Nuclear extracts were obtained from undifferentiated QCMCs according to the manufacturer’s protocol and used for EMSAs using LightShift Chemiluminescent EMSA Kit (Thermo Fisher Corp., Waltham, MA, USA) with modifications. Briefly, 200 fmol of 5′-biotin labeled histone H4 or E2F2 probes (listed in Table 1) was incubated with 10 μg nuclear extracts, 2 μL of 10 × binding buffer, 1 μL of poly dI·dC and 1 μL of 50% glycerol in a volume of 20 μL. For the competition assay, unlabeled or mutated probes were added to the reaction mixture for 10 min before adding the labeled histone H4 or E2F2 probes. Finally, 10 μg of histone H4 (ab5823, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) or E2F2 (ab138515, Abcam) antibody was added to the reaction mixture for the super-shift assay. The DNA-protein complexes were separated on a 6% non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel and based on three independent experiments. Images were captured using the molecular imager ChemiDoc™ XRS+ system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

RASF transfected with anti-E2F2 siRNA or E2F2-expressing plasmids were homogenized with cell lysis solution (Beyotime, China) and centrifuged at 12,000 × γ for 30 min at 4oC. The supernatant was collected, and protein concentrations were determined using a BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime, China). Total protein was separated on 10% SDS-PAGE gels, transferred to PVDF membranes and blocked in 5% milk in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween 20 (TBST) at pH 7.5. The membranes were incubated overnight at 4oC with rabbit polyclonal antibody against human E2F2 (ab138515, Abcam, UK), goat polyclonal antibody against human CCR4 (ab1669, Abcam, UK) or rabbit polyclonal antibody against human GAPDH (Good Here, China) at a 1 : 1000 dilution. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated sheep anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG) secondary antibody or rabbit anti-goat IgG secondary antibody was incubated with the membrane for 1 h at room temperature in TBST. Complexes were visualized using Immobilon Western chemiluminescent HRP substrate (Millipore, USA). The expression level of E2F2 or CCR4 protein was quantified by normalizing GAPDH expression using Image J software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA) to compare their gray values.

Tumor tissues were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA, V/V), followed by paraffin embedding. 4-μm tissue sections in paraffin were soaked in xylene for 15 min before dehydration with gradient ethanol. Each section was then soaked with citric acid (pH 6.0 DAKO) for 10 min at 95° for antigen retrieval and cooled to ambient temperature. After washing with TBST buffer for a 15-min period, the sections were incubated with 3% H2O2 for 10 min. Tissue sections were blocked using 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 30 min, followed by overnight incubation using primary antibodies E2F2 (Ab138515, Abcam) and Ki67 (ab15580, Abcam) under 4°C. Color development was performed using a DAB color-rendering kit (Soleibol, Japan). The images were captured using a Leica AM6000 microscope.

RIPA buffer (Solarbio, Beijing, China) was utilized to separate total proteins from cell lysates. After resolution using 8% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, proteins were shifted onto 0.22 μm PVDF membranes (Millipore). Following 1 h of blocking in 1× TBST buffer containing 5% nonfat dry milk, an overnight incubation of the membranes was performed at 4°C using primary antibodies to NF-κB p65 (#8242, 1:1000, CST, USA), IκBα (#4814, 1:1000, CST, USA), p-IκBα (#2859 1:1000, CST, USA), IKKβ (#8943 1:1000, CST, USA), p-IKKα/β (#2697 1:1000, CST, USA), NF-κB p50 (CY5040, 1:2000, Abways, China), RAB10 (ab237703, 1:1000, Abcam, USA), E2F2 (ab138515, 1:1000, Abcam, USA), Lamin B1 (AB0054, 1:1000, Abways, China) and β-actin (AB0035, 1:1000, Abways, China). After a triple ten-minute rinse using 1× TBST buffer, the membranes were proceeded 1 hour incubation at 37°C protected from light utilizing the corresponding DyLight 800-labeled goat anti-mouse or anti-rabbit antibodies (1:7000, abbkine, China). Finally, the blot image was recorded with the Odyssey Infrared Laser Scanner (LICOR Biosciences). Three replicates were required for each experiment. β-Actin levels were employed to normalize protein levels of the whole cell lysis and Lamin B1 for nuclear extract.

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.
