PP2A-A is a laboratory reagent produced by Cell Signaling Technology. It is a recombinant protein that serves as the structural subunit of the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) enzyme complex. PP2A-A plays a core role in the regulation of cellular signaling pathways by dephosphorylating target proteins.

To analyze the protein, tissue samples, and cultured cells were dissolved using a RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris, 1.0 mM EDTA, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Triton X-100, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 1 mM PMSF) (Beyotime, Nantong, China). Consistently, 30 μg of protein was loaded in each lane, fractionated by SDS-PAGE, and transferred onto a PVDF membrane. Then, the membrane was incubated at 4 °C overnight with human-specific phospho-mTOR(Ser2448) (Cell Signaling, 5536), mTOR (Cell Signaling, 2983), p62 (Cell Signaling, 8025), LC3B (Cell Signaling, 3868), ATG5 (Cell Signaling, 9980), PP2AA (Cell Signaling, 2039), PP2AB (Cell Signaling, 4953), CD24 (Abcam, ab76514), phospho-AKT (Thr308) (Cell Signaling, 13038), AKT (Cell Signaling, 4685), ABCG2 (Cell Signaling, 42078), (Abcam, London, UK), β-actin (Cell Signaling, 4970), and GAPDH (Cell Signaling, 5174) antibodies. The results were visualized by a chemiluminescent detection system (Pierce ECL substrate western blot detection system, Thermo Scientific, IL, USA).

Small Cell Lung Cancer Tissue Microarray Immunohistochemistry

Small cell lung cancer tissue microarrays (TMA) were from US Biomax Inc. (LC818). IHC staining was performed using standard techniques described previously (26 (link)) with antibodies against PP2A A (Cell Signaling Technology) in the Pathology/Solid tumor core, The City of Hope. Briefly, each TMA was reviewed and scored by two independent pathologists on a scale of 0 to 3: 0+, no staining, no expression; 1+, weak staining, low expression; 2+, moderate staining, moderate expression; and 3+, strong staining, high expression. The IHC staining of PP2A A was examined by a pathologist who assigned a score 0+ (no staining), 1+ (5%–80% of weak stained cells), 2+ (50%–90% of moderate stained cells), 3+ (70%–100% of strong stained cells). The number of tumor cores with stage I disease (I-IA-IB) was 39 and the pathologic score assigned was between 0+ and 3+. A total of 28 tumor cores were stage II (II-IIA-IIB) and 12 were stage III/IV (IIIA-IIIB-IV). Both groups had the same range of pathologic scores as the stage I group. The TMA slide specification sheet is included in Supplementary Table S1.

Whole cell and homogenized tumor tissues were lysed in NP-40 lysis buffer [50 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl and 1% Nonidet P40, supplemented with Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail tablets and PhosStop phosphatase inhibitors (Roche, Indianapolis, IN)] and prepared as previously described (26 (link)). Total cellular proteins (40 μg) were separated on 12% or 15% SDS/PAGE and transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Immobilon).. The membrane was then blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 5% (w/v) non-fat milk in TBS-Tween-20 and probed overnight with primary antibodies followed by anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG-horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) in blocking buffer for 1 h. Membranes were subsequently incubated in Immobilon Western Blot Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Millipore) and developed on biomax XAR film (Kodak). Primary antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology: γH2AX (Ser139), p-Wee1 (Ser 642), Wee1, p-cdc2 (Tyr15), p-BRCA1 (Ser1524), p-Chk1 (Ser345), p-Chk1 (Ser317), Chk-1, phospho-Chk2 (Thr68), PP2A-C, PP2A-A, cleaved caspase-3 (Asp175), cleaved PARP (Asp214), p-histone H3 (Ser10), p-ATR (Ser428), and p-(Ser) 14-3-3 binding motif.

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.
