To confirm the overexpression of CEMP1 at the protein level, total proteins were isolated from HGF/CEMP1, NIH-3T3/CEMP1, HGF and NIH-3T3 and western blots were performed using anti-human rhCEMP1 polyclonal antibodies [10 (link)]. Validation of selected genes was done using, anti-E-Cadherin, anti-N-Cadherin, anti-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR-2), anti-high mobility group (HMG) proteins (HMG-1/2/3 (FL-215), anti-heparin binding epidermal-like growth factor (HB-EGF), anti-HoxA5 and anti-c-Met oncogene were used (Santa Cruz Biotech, CA, USA).

Comprehensive Western Blot Protocol

The protocol used for western blot has been previously described in detail [29 (link)]. In brief, cells were harvested, washed twice with PBS, and lysed in ice-cold radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer. Lysates were boiled in 4× SDS-sample buffer and resolved on SDS-PAGE. SDS-PAGE-separated proteins were transferred by electrophoresis onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Finally, blots were probed with appropriate primary and appropriate secondary antibodies, as follows: p-Rb (9307; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), CCNE2 (11935-1-AP; Proteintech), p-ERK (SC-7383; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), ERK (SC-154; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), FGFR2 (SC-6930; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), CDK2 (SC-6248; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), CDK4 (SC-23896; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), CDK6 (19117-l-AP; Proteintech), CDKN2A/p16 INK4a (ab16880; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and β-actin (SC-47778; Santa Cruz Biotechnology).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Paraffin-embedded paraformaldehyde-fixed thyro-parathyroid tissues were sectioned serially at 6-μm thickness. One in every six sections was stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) to determine the location of the parathyroid glands. Then, the sections containing the parathyroid glands were immunostained using the standard indirect immunofluorescence technique. The primary antibodies used in the study were for PTH (sc-9676; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX), Ki67 (ab16667; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), phosphorylated ERK1/2 (#4370; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA), CaSR (MA1-934; Thermo Fisher Scientific K.K.), VDR (sc-1009; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), αKlotho (AF1819; R&D Systems), FGFR1 (sc-121; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), FGFR2 (sc-122; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), FGFR3 (sc-123; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and FGFR4 (sc-9006; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) with DAPI (Thermo Fisher Scientific K.K.) co-staining for nuclei. The secondary
antibodies used for indirect immunofluorescence staining were as follows: Alexa Fluor 568 or 488-conjugated anti-rabbit, -mouse, or -goat IgG produced in goat or donkey (Molecular Probes).

Evaluating FGFR2 Expression in Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An IRB approved retrospective study was performed to identify patients with cSCC at LSU Health-Shreveport and Overton Brooks Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Normal skin samples (n=9) were collected from Caucasian patients undergoing reduction mammoplasty surgery. Normal skin, Actinic Keratosis (n = 9) cSCC sections (n = 28) and cSCC with metastasis (n = 21) were immunostained for FGFR2 (1:600, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) using DAB as a chromogen, and the staining intensity was quantified by a registered pathologist who was blinded to the clinical details as described before (21). A semi-quantitative approach was used to score the staining intensity. Slides were categorized based on the following: no staining scored as (0), weak or focal staining scored as (1+), moderate staining scored as (2+), and strong staining scored as (3+). Please note that part of the data depicting FGFR2 expression in normal and cSCC is already published in our previous research manuscript 29 (link). However, for this research study we have increased the sample size and have now included the AK group as well.

For western blot analysis, samples were isolated from the lysate (30 μg), mixed in reducing buffer, boiled, resolved on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane by blotting. The blot was incubated overnight at 4°C in a blocking solution with primary antibodies to the following antigens: α-amylase, AQP5, ZO-1, CK7, CK18, FGF7, FGFR2, p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) and β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA); E-cadherin (BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, USA); p53, Bax (Abcam, England); Bcl-2, Cytochrome C, Cleaved caspase-9 and Cleaved caspase-3, protein kinase B (PI3K), p-PI3K, Akt, p-Akt and murine double minute 2 (MDM2), p-MDM2 (Cell signaling, Danvers, MA, USA). After washing the blots with 0.1% Tween 20 in 1×PBS, they were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies corresponding to each primary antibody, after which they were subjected to enhanced chemiluminescence detection (GE Healthcare Life Science, USA).

Cells were lysed using PRO-PRE Protein Extraction Solution (Intron Biotechnology, Seongnam, Korea), and protein concentration was determined using a Bradford assay kit (BIO-RAD, Hercules, CA, USA). Cell lysates (40 µg) were separated on 8% or 10% acrylamide gels by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred onto Hybond-ECL nitrocellulose membranes (Amersham Biosciences, Buckinghamshire, UK). Membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween-20 for 1 h at room temperature. The blots were probed using primary antibodies against FGFR1, FGFR2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), FGFR3, FGFR4 (Abcam), phospho-FGFR1 (p-FGFR1), total-c-Met, phospho-c-Met (p-c-Met), total-AKT, phospho-AKT (p-AKT), total-ERK, phospho-ERK (p-ERK) (Cell Signaling Technology), or β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Membranes were then incubated with horseradish peroxidase–conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse secondary antibodies (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ, USA). Bands were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) kit (Amersham Biosciences, Buckinghamshire, UK) following the manufacturer’s protocols.

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.
