NR8383 cells were incubated with rat monoclonal primary antibody (CD11b, 1:100; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) followed by the appropriate secondary antibody (Cy3-conjugated secondary antibody, 1:350; Jackson ImmunoResearch Europe Ltd., Newmarket, UK). Cell surface glycoproteins CD163 (1:50; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), CD44 (1:150; Novus Biologicals, Centennial, CO, USA) on fixed NR8383 cells were stained with rat monoclonal antibodies, followed by Alexa Fluor® 488 (1:350, Jackson ImmunoResearch). Injected human MSCs were detected with an anti-human β2 microglobulin (hβ2MG) antibody (1:100, Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA) with an Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated secondary antibody (1:350, Jackson ImmunoResearch). Before co-culturing with human MSCs, NR8383 cell nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 to prevent the staining of human nuclei. Fluorescent images were acquired and analyzed using an LSM 800 confocal microscope (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany).

IHC and Flow Cytometry Analysis of PDAC Tumor Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The use of patient-derived material was approved by the institutional research ethics committee at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital (TMUGH). Tumor samples were obtained from 96 patients who underwent surgical resection at the hospital between 2009 and 2018 and had a histological diagnosis of PDAC. Following informed consent, the patient’s demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded and analyzed. Consecutive sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tumor samples were subjected to IHC for IGFBP2, CD163, FOXP3, Ki-67, and phospho-(Y705)-STAT3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). The results were scored by two pathologists who were blinded to the clinicopathologic data. Fresh PDAC patient surgical samples from TMUGH were processed into single-cell suspensions with 1 mg/ml collagenase, 2.5 U/ml hyaluronidase and 0.1 mg/ml DNase and were subjected to flow cytometry for cell surface markers with antibodies to human CD4, CD25, FOXP3, CD8, CD45, CD68, and CD163 (BD Biosciences). For each tumor, the mirror image tumor sample was also collected and processed to FFPE samples for measuring the IGFBP2 expression by IHC.

Orthotopic PDXs were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Gibco) and embedded in paraffin. Sectioned slides were blocked with 10% horse serum and permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Samples were probed with primary antibodies against the following proteins: CD68 and YKL-40 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), CD163 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), oligodendrocyte TF 2 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), CD44 (Sigma-Aldrich), B cell lymphoma 2-related protein A1 and Top2A (LSBio, Seattle, WA, USA), and serpin family E member 1 (Novus Biologicals, Centennial, CO, USA). Immunoreactivity was quantified using a Tissue FAXS system (Tissuegnostics USA, Tarzana, CA, USA). Scanned images were analyzed with HistoQuest cytometry software. The threshold signal intensity was determined relative to the negative control.

The spinal cord tissue sections were treated with xylene and graded alcohol, and heated in citric acid for antigen retrieval. After blocking with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco, Life Technologies, United States) for 1 h at RT, the sections were incubated overnight with primary antibodies against ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba-1, 1:200, and CST), CD68 (1:300, Boster Biological Engineering Co.), CD163 (1:30, Santa Cruz), GFAP (1:600, Abcam), GAP43 (1:200, Abcam) and MBP (1:200, Abcam) at 4°C.

The sections were observed under a fluorescence microscope (Olympus IX73). The fluorescence intensity of the positively stained area was measured using ImageJ, and the average fluorescence intensity in each field of view was calculated.

To determine the expression of the cell surface proteins, 1 × 106 cells were seeded in each culture dish (the samples were repeated three times in each group). After the differentiation period, the cells were incubated with primary antibodies for 30 min at 4 °C, washed thrice with DPBS, and then incubated for 30 min with PE-conjugated or FITC-conjugated secondary antibodies at 4 °C. After washing, the cells were re-suspended in 0.4 mL DPBS and analyzed using a Cytomics FC500 MLP (Beckman Coulter Inc., Fullerton, CA, 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.
