Confirming hTERT Protein Expression via Immunofluorescence

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To confirm transgenic hTERT protein expression, we performed immunofluorescence (IF) staining on the hTERT- immortalized cell lines as well as non-transfected fibroblasts and ES cells as controls. Prior to the beginning of the procedure, the subjected cells were detached with TrypLE and seeded in 48-well plates. After reaching an appropriate density, the cells were fixed in 4% PFA (in PBS) for 10–30 min and permeabilized with 0.1% TritonX-100 for 10–15 min at room temperature. Following double wash with PBS, the cells were incubated with primary antibody for hTERT (Abcam, Cat. # ab32020; diluted 1:200 in PBS + 5% BSA) overnight at 4°C. Afterwards, the cells were washed twice with PBS and incubated with the secondary antibody, AlexaFluor594 donkey anti-rabbit (Life Technologies, #A21207; diluted 1:200 in PBS + 5% BSA) for 20 min at room temperature in the dark and subsequently stained with 5% DAPI in PBS for 1–2 min at room temperature. Finally, the cells were washed twice with PBS and mounted with Citifluor mountant medium (CITIFLUOR). Microscopy images were taken with a Zeiss Observer Z1 (Zeiss).

Hs68 and Hs68 + hTERT cell lysates were used for FLAG-hTERT immunoprecipitation as described elsewhere59 (link). Briefly, NP-40 lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 1% (v/v) NP-40, 10% (v/v) glycerol, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM MgCl2, 150 mM NaCl) containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail tablet (Roche) was used to lyse the cells and anti-FLAG M2 affinity resin (Sigma-Aldrich, Canada) was used to immunoprecipitate FLAG-hTERT. After incubation, proteins were eluted from the beads using SDS buffer. Flag-hTERT immunoprecipitates from Hs68 cells were detected via western blotting using rabbit monoclonal (Y182) to telomerase reverse transcriptase (1:1000; ab32020; Abcam) as previously described62 (link). For qPCR, RNA was isolated using TRizol Reagent (Invitrogen) using the manufacturer's protocol. After incubation with chloroform and isopropanol, the precipitated RNA was washed with 70% ethanol and air dried before disolving in RNAse-free ddH2O. cDNA was made using 2 µg RNA using qScript cDNA SuperMix reaction protocol (Quantabio). Specific primers for hTERT and GAPDH (house keeping gene) were used to determine the relative hTERT levels in Hs68 and Hs68 + hTERT cells.

Western blot was performed as described elsewhere. Briefly, the fresh cells were harvested, washed with PBS, and lysed in lysis buffer. After being boiled, the proteins were resolved on 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gels and then electrotransferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. Primary antibodies used were as follows: anti-TERT (1 : 1000 diluted, ab32020, Abcam), β-catenin (1 : 1000 diluted, 8480, Cell Signaling Technology, USA), c-Myc (1 : 1000 diluted, ab32072, Abcam), and GAPDH (1 : 1000 diluted; 5174, CST). Next day, proteins were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody and visualized by using the enhanced chemiluminescence method. The intensity of the bands was quantified using the image lab 6.0 system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA), and the data were normalized to the GAPDH as loading controls. All western immunoblot analyses were performed three times.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Paraffin specimens of pancreatic cancer tissue were obtained from surgically removed tissues of inpatients in the Faculty of Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery, Chinese PLA General Hospital. The ethics of the study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Chinese PLA General Hospital (the reference number is S2016-098-01). IHC of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples was performed as described previously (18 (link)). Rabbit anti-LDHB (ab32020, Abcam, USA) was used at a dilution of 1:150. The expression of LDHB was determined by calculating the expression score which was generated by multiplying the score for intensity of the staining (no staining=0; weak staining=1; moderate staining=2; strong staining=3) by the percentage of stained cells (0%-100%). Expression score above 1.6 was determined as high expression and below 1.6 was set as low expression.

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.
