The contralesional cortices washed with PBS was lysed with RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP40, 0.25% Na-deoxycholate, and 0.1% SDS) containing a protease inhibitor mixture and phosphatase inhibitors (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). (BDNF, tPA, furin: Santa Cruz (R)) was added to SDS-PAGE and electroporated into Polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. Thirty micrograms of soluble protein were subjected to SDS–PAGE and electrotransferred onto a PVDF membrane. Specific protein bands were detected using specific antibodies (BDNF, tPA, furin: Santa Cruz biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA, and β-actin: Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and enhanced chemiluminescence (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA) [55 (link)].

Histological Analysis of COVID-19 Receptor Proteins

Formalin‐fixed and paraffin‐embedded lung tissue samples were cut into 2.5‐μm thick serial sections for histological analysis. Sections were deparaffinized in ROTICLEAR® (Carl Roth, Arlesheim, Switzerland), followed by decreasing concentrations of ethanol. Antigen retrieval was performed using citrate buffer (pH 9) in a 95 °C hot water bath for 20 min. Following blocking with 3% BSA in PBS for 1 h, sections were incubated with antibodies to ACE2 (1:100, #HPA000288; Sigma Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA), TMPRSS2 (1:800, #bs‐6285R; Biossusa, Woburn, MA, USA), Ezrin (1:100, #3145S; Cell Signaling Technology, Boston, MA, USA), Furin (1:100, #sc‐133 142; Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA), or CD147 (1:100, #AF972; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) at 4 °C overnight. The primary antibodies were detected with the immPRESS anti‐rabbit, anti‐goat, or anti‐mouse polymer detection kit using NovaRed peroxidase (HRP) substrate (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Hemalaun was used for nuclear counterstaining. Images were obtained using an Olympus VS120 slide scanning microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) at ×40 magnification.

Ovarian cancer cell line OVCAR5 cells were purchased from the National Cancer Institute’s cell line repository. SKOV3, cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA) and HeyA8 cells were received from the characterized cell line core at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Cells were cultured in DMEM media (GIBCO, Carlsbad, CA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (GIBCO). ID8 cells (a kind gift from Dr. Weiguo Cui) were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (GIBCO) supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% insulin (5 g/mL), 5 g/mL transferrin, 5 ng/mL sodium selenite (1X ITS; Sigma Cat. No. I3146). We obtained, ERBB2 (#2165), p-ERBB2 (Tyr1248)(#2247), ERBB3 (#12708), p-ERBB3 (Tyr1289), IGF1R-β (#3027), GAPDH (#5174), mesothelin (#99966S), TGF-β (#3711), STAT3 (#9139), p-STAT3 (Tyr705)(#9145), p-STAT3 (Ser727)(#34911), JAK1 (#3344S), p-JAK1(Tyr1034/1035) (#74129S), JAK2 (3230S), p-JAK2 (Tyr1008) (#8082S) TYK2 (#14193S) and p-TYK2 (Tyr1054/1055) (#68790S) from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA), Furin (#sc-133142) was obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. Recombinant Human Neuregulin β−1 (NRG1), was purchased from PeproTech, Cat# 100–03.

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.
