Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The same tumor lysates as RPPA were analyzed for levels of phospho-VEGFR2 and phospho-FGFR4. PathScan® phospho-VEGFR2 antibody ELISA kit and PathScan® phospho-FGFR4 ELISA kit were used, respectively (Cell Signaling Technology cat#7824 and #69193 C). A standard curve was prepared by making serial dilution of the lysate of VEGF-Treated HUVEC Lysate (BioRad cat#171Z0010) for pVEGFR2 and FGF2-treated HepG2 lysate for pFGFR4. Liver cancer cell HepG2 cells were obtained from JCRB Cell Bank and were treated with 100 ng/mL of recombinant FGF2 (R&D System cat#233-FB-025/CF) for 5 min on 37 °C. After centrifugation, cells were lysed with RPPA buffer with TurboNuclease (Accelagen cat#N0103P) and disrupted in Bioruptor Level M for 10 sec. After centrifugation, supernatants were used to make a standardization curve for pFGFR4 ELISA. The phosphoprotein levels were normalized with total protein concentrations measured by the BCA assay. The normalized concentration data of pVEGFR2 and pFGFR4 are available as Supplementary Data 5.

LACE assay was performed as previously described [5 (link),25 (link)]. Briefly, frozen sections were incubated in 0.05% NABH4/PBS for 15 min. After several washes in PBS, sections were incubated in 0.1M glycine at 4°C overnight. Control sections were incubated with Heparitinase I (Seikagaku) before proceeding. Sections were then treated with 1% BSA/TBS solution for 10 min before incubation with 3 μM recombinant Fgf2 (R&D Systems) and 9 μM recombinant human Fgfr1α(IIIc)-Fc (R&D Systems); 20 nM recombinant Fgf10 (R&D Systems) and 20 nM recombinant human Fgfr2β(IIIc)-Fc (R&D Systems); 30nM recombinant Fgf8b (R&D Systems) and 100 nM recombinant human Fgfr3(IIIc) (R&D Systems) at 4°C overnight. Formation of ternary structure was detected by incubation of 1/200 anti-human IgG (Fc-specific) Cy3 (Sigma) in 1% BSA/TBS. n = 5 for wild-type embryos, n = 3 for mutant embryos.

Transgenic Osteoblast and Chondrocyte Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All general laboratory reagents were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (Poole, UK) unless otherwise stated. All cells were cultured in α–MEM containing 10% batch-tested FCS (Lonza, Slough, UK), antibiotics (penicillin 50U/ml, streptomycin 50μg/ml) and L-glutamine (5mM). The tetracycline-inducible osteoblastic AT9.2 and chondroblastic DT12.4 cell lines were cultured as previously described19 (link),26 (link) in the presence of 10 μg/ml (AT9.2) or 1μg/ml (DT12.4) tetracycline to inhibit transgene expression, and c-Fos was induced following withdrawal of tetracycline for 48h. DT8.6 cells represent a subclone of ATDC5 chondrocytes constitutively overexpressing c-Fos26 (link) and P1.15, P1.7, 131 P cells are clonal osteosarcoma cell lines derived from c-Fos murine transgenic osteosarcomas12 (link). Primary mouse osteoblasts were obtained from newborn mouse calvariae as described19 (link) and MG63 human osteosarcoma cells were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). All cell lines were mycoplasma-negative. Recombinant FGF2 was purchased from R&D Systems (Abingdon, UK). Transfections were performed using Effectene (Qiagen, Crawley, UK) and clones were selected in gentamycin (G418). Lentiviral shRNA vectors for FGFR1 were obtained from MISSION shRNA (Sigma). The FGFR inhibitor AZD4547 was purchased from ChemieTek (Indianapolis, IN).

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.
