Pancreas and cerebellum of eGFP-KRASG12D-positive fish and Tg(ptf1a:eGFP) controls were dissected and fixed in PBS containing 4% paraformaldehyde overnight at +4°C. Collected tissues were paraffin-embedded, cut as 1 μm slices and examined histologically using the standard H&E and Alcian Blue methods to analyze cell morphology and tissue structure. Tissue slices were immunostained with DAPI, to label cell nuclei, and antibodies anti-E-Cadherin (ab53033, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-N-Cadherin (ab12221, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-Vimentin (M7020, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), and anti-PCNA (M0879, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), according to standard procedures. A TUNEL assay protocol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was used to detect apoptosis.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice SMG tissue was cut into 200-μm thick slices with a tissue slicer (DSK, linear Slicer, PRO7; Dosaka EM Co., Ltd., Kyoto, Japan). The sliced tissues were kept in a 6-well culture dish with DMEM containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin and stimulated with 50 μM of saponarin, schaftoside, and isoschaftoside and vehicle control for 10 min. After stimulation, tissues were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and paraffin-embedded tissue sections were prepared. Immunohistochemistry was performed with mouse anti-E-cadherin (ab53033, 1:200 dilution; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and rabbit anti-AQP5 antibody (ab15858, 1:200 dilution; Millipore Co., Ltd., Darmstadt, Germany) as primary antibodies and TRITC conjugated mouse anti-rabbit IgG (1:200 dilution; Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, CA) and AlexaFluor® 488 conjugated chicken anti-mouse IgG (1:200 dilution; Gibco Life Technologies) as secondary antibodies. DAPI (1:1,000 dilution; Dojindo Laboratories) was used for nuclear staining. The degree of colocalization between AQP5 and the plasma membrane marker E-cadherin was calculated as Pearson’s correlation coefficient with ImageJ Coloc2 plugin.(20 (link))

Cells were disrupted in lysis buffer (AR0105-30; Boster, Wuhan, China) supplemented with 0.5 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 10 μg/ml leupeptin, 5 μg/ml pepstatin and 2.1 μg/ml aprotinin. Protein lysates were separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. The membranes were incubated with rabbit antibody to RUNX3 (1:1000; ab49117; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), rabbit antibody to E-cadherin (1:1000; ab53033; Abcam), SOX2 (1:1000; 20118-1-AP; Proteintech, Chicago, IL, USA) or mouse antibody to β-Actin (1:2000; 60008; Proteintech), and subsequently incubated with HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (BA1054; Boster) or HRP-conjugated goat antimouse IgG (BA1050; Boster). Signals were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA).

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.
