Cells were dissociated for 10 min using 1× TrypLE Express (Thermo Fisher) and washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 1% foetal bovine serum (FBS). For intracellular marker staining, cells were fixed, permeabilized with BD Cytofix/Cytoperm solution (BD Biosciences), and stained with 1 μg of anti-SOX17 (R&D Systems), anti-ALB (Dako), and anti-HNF4A (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies. For surface marker staining, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich) for 20 min at room temperature, washed with PBS containing 1% FBS and then incubated for 30 min at 4 °C with 1 μg of anti-CXCR4 (BD Biosciences) and anti-asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD FACSCalibur instrument (BD Biosciences).

ChIP: anti-H3K27ac (Abcam, ab4729), anti-H3K4me3 (Active Motif, #39159), anti-H3K4me1 (Abcam, ab8895), anti-H3K122Ac (Abcam ab33309), anti-MycN262 (Santa Cruz, sc-764), anti-RNAPol2 N20-X (Santa Cruz, sc-899), anti-YAP1 63.7 (Santa Cruz, sc-101199), anti-TEAD4 (Aviva Systems Biology, ARP38276), anti-BRD4 (Bethyl, A301-985A100), anti-HNF4a (Abcam, ab41898). Normal rabbit/mouse IgG (Santa Cruz, sc-2027) was used as background control. Please note that the anti-TEAD4 (Aviva Systems Biology, ARP38276) was reported to recognize also TEAD1 and TEAD3 (33 (link)). Western-Blot: anti-YAP1 63.7 (Santa Cruz, sc 101199) and anti-TEAD4 (Santa Cruz, sc-101184); anti-HNF4a (Abcam, ab199431), anti-total H3 (Abcam, ab1791); anti-vinculin clone H (SigmaAldrich, V9131); anti-TEAD1 (Cell Signalling, #8526). Goat anti-rabbit HRP (Biorad, #1706515) and Goat anti-mouse HRP (Biorad, #1706516) were used as secondary antibodies. Immunohistochemistry: anti-YAP1 (Cell Signalling, #4911), anti-Ki67 (Thermo Scientific, #9106), anti-Sox9 (Millipore, #5535), anti-HNF4a (Santa Cruz, sc-8987 and Abcam, ab41898).

Validation of NBCe1 and NBCe2 Antibodies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The antibody to NBCe1 (Sigma WH0008671M1) has been well validated in human renal tissue in our previous studies in the RPT [17 (link)]. The NBCe2 antibody (Sigma HPA036621) used previously [17 (link)] and in the current studies was characterized in the Human Protein Atlas (http://www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000188687-SLC4A5/tissue/kidney#imid_20081509). We further verified its specificity using confocal imaging with dual staining for hRPTC-specific marker CD-13 (BD 347837, 1:500 dilution) or HNF4A (goat polyclonal anti-HNF4A, Santa Cruz sc-6556, 1:500). This was performed in cultured primary and immortalized hRPTCs, including overexpressed cell lines or those stably transfected with NBCe2-specific siRNA to knockdown SLC4A5, the NBCe2 gene.

For hepatocyte differentiation, the collected hepatoblasts were plated on gelatin-coated (Sigma) 24-well dishes for 6 days. For cholangiocyte differentiation, the collected hepatoblasts were plated on Matrigel-coated (BD Bioscience) 24-well dishes for 10 days. Cells were cultured in DMEM/F12 (Gibco) medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1× ITS-X (Invitrogen), 1× Penicillin-Streptomycin (Gibco), 25 ng/mL hEGF, 25 ng/mL hHGF, and 40 ng/mL dexamethasone (Sigma). For immunostaining, cells were stained with anti-SOX9 (Millipore, ab5535, 1:200), anti-HNF4A (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-6556, 1:50), Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-goat IgG (Invitrogen, A11055, 1:1000), and Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen, A11008, 1:1000). DAPI (Sigma, D9564, 0.5 µg/mL) was used for nuclear staining. Images were acquired using an LSM 710 NLO and DuoScan System (Zeiss).

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.
