All sections were incubated with anti-DcR2 antibody followed by Alexa-555 conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody (ab150078; Abcam), FLIP (ab8421; Abcam), Bcl2 (ab182858; Abcam), and caspase 3 (ab184787; Abcam) followed by Alexa-647 conjugated monkey anti-goat antibody (ab150135; Abcam); α-SMA, collagen IV, GRP78, fibronectin (ab6328; Abcam), p16 (ab54210; Abcam), p21 (2947 S, Celling Signaling), cyclin D1 (ab16663; Abcam), IL-6 (bs-4587MM, Bioss, China), and TGF-β1 (ab179615; Abcam) incubated with Alexa-488 conjugated goat anti-mouse antibody (ab150117; Abcam) at 37 °C for 1 h and co-stained with DAPI (C1006; Biyuntian Biotechnology, China). In addition, renal sections from STZ-DN mice were incubated with the TUNEL fluorescein kit (Biyuntian Biotechnology) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Images were obtained via confocal microscopy (Leica, Germany) and analyzed using Image J software (version 1.37; NIH, Bethesda, USA).

Western blot analysis was performed on renal lysates or cell extracts using the following primary antibodies: anti-DcR2 (ab108421; Abcam), anti-FLIP (ab8421; Abcam), anti-cleaved caspase 3 (ab214430; Abcam), anti-caspase 8 (ab25901; Abcam), caspase 3 (ab184787; Abcam), anti-caspase 7 (ab255818; Abcam), anti-cleaved caspase 7 (ab256469; Abcam), Akt (sc5298, Santa Cruz), pAkt (sc135650, Santa Cruz), and anti-GAPDH (BM3876; Boster). The intensity of each band was analyzed using Quantity One software (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

Western Blot Analysis of EMT Markers

After lysed in the protease inhibitors contained RIPA buffer (Sigma-Aldrich), total proteins of OS cells were isolated by high-speed centrifuge at 12,000 g/min. BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher) was applied to determine the concentration of extracted proteins, and then 50 μg protein samples were loaded into and isolated by 10% SDS-PAGE (80 V, 30 min and 120 V, 45 min). Next, the isolated proteins were transferred into 0.45-μm polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Millipore, Bedford, MA; 100 V, 60 min) followed by the incubation of 5% skimmed milk for 2 h. The membranes were incubated overnight with primary antibodies that against c-FLIP (cellular FLICE inhibitory protein, 1:800, ab8421, Abcam, UK), E-cadherin (1:500, ab15148, Abcam, UK), N-cadherin (1:1000, ab76057, Abcam, UK), Vimentin (1:2000, ab137321, Abcam, UK), Snail (1:1000, ab180714, Abcam, UK) and GAPDH (1:10,000, ab181602, Abcam, UK). GAPDH was loaded as an internal reference. After removing the excessive primary antibodies, the membranes were subjected for incubation of horseradish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibodies (IgG-HRP, Abcam, 1:2000, UK) for 2 h, and bands were detected by an enhanced chemiluminescent reagent (ECL, Germany). And the relative protein expression level was quantified using the Image J software.

Histological Analysis of Xenograft Tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For histological analysis, xenograft tumors were fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin for 24 h. Sections (4 µm thick) of the paraffin-embedded tumors were mounted onto glass slides. The sections were incubated at 60 °C for 1 h, deparaffinized in xylene, and rehydrated through a graded alcohol series. The sections were incubated with anti-cleaved caspase 3 (9661 s, CST), anti-cleaved caspase 8 (9496 s, CST), anti-Ki67 (ab16667, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and anti-cFLIP (ab8421, Abcam) antibodies overnight at 4 °C, and color was then developed using the Dako Real™ EnVision™ detection system peroxidase/DAB kit (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). One set of tissue sections was stained with hematoxylin and eosin according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The sections were counterstained with hematoxylin and evaluated by light microscopy (OLYMPUS-cell Sens Standard).

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.
