Human kidney cancer cell lines 786-O and ACHN were purchased from Chinese Academy of Typical Culture Collection Cell Bank (Shanghai, China), cultured in 37 °C, 5% CO2, and saturated humidity. 786-O cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA) medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. ACHN cells grew in the same condition except in MEM (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA) medium. Vismodegib was acquired from Medchem Express (NJ, USA). Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were acquired from Peprotech (Rocky Hill, NJ, USA). Insulin and 2% B27 were acquired from Gibco. Primary antibodies including CD133, CD44, ALDHA1, Oct4, Nanog, PCNA, CyclinD1, Shh, Smo, Gli1, Gli2, and GAPDH were purchased from Proteintech (Rocky Hill, NJ, USA). Anti-rabbit and anti-mouse second antibodies were purchased from ZSGB-BIO (Beijing, China). PCR primers of CD133, CD44, ALDHA1, Oct4, and Nanog were synthesized by Beijing Genomics Institute (Beijing, China).

Total proteins were isolated using RIPA buffer and separated via 10% SDS-PAGE. These proteins were then transferred to PVDF membranes, which were blocked with 5% skimmed milk to prevent non-specific binding. Then, the membranes were incubated with the primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight and the secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature. The antibodies were PCNA (ab18197; 1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), Bax (ab32503; 1:1000; Abcam), FABP4 (ab66682; 1:1000; Abcam), Bcl-2 (ab32124; 1:1000; Abcam), Sox2 (ab97959; 1:1000; Abcam), Oct4 (ab19857; 1:1000; Abcam), ALDHA1 (15910-1-AP; 1:1000; Proteintech, Wuhan, China), Glut1 (ab15309; 1:1000; Abcam), LDHA (ab52488; 1:1000; Ab-cam), p-ERK (4370; 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology, Boston, MA, USA), ERK (4695; 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), p-mTOR (5536; 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), mTOR (2983; 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), and GAPDH (ab181602; 1:1000; Abcam). Finally, the enhanced chemiluminescence kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) was conducted to obtain the combined protein signals.

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.
