxylin, the images were captured.
Immunoreactivity was evaluated independently by two researchers who were blinded to patient outcome. Scoring criteria for staining intensity were as follows: 0 (negative), 1 (weak), 2 (moderate), 3 (strong). The staining extent score was as follows: 0 (<10%), 1 (11–25%), 2 (26–50%), 3 (51–75%), and 4 (76–100%). The final expression score, ranging from 0 to 12, was calculated as intensity scorexextent score. Total scores of 4 or lower were categorized as the low expression group, and the rest as the high expression group.

Protein extracts from cells were prepared using 2% SDS lysis buffer including protein phosphatase inhibitor (Thermo Scientific™, #78,440). Total protein (20 μg) was subjected to 10% (v/v) SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to nitrocellulose filter membrane (Pall, #P-N66485). After blocking with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 2 h at 37 ℃, the membranes of proteins with different molecular weight (KDa) were cut according to the location of the markers (GenStar, M222) with enough spaces left at the edges of the first and the last sample lanes, then the cropped membranes were incubated with primary antibodies at 4℃ overnight.

The RhoA activity assays were performed according to the manufacturer's protocol (Upstate Cell Signaling Solutions, Lake Placid, NY). Active Rho (Rho-GTP) was isolated with a GST fusion protein containing the RhoA binding domain of rhotekin (GST-rhotekin RBD). The cells were washed with ice-cold PBS and lysed on ice in cell lysis buffer. Following determining the protein concentrations using the method of Bradford, 250 µg total protein per sample were incubated with GST-rhotekin RBD immobilized on glutathione-Sepharose 4B beads (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) at 4°C for 60 min. The beads were pelleted and washed three times with lysis buffer. Bound GTP-RhoA was eluted from the beads with SDS gel sample buffer, boiled for 5 min and separated by 12% SDS-PAGE. The active Rho proteins were detected by immunoblotting using anti-RhoA (ProteinTech Group, Inc.) antibody. Signals were quantified using ImageJ software 2× (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

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.
