The CT26 tumor-bearing mice with tumor volume of 150–200 mm3 were classified: Vehicle, GGd-NCPs, aAGd-NWs ([Gd] = 15.7 mg kg−1, [ara-AMP] = 34.7 mg kg−1) with or without X-ray irradiation (5 Gy × 1). The corresponding drugs were administered intravenously 6 h before radiotherapy. Then, tumor tissues were collected for evaluation of γ-H2Aχ 24 h post irradiation. Tumor tissues were sliced and stained with γ-H2Aχ mouse monoclonal primary antibody (diluted 1:200 with 3% BSA, Abcam, UK) and secondary antibody conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 (Bioss, China) to detect DNA double-strand breaks. According to the manufacturer’s protocol, tumors were collected from six groups at 48 h post different treatments for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay and Ki67 staining, respectively.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorescence microscopy analysis
was used to show the colocalization of CD71 and HFn-FITC within CD71-positive
C666-1 cells. Upon reaching 90% confluence, C666-1 cells were detached,
washed, and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at 37 °C.
After washing and suspending in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), a
20 μL aliquot of the cell suspension was placed onto a slide,
allowed to sit for 20 min at room temperature, and then dried in an
oven at 37 °C. The cell smears were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton
X-100 for 15 min and blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for
1 h at room temperature. The cells were then incubated with the following
reagents: 5 μg/mL of mouse IgG1 kappa isotype control (Invitrogen,
USA), 5 μg/mL of CD71 mouse monoclonal antibody (Invitrogen,
USA), and 10 μg/mL of HFn-FITC in 0.1% BSA at 4 °C overnight.
Subsequently, the cells were labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 and Alexa
Fluor 555 secondary goat antimouse antibody (Bioss, China) at a dilution
of 1:100 for 1 h at room temperature. After rinsing with PBS containing
0.05% tween 20 (Solarbio, China), an antifade mounting medium with
DAPI (Beyotime Biotechnology, China) was applied to stain the cell
nuclei for 10 min. Finally, the cell smears were examined using a
confocal laser scanning microscope with 405, 488, and 543 nm wavelengths
of laser (Zeiss LSM880, Carl Zeiss AG, Oberkochen, Germany).

Co-cultures on the chamber culture slides of MalaEx with keratinocytes were fixed in cold acetone for 5 min and with monocytes in formaldehyde for 15 min. Keratinocytes were stained by a mouse anti-36/E-Cadherin (BD Biosciences), followed by a secondary anti-mouse IgG antibody conjugated with FITC (BD Biosciences). Monocytes co-cultured with MalaEx were stained with anti-CD14 conjugated with Alexa fluor 488 (Bioss Antibodies Inc., MA, USA). Glass slides were mounted with Vectashield mounting medium (Vector Laboratories, CA, USA) and fluorescent images as z-scans were acquired on a CLSM (TCS SP2; Leica Microsystems, Mannheim, Germany).

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded SAT sections were used for immunohistochemical analysis and immunofluorescence investigations (n = 5 each), as previously described [23 (link)]. For the immunohistochemical analysis, we used anti-GRP78 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), Imgenex anti-ATF6 (Novus, Littleton, CO, USA), and anti-EPHX2 antibodies (OriGene Technologies, Inc., Rockville, MD, USA). The immunohistochemical analysis results were quantified using ImageScope software version 11.1 (Aperio, Vista, CA, USA), as previously reported [29 (link)]. For immunofluorescent staining, tissue sections were incubated with anti-GRP78 or anti-ATF6 antibody conjugated with Alexa Fluor-488 (Bioss, Woburn, MA, USA). EPHX2 tissue sections were incubated with anti-EPHX2 antibody (OriGene Technologies, Inc., Rockville, USA) and then incubated with Alexa Fluor-488–conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (Molecular Probes, ThermoFisher, USA).

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.
