All animal experiments followed the institutional guidelines for animal welfare. Four-week-old athymic male Swiss nu/nu mice were fed for 16 weeks with control diet (CD) (n = 18) or HFD (n = 18). Chow food was supplemented with bovine fat in a 2:1 proportion (w/w) to generate HFD. CD and HFD had 3 or 5 kcal per gram of food, respectively. After 12 weeks of diet, each CD- and HFD-fed mice group were randomly divided and subcutaneously injected with PC3.pGIPZ or PC3.shCtBP1 cells (4.8 × 106). Body weight was determined three times a week. Tumor size was measured for 4 to 6 weeks and tumor volume was calculated as described (19 (link)). At necropsy, blood was drawn from all mice by direct heart puncture; serum was separated and tumors were excised. Tissues were formalin fixed and paraffin embedded. Histopathology and IHC studies were performed in 5 μm tissue sections using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) or specific antibodies: anti-CtBP1 (BD Biosciences); anti-BRCA1 (ARP33338_P050, Aviva System Biology), anti-E-cadherin (Clone HECD-1, Zymed Laboratories Inc); and anti-cyclin D1 (H295, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies).
Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, glycemia, NAD+/NADH levels, testosterone, and estradiol determinations were performed as described in Supplementary Methods.

Three-paired pancreatic biopsies from pancreatic cancer patients (stage 0) and AP patients and cultured cells were used for protein extraction with 1 × RIPA buffer (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, #R0278). Total protein concentrations were determined using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, #ND-2000) at 280 nm. Equal amounts of total proteins were loaded onto 12% SDS-PAGE gels for electrophoretic separation. Proteins were then transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA, #10600023), followed by blocking with 5% milk for 1 h and then probing with primary antibodies including anti-c-MYC (Sigma-Aldrich, #06-340), anti-PCAF (Sigma-Aldrich, #SAB2101734), anti-CtBP1 (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA, #612042), anti-CtBP2 (BD Biosciences, #612044), anti-Myc (Abcam, Shanghai, China, #ab206486), anti-Flag (Sigma-Aldrich, #SAB4200071), anti-DNMT1 (Sigma-Aldrich, #D4692), anti-DNMT3a (Sigma-Aldrich, #SAB1410305), anti-DNMT3b (Sigma-Aldrich, #SAB2700189), and anti-GAPDH (Abcam, #ab8254).

Total protein extracts were prepared as previously described (Fedele et al., 2017 (link)). For lysates preparation from frozen GBM samples, small pieces in the range of 0.02 to 0.05 grams were selected, washed with cold PBS Buffer and then treated with RIPA buffer, containing Phosphatase/Protease Inhibitors and PMSF.

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.
