The harvested cell aggregate, native and decellularized tissue sections from porcine heart and TA muscle from rat were fixed in 4% phosphate-buffered paraformaldehyde for 24 hours, embedded in paraffin. Eight-micrometer-thick serial sections were cut from the paraffin-embedded blocks and underwent H&E staining and Masson’s Trichrome staining. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using standard procedures as described previously [35 (link), 36 (link)]. Briefly, sections were incubated with primary antibodies as follows: anti-Col-I (1:200; Santa Cruz, USA), anti-fibronectin (1:200; Abcam) and anti-integrin-β1 (1:200; Abcam). The same source IgG was used for the negative control instead of the primary antibodies. Biotinylated secondary antibodies (1:1000) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. The stained sections were observed using the light microscope (Nikon, Japan). The photographs were evaluated by Image-Pro Plus 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, USA) from three randomly selected views of each specimen.

FN‐mediated cells in the first 12 h were pretreated with 10 µg mL−1 Anti‐Integrin α5 (Abcam), Anti‐Integrin β1 (Abcam), Anti‐Integrin α5β1 antibody (Millipore), or noninhibitory isotype control antibody (Millipore) for 30 min at 37 °C before washing in PBS. The cells (2 × 104 cells cm−2) were seeded in FN‐coated dishes for 1 h at 37 °C. After removal of nonadherent cells by washing with PBS, adherent cells were harvested with trypsin and quantified in triplicates with a hemocytometer. In addition, the area of adherent cells was quantified with the ImageJ software (NIH, version 1.25p).

Cells were lysed in cold RIPA lysis buffer supplemented with Protease Inhibitors cocktail (CST Inc., USA). The protein concentration was quantified using BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime, China) following the manufacturer’s introduction.

Target protein was detected using specific primary antibody, including: anti-Integrin β1 (1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-PI3K (1:1000; Abcam), anti-Akt (1:1000; Abcam), anti-phospho-PI3K (1:1000; Abcam), anti-phospho-Akt (1:1000; Abcam). All experiments were repeated three independent times and the target protein level was quantified by ImageJ and normalized to internal control.

The NSCLC tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 72 h and then sectioned. The samples were deparaffinized and rehydrated using alcohol and water. For antigen recovery, the samples were treated with sodium citrate buffer at 100℃ for 5 min. For blocking, 5% BSA was used. Subsequently, the samples were incubated overnight at 4℃ with primary antibodies: anti-fibrin α subunit (1:100; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-p-AKT (1:100; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-integrin β1 (1:100; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and anti-PTEN (1:200; Abcam, Cambridge, UK). Finally, the detection was carried out using the ABC HPR Kit (Thermo Fisher, MA, USA).

We fixed and permeabilized MB49 cells treated with collagen or E7820 to examine the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in bladder cancer cells. Then the cells were labeled with anti‐integrin β1 (1:200; Abcam), anti‐p‐PI3K (1:200; Abcam), or p‐AKT (1:200; Abcam) followed by Alexa 594 secondary Abs (1:800; Abcam). In addition, nuclei were labeled with DAPI. All immunofluorescence images were captured from FV1000 laser scanning confocal microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany).

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.
