Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The expression of ALDH and vimentin in DLD-S ALDH/PI CSCs were analyzed with immunofluorescence staining and the laser confocal technique. For immunofluorescence analysis, cells were grown in serum-free DMEM/F12 (Hyclone; GE Healthcare Life Sciences) medium containing several growth factors and placed onto glass-coverslips for 16 h prior to fixation with 2% paraformaldehyde at 37°C for 15 min. Fixed cells were then permeablized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS at 20°C for 15 min, followed by incubation at 4°C overnight with the following primary antibodies: ALDH (1:200; sc-166362; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA) and vimentin (1:200; sc-7557; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), respectively. Antibodies were diluted using blocking buffer (PBS containing 2% BSA and 5% FBS). Cells were then incubated with phycoerythrin-(1:200; sc-166362; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) or fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated secondary antibody (1:200; sc-2024; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) at 20°C for 1 h. These slides were then stained using 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; 1:1,000; Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) at 20°C for 10 min. Fluorescent images were captured using the Olympus FV1200 laser confocal microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).

Immunohistochemical Assessment of Tumor Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemical staining and analysis was performed as previously published[30 (link)-32 (link)]. Briefly, Ki67 proliferation indices were determined by counting the number of Ki67 positive tumor cells in 10 individual 40x fields and dividing that number by the total number of tumor cells. The data are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M. of two independent experiments. Expression indices of RRM1, RRM2, hENT1, hCNT1, CDA, dCK, ALDH1, CD133, and CXCR4 were calculated by assigning a staining intensity of 0, 1, 2, or 3 to each specimen, and multiplying this intensity by the percent of tumor cells expressing the protein of interest[33 (link)]. Overall scores ranged from 0 to 300. Data were derived from photomicrographs taken with Olympus BH-2 microscope with DP71 camera and DPS-BSW v3.1 software. Primary antibodies were obtained from multiple sources: Ki67 (ab92742, abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), RRM1 (NBP2-49415, Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA), RRM2 (ab57653, abcam), hENT1 (SAB5500117, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), hCNT1 (NBP2-30857, Novus Biologicals), CDA (ab82346, abcam), dCK (sc393099, Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA), ALDH1 (sc166362, Santa Cruz), CD133 (CS#86781T, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), CXCR4 (TA305935, Origene, Rockville, MD, USA).

The bands were cut according to the protein size region of interest before intubating with antibodies and then imaged with an Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate Kit (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Uncropped images of the blot images are presented as additional data (Supple Figs. 10, 11). Bands relative density was calculated based on the density of α-tubulin and actin bands in each sample. Values were demonstrated as arbitrary densitometric units corresponding to signal intensity.

Quantitation of bands were performed by using Multi-Gauge 3.0 software, and the relative density of each band was calculated based on the density of the internal control bands in each sample. Values are shown as arbitrary densitometric units corresponding to signal intensity. All results are representative of at least three independent experiments.

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.
