Proteins were extracted in RIPA lysis buffer (P0013B, Beyotime) and the concentration was determined using a BCA Protein assay kit (P0010S, Beyotime). Proteins were separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels (SDS-PAGE) and then transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. The membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk and then incubated overnight with primary antibodies, including anti-CAP3 (1:1000, ARG58412, and Arigo Biolaboratories Corp.), anti-S100P (1:1000, 7677S, and CST), anti-PTTG1 (1:1000, 13445, and CST), anti-LOXL2 (1:1000, ab96233, and Abcam), anti-MELTF (1:1000, 10428-1-AP, and Proteintech), anti-PKP2 (1:1000, ab189323, and Abcam), anti-TMPRSS11E (1:1000, PA5-48775, and Invitrogen Antibodies), and anti-β-actin (1:10000, A5441, and Sigma). Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-mouse/rabbit IgG secondary antibody was used to incubate membranes at room temperature. The blots were detected by chemiluminescence and imaged on an AlphaView analysis system (ProteinSimle, USA). The quantification of individual protein bands was assessed by densitometry using ImageJ software.

LOXL2 Protein Expression and Localization in Tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the protein expression and cellular localization of LOXL2, a 4 μm section of each tumor specimen was subjected to IHC analysis. The slides were deparaffinized, rehydrated, and treated with 3% H2O2 in methanol for 15 min to inhibit endogenous peroxidase. After blocking with 10% nonimmunogenic goat serum at room temperature for 30 min, slides were incubated with rabbit anti-LOXL2 polyclonal antibody (ab96233, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) overnight at 4°C. PBS incubation was parallelly conducted as the negative control. Immunoreactivity was assessed with a 2-step assay kit (PV-6001, ZSGB-Bio, Beijing, People’s Republic of China) and a DAB IHC detection kit (ZAI9017, ZSGB-Bio) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After counterstaining, dehydration, and mounting, 2 pathologists blinded to the clinical data were invited to evaluate the IHC results based on both staining proportion and intensity. The positive proportion was scored as 0 (0%–10%), 1 (11%–25%), 2 (26%–50%), 3 (51%–75%), and 4 (75%–100%); the staining intensity was scored as 0 (negative), 1 (light yellow, weak), 2 (yellow, moderate), and 3 (dark brown, strong). The final IHC score was calculated by multiplying the 2 scores above. IHC score <8 was considered as low expression, while IHC score ≥8 was grouped into high expression.

Secreted proteins were first concentrated using Amicon Ultra Cel-10 centrifugal filters (MWCO 10.000; Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) as previously described [94 (link)]. Cellular lysates or secreted proteins were resolved by 10% SDS-PAGE, and the proteins were electrophoretically transferred onto nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad, Herwles, Hercules, CA, USA) and analyzed as previously [24 (link)]. Secreted and cellular protein bands of human melanoma cells and fibroblasts were quantified using Image Studio Lite (LI-COR Biotechnology, Lincoln, NE, USA). A rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizing the C-terminal domain of LOX (L4669; Sigma-Aldrich), a rabbit polyclonal LOX propeptide antibody to LOX-PP (NB110-41568; Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA), and a rabbit polyclonal antibody to LOXL2 (ab96233; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) were used to detect the respective proteins. Secreted protein samples were verified to contain comparable amounts of total proteins by silver staining. Mouse monoclonal antibodies to alpha-tubulin (DM1A; Abcam) and actin (JLA20; Merck, Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) were used as loading controls for cellular proteins.

The total protein was isolated from the cells using RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) and protein concentration was quantified using a BCA kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) [17 (link)]. SDS-PAGE was used to dissolve the protein samples (30 μg/lane), and then the protein was transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, 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.
