Probing YAP Promoter Binding by EMSA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was performed as previously published.18 Nuclear extracts were prepared using NE‐PER™ Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction Kit (78835, Thermo Fish Scientific), following standard procedures. Briefly, cells were harvested using trypsin‐EDTA and centrifuged at 500 g for 5 minutes. Ice‐cold CER I was added to cell pellet and vortexed vigorously to fully suspend prior to addition of CER II. Then, the tube was vortexed for 5 seconds vigorously and centrifuged for 5 minutes at 16 000 g. Lastly, supernatant (cytoplasmic extract) was removed and ice‐cold NER was added to lyse nuclear pellet to obtain nuclear protein. DNA probes representing fragments of the YAP promoter were synthesized and 5′ end‐labelled with DyLight 800. In addition, control non‐labelled DNA probes were used as competitors. The extracted proteins were pre‐incubated with progesterone receptor antibody (ab2765, Abcam) or IgG before being incubated with labelled probe (50 nmol/L) or control non‐labelled DNA probes at 200‐fold molar excess. Then, the protein‐bound and free DNAs were separated on 6% polyacrylamide gel in the dark. The bands in the gels were visualized using Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (Li‐COR Biosciences). The sequence of the DNA probe was 5′‐AACTATTTTTTGTTCTGTACCTCATGACTT‐3′.

All samples were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde overnight at 4°C and then dehydrated in different concentrations of ethanol. Immunohistochemistry staining and analytical methods were performed according to the protocol of the UltraSensitiveTM SP(Mouse/Rabbit)immunohistochemistry (IHC) kit (Maxim). Anti‐OCT4 (1:1000; Abcam, ab181557), ISL‐1 (1:200; Abcam, ab178400), ERα (1:200; Abcam, ab108398), PR (1:200; Abcam, ab2765), HER2 (1:200; Abcam, ab16662) and Ki67 (1:200; Abcam, ab15580) antibodies were used in the experiments.

IHC Analysis of KLF9 and PR in EC Tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fifty-two EC tumor samples were immunostained with KLF9 and PR antibodies. The IHC procedure and scoring of protein expression were performed as previously described (21 (link)). Tissue microarray sections were incubated with primary polyclonal rabbit anti-KLF9 antibody (ab26074, Abcam) and monoclonal mouse anti-PR antibody (ab2765, Abcam) overnight at 4 °C, followed by incubation with biotinylated anti-rabbit and anti-mouse secondary antibody at 37 °C for 30 min respectively. Sections were then incubated with a streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase complex, colorized with 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) chromogen solution and counterstained with hematoxylin. Results were analyzed as previously described. Briefly, the percentage of KLF9 and PR positive cells was scored as follow: 0 for 0%, 1 for 1–33%, 2 for 34–66% and 3 for 67–100%. The intensity of KLF9 and PR staining was also scored as follows: 0 for negative staining, 1 for yellow color staining, 2 for light brown color staining and 3 for brown color staining. The product of the staining intensity and percentage gave rise to the IHC score (IHS). The final results of IHC analysis were defined using a two level system following the IHS: <4 indicates low expression, while 4–12 indicates high expression. Negative controls were employed by replacement of the primary antibody with PBS.

Heterogeneous SF-SCs were isolated from the femurs of a 6–8-week-old sheep fetus (obtained at the local abattoir) by flushing with L-15 medium supplemented with Anti-Anti (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Cells were then expanded in vitro and verified for multipotency according to differentiation methods for chondrogenesis61 (link), osteogenesis62 (link), and myogenesis63 (link). Differentiated and undifferentiated SF-SCs were fixed in 4% buffered formaldehyde and stained with a wide range of primary antibodies (1 h at room temperature) from Abcam (Amsterdam, Netherlands), including α-SMA (ab32575; 1:500), vimentin (ab8798; 1:100), CD166 (ab235957; 1:200), Ki67 (ab15580; 1:300), estrogen receptor-α (ER-α; ab66102; 1:100), ER-β (ab187291; 1:100), progesterone receptor (PR; ab2765; 1:100), cytokeratin (ab9377; 1:1000), MyoD1 (ab16148, 1:100), RANK (ab13918, 1:100), and DMP1 (ab103203, 1:100). Each primary antibody was conjugated with either CY3 or Alexa Fluor 488 secondary antibodies (Thermo Fisher; 1:300) and DNA was labeled with DAPI. Chondrogenesis was evaluated after alcian blue staining using standard methods.

The tissue sections or adherent cells were washed with PBS after treatment, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS. The samples were incubated with primary antibodies targeting γ-H2AX ( ab81299, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; 1:200), SCD1 (ab19862, Abcam; 1:200), Ki67 (ab16667, Abcam; 1:500), GPX4 (ab125066, Abcam; 1:200), and PR (ab2765, Abcam; 1:200), respectively, overnight at 4 °C. IF was followed by incubation with fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies (A11034, Invitrogen, Eugene, OR, USA; 1:1,000) in the dark for 1 h. Then, counterstaining was performed with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Cell slides were analyzed by laser scanning confocal microscopy. IHC incubated with enhanced enzyme-labeled goat anti-mouse/rabbit immunoglobulin G (AWS0003a/AWS0002a, Abiowell; 1:1,000) at room temperature for 20 min, with subsequent staining with the DAB (3,3′-diaminobenzidine) kit (CWO125M, CWBIO).

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.
