Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AhR and β-catenin localization changes were examined via immunofluorescence (IF) staining as described in a previous report [58 (link)]. Briefly, shCtrl and shIDO1 HuH-7 and Sk-Hep1 cells were treated with or without IFN-γ (40 ng/mL) in the absence or presence of KYN at the indicated doses for 48 h at 37 °C. After treatment, cells were fixed, blocked, and immunostained with antibodies against AhR (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA) and β-catenin (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), followed by fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled (AhR) or tetramethylrhodamine-isothiocyanate (TRITC)-labeled (β-catenin) secondary antibodies. Nuclear staining was conducted with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and images captured using an Olympus BX-51 microscope (Olympus, Japan). For immunoblot analysis, HuH-7, Sk-Hep1 and Ph5Ch8 cells were subjected to lentivirus-mediated knockdown of IDO1 or AhR and exposed to IFN-γ (40 ng/mL) or KYN at the indicated doses and times. All samples were lysed in RIPA containing 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 25 mM Tris-HCl, 1% NP 40, 0.1% SDS, 1× protease inhibitor cocktails, pH 8.0. Lysates were separated via SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes. Antibodies used for subsequent immunoblotting are listed in Table S2.

Control siRNA and Smad1 siRNA were ordered from Sigma. The miR‐26a‐5p mimic and inhibitor were ordered from Dharmacon. Transfection was performed as previously described.16 Western blot analysis was performed as described previously,17 using antibodies against β‐actin (Sigma‐Aldrich), Smad1 (Cell Signaling), Lef1 (Cell Signaling), β‐catenin (Becton Dickinson) and active β‐catenin (EMD Millipore). Luciferase reporter assays were performed as previously described.16 Briefly, the sequences containing the putative binding sites 1 (5′‐atcgagccttgcatgTACTTGAA‐3′) and 2 (5′‐aaggagccacgataaTACTTGAc‐3′) in the 3′‐UTR of Smad1 were inserted into the cloning site of the CMV‐Luc2 reporter vector. To mutate the binding sites, the seed sequences (the capitalized parts in above sequences) for the miR‐26a‐5p‐Smad1 interaction were deleted. Control siRNA or miR‐26a‐5p mimic was cotransfected with CMV‐luc2 plasmids as well as Renilla luciferase plasmids into mouse CD45 bone marrow stromal cells. To induce osteoblast differentiation of disc cells, after reaching 100% confluency, cells were cultured in α‐MEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 10 nmol/L dexamethasone, 50 µg/mL ascorbic acid and 10 mmol/L β‐glycerophosphate.

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.
