Anti n cadherin

Paraffin-embedded colon sections were dewaxed, rehydrated, and pre-treated with hydrogen peroxidase in PBS buffer. Heat-induced antigen retrieval was performed. After blocking with the appropriate antisera in blocking buffer, sections were incubated with anti-Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) (Thermo scientific, clone PC10, 1:300 dilution), anti-β-catenin (Cell Signaling Technology, CST, clone 6B3, 1:100 dilution), anti-p53 (Leica-microsystems, clone CM5, 1:100 dilution), or anti-COX-2 (Thermo scientific, 1:100 dilution), anti-E-cadherin (CST, clone 24E10, 1:200 dilution), anti-N-cadherin (Millipore, clone EPR1792Y, 1:50 dilution), anti-Fibronectin (Epitomics, clone F14, 1:200 dilution) and anti-Vimentin (CST, clone D21H3, 1:50 dilution). After incubation with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody and tyramide amplification followed by streptavidin-HRP, positive signals were visualized by DAB kit , and counter-stained with hematoxylin. Double staining of CD11b⁺Ly6g⁺ cells was carried out using Polink RRt DouSP kit (ZSGB-BIO ORIGENE, China). CD11b (abcam, clone EPR1344, 1:100 dilution), Ly6g (abcam, clone RB6-8C5, 1:20 dilution). Five randomly selected fields from each section were examined at a magnification of 400× and analyzed using NIS-Elements. The positive content was calculated using the following formula: positive content (PC) = mean optical density × positive area.

The protein lysates of A549 and EML4-ALK fusion-A549 Isogenic cell were collected in a radioimmunoprecipitation lysis (RIPA) buffer with a protease inhibitor (Millipore) and the protein concentration was determined with a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). Each protein was incubated with a primary antibody, including anti-GAPDH (1:5000, cat. no. MAB374; Millipore), anti- N-cadherin (1:1000, cat. no. 610920), anti-E-cadherin (1:1000, cat. no. 610182), anti-Vimentin (1:1000, cat. no.550513) BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), anti-Snail (1:1000, cat. no. #3879, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), and anti-UBE2H (1:500, cat. no. E2-607, BostonBiochem) at 4 °C overnight. The blots were visualized with the Alpha Innotech FluorChem FC2 imaging system (ProteinSimple; Bio-Techne, Minneapolis, MN, USA).

The cells were lysed in buffer containing 20 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 2 mM EGTA, 2 mM Na₂VO₃, 2 mM Na₄P₂O₇, 2% SDS, 2% Triton X-100, 1 μM leupeptin, 1 μM aprotinin, and 1 mM PMSF. We used a protein assay kit by BSA standards to determine the protein concentration according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). The amounts of cell lysate were distributed equally via SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Hybond-C, Amersham Pharmacia Biotech Inc., Oakville, ON, USA). After blocking with Tris-buffered saline (TBS) containing 5% nonfat dry milk for 1 h, we incubated the membranes at 4 °C overnight, with anti-GnRH-I receptor (Neomarker, Fremont, CA, USA), polyclonal total EGFR antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), and anti-N-cadherin (Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) or anti-Twist (Thermal, MA, USA) antibody, followed by incubating them with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody. We read the immunoreactive bands with an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) kit. The membrane was stripped by stripping buffer (62.5 mM Tris, 10 mM DTT, and 2% SDS, pH 6.7) at 50 °C for 30 min and re-probed with anti-β-actin antibody (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA) as a loading control.

The following antibodies were used: anti-BrdU (Hybridoma Bank); anti-mouse β-tubulin III (Tuj1, Covance, MMS-435P); anti-H3S10p (Upstate); anti-caspase 3 (BD PharMingen); anti-N-cadherin (DSHB); anti-trimethyl H3K27 (Millipore); anti-EZH2 (Zymed and Active motif); anti-aPKC (Santa Cruz, sc-17781); anti-β-tubulin (Millipore, MAB3408); anti-SOX5 (kindly provided by Dr Morales [55 (link)]; anti-pY31 paxillin (Invitrogen), Actin was stained with phalloidin-rhodamine (Sigma, P1951).

The cells were lysed in buffer containing 20 mM Tris, pH 7.4; 2 mM EGTA; 2 mM Na₂VO₃; 2 mM Na₄P₂O₇; 2% Triton X-100; 2% SDS; 1 μM aprotinin; 1 μM leupeptin and 1 mM PMSF. The protein concentration was determined with a protein assay kit using BSA standards according to the manufacturer's instructions (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA). Equal amounts of cell lysate were separated by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Hybond-C, Amersham Pharmacia Biotech Inc., Oakville, ON). Following blocking with Tris-buffered saline (TBS) containing 5% non-fat dry milk for 1 h, the membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with anti-GHRH-R (Abcam, Cambridge, MA), anti-Twist (Thermal), or anti-N-cadherin (Millipore) antibody, followed by incubation with a HRP-conjugated secondary antibody. The immunoreactive bands were detected with an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) kit. The membrane was then stripped with stripping buffer (62.5 mM Tris, 10 mM DTT, and 2% SDS, pH 6.7) at 50°C for 30 min and re-probed with an anti-GAPDH antibody (Santa Cruz) as a loading control.

Cultured neurospheres were fixed with 4 % paraformaldehyde in PBS for 20 min. After incubation with blocking solution for 90 min at 37 °C, cells or tissue sections were incubated overnight with primary antibodies at 4 °C. Primary antibody dilutions used were as follows: Anti-N-Cadherin, 1:200 (Millipore), anti-β-Catenin 1:200 (BD Biosciences) and anti-P2Y1 1:200 (cell signalling). Samples then were incubated for 2 h with a secondary antibody. After washing, counterstaining with DAPI and mounting in anti-fading medium, they were visualized using a Zeiss LSM 510 Meta confocal microscope (Zeiss).
