Immunoblotting was performed as previously described [44 (link)]. Equal amounts of tissue lysates were used for immunoblotting. Blots were incubated with specific antibodies to BMP-1 and LTBP-1 (Abcam, ab205394 and ab78294), Flag (Sigma-Aldrich, F3165), ALK5 (R&D system, MAB5871), Col3a1 and Fibronectin 1 (Novus Biologicals, NB600 and NBP1–91258). β-Actin (Sigma-Aldrich, A2228) was used as a loading control. Immunofluorescence was performed as previously described in detail [44 (link)]. We used specific antibodies to CD34 (BD Bioscience, 553731 or Abcam, ab54208), Nkx2.1 (Abcam, ab76013) and VE-cadherin (BD biosciences, 562243). The nuclei were stained with 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Sigma-Aldrich, D9564).

Immunofluorescence Staining of Spheroid Cultures

Spheroids in fibrin gel were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (+4°C, overnight), washed thrice in PBS, permeabilized by 0.2% Triton X-100 (in PBS) for 10 min, and blocked with 5% goat serum in PBS. Samples were then incubated (+4°C, overnight) in the mix of PBS+0.1% Tween-20+5% goat serum with primary antibodies against CD31 (ab119339; Abcam), fibronectin (MA5-11981; Abcam), CD34 (ab54208; Abcam), and vimentin (ab92547; Abcam). After three times washing with PBST (PBS+0,1% tween), samples were then incubated in 250 μl of a solution of secondary species-specific antibodies conjugated with fluorochromes Alexa Fluor 488 and Alexa Fluor 594 (ThermoScientific, United States). All antibodies were used at 1/500 dilution. The nuclei were stained with 2 μg/ml of intercalating dye Hoechst 33258 (Serva, Germany) or DAPI (Abcam). The preparations in the mounting medium were covered with coverslips and examined under LSM 880 laser confocal scanning microscope (ZEISS, Germany) in visible and UV light.

Immunoblotting and Immunofluorescence Analysis

Immunoblotting was performed as described previously [44 (link)]. Equal amounts of tissue lysates were used for immunoblotting. Blots were incubated with specific antibodies to BMP-1 and latent TGFβ1-binding protein-1 (LTBP-1) (ab205394 and ab78294; Abcam), Flag (F3165; Sigma-Aldrich), ALK5 (MAB5871; R&D Systems), Col3a1 and Fn1 (NB600 and NBP1-91258; Novus Biologicals). β-Actin (A2228; Sigma-Aldrich) was used as a loading control. Immunofluorescence was performed as described in detail previously [44 (link)]. We used specific antibodies to CD34 (553731; BD Bioscience or ab54208; Abcam), Nkx2.1 (ab76013; Abcam) and VE-cadherin (562243; BD Biosciences). The nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (D9564; Sigma-Aldrich).

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.
