Staining for ER, PR, HER2, and SHC1 was performed using Dako EnVision FLEX mini Kit on a Dako Autostainer Omnis (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). High-resolution digital images were captured at × 20 using a Pannoramic 250 Flash III slide scanner (3DHISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary). ER, PR, HER2, and SHC1 were detected using EnVision FLEX Target Retrieval Solution Low pH (Citrate buffer, pH 6.1, Agilent) and incubation with anti-ER (1:200, ab3575, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), anti-PR (1: 2000, ab16661, Abcam), anti-HER2 (1:400, A0485, Agilent), and anti-SHC (1:50, 06-203, Sigma) for 30 min, followed by secondary antibody (Polymer) for 30 min. Counterstaining with hematoxylin, dehydration, clearing, and coverslipping was performed. The Dako HER2 antibody recognizes rat HER2 [28 (link)].

Profiling ERα and FOXA1 Binding in Breast Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used an immunotethered strategy for profiling the binding of the ERα and FOXA1 TF in human MCF7 breast cancer cells. MCF7 cells were estrogen-withdrawn for 72 hours before being plated and then treated with either ethanol (vehicle control) or 10−10 M E2 for 1 hour before cell collection. The CUT&RUN method uses an antibody to a specific chromatin epitope to tether protein A–MNase at chromosomal binding sites within permeabilized cells. The nuclease is activated by the addition of calcium and cleaves DNA around binding sites (10 (link)). Cleaved DNA is isolated and subjected to paired-end Illumina sequencing to map the distribution of the chromatin epitope genome-wide. We used a primary antibody to human ERα (ab3575, Abcam, Cambridge, MA) and human FOXA1 (ab170933) and protein A–MNase fusion (pA-MNase, a gift from S. Henikoff, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle WA) (10 (link)). CUT&RUN profiling with 5 × 105 cells and library amplification with 13 cycles of PCR were performed as described (10 (link)). Libraries were sequenced for 10 million paired-end reads on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform at the University of Colorado Denver Cancer Center Genomics Shared Resource. Paired-end reads were mapped to the GRch38 assembly of the human genome using Bowtie2 (58 (link)).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Tumor Biopsies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A subset (Additional file 1, n = 25) of the tumour biopsies were preserved in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) for 24 h, paraffin embedded, and sections cut at 4 µm. Sections were stained with the following antibodies, ERα (1:300 dilution, ab3575) and CD3 (1:150 dilution, ab5690) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK). For CD3 evaluation, areas of stroma were identified and as many 40X fields of view were examined as possible (range 3–7 fields of view, average of 4.33). The number of CD3+ cells in each 40X field of view were counted and the average number calculated for each tumour. To determine the ER status of the tumours, the total number of unstained and stained nuclei was counted, and amount of ER staining expressed as a percentage. Samples were considered ER+ if > 1% of tumour cells showed positive nuclear staining.

Uterus and PEC Protein Extraction and Analysis

Total protein was extracted from the uterus and the PECs using radioimmunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer supplemented with phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and detected by the Bicinchoninic Acid Protein Assay Kit (Tiangen Biotech Co., Ltd., Beijing, China). Approximately 50 μg of protein was separated by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels and subsequently transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk powder for 1.5 h and incubated overnight at 4 °C with the following primary antibodies: anti-ER-α (1:1000; ab3575, Abcam, Shanghai, China), anti- ER-β (1:1000; ab3576, Abcam), anti-PR (1:200; sc-539, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Shanghai, China), anti-GAPDH (1:5000; Abcam) and anti-actin (1:5000; Abcam). After incubation, the membranes were washed three times with TBST and incubated with anti-rabbit/mouse IgG antibody (1:2000; CWBIO, Beijing, China) for 2 h at 37 °C, followed by washing with TBST. Finally, the membranes were immersed in a high-sensitivity luminescence reagent (BeyoECL Plus; Beyotime), exposed to film using a FusionCapt Advance FX7 (Beijing Oriental Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) and analyzed using Ipp 6.0 (Image Pro-Plus 6.0; Media Cybernetics).

The formalin-fixed placenta samples underwent routine histological processing. For immunohistochemical analysis, paraffin sections (5 μm) were stained with primary antibodies to ERα (ab3575, 1:100, Abcam), CD68 (ab125212, 1:100, Abcam), CD206 (ab64693, 1:100, Abcam) manually. The immunoperoxidase-stained sections were counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin. Paraffin sections were stained with primary to CD56 (NCL-CD56-504, clone CD564, Leica Biosystems, Wetzlar, Germany) in a Leica BOND-MAX Automated Immunostainer with further incubation with immunoperoxidase-conjugated antibodies and counterstaining with hematoxylin included in the CD56 staining kit. For each section, 10 images were obtained on a Leica DM2500 system.

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.
