The protein lysates were harvested using RIPA lysis buffer, with quantification performed using the Pierce BCA kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). For immunoblot analysis, 25-50 μg protein was boiled in Laemmli buffer and loaded on an 8-10% denaturing SDS-polyacrylamide gel and then transferred to PVDF membranes, which were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin before immunoblotting with primary antibodies against IL-6R (#167742, Abcam), integrin β6 (Clone 442.5C4, Millipore Sigma), phospho-STAT-3 (#9145), total STAT-3 (#4904), phospho-ERK1/2 (#9106), phospho-AKT (#4060), Vimentin (#5741), E-cadherin (#3195) (Cell Signaling Technology), αv (#sc-9969), and β-actin (#sc-47778) (Santa Cruz). After the incubation with secondary antibodies, the bands were detected by enhanced chemiluminescence.

Protein extraction was performed using the protease inhibitor-contained RIPA buffer (R0010, Solarbio, Beijing, China). The protein sample was separated using freshly-prepared SDS-PAGE, electrotransferred onto PVDF membranes, and probed with primary antibodies: PD-L1 (ab228415, 1: 1000), IL-6R (ab128008, 1:1000), and β-actin (ab8226, 1:20000) (Abcam Inc.). Immunoblotting was visualized with goat anti-rabbit IgG (Transgene biology CO., Beijing, China), enhanced chemiluminescence detection reagents and captured under the Bio-Rad image system (Bio-Rad, USA). Gray value of the target protein bands was quantified using Quanity One software, with β-actin used for normalization.

The PLA method [35 (link)] was conducted to analyze the binding condition of cytokine to the cognate receptor in lung tissues, using a PLA kit (DuoLink Mouse Rabbit in situ PLA kit; Sigma-Aldrich). In brief, lung tissue sections were blocked and then incubated with the primary antibodies (i.e., TNF-α and TNFR1, IL-1β and IL-1R, or IL-6 and IL-6R; all from Abcam, Cambridge, UK), followed by incubation with the secondary antibody (i.e., the oligonucleotide-labeled PLA probe). Nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Sigma-Aldrich). Images of all tissue sections were observed (DeltaVision Elite microscope; GE Healthcare, Marlborough, MA, USA) and scanned. The PLA signal intensities of the scanned images were measured using the image processing software ImageJ (a free software from https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/, accessed on 11 July 2018).

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.
