Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rabbit MT-SP1 (Calbiochem) antibody was used for immunostaining and western blot (WB) of THP1 cells. HGEC were treated with 1 μM of human recombinant MSP1 (R&D Systems) with or without RON inhibitor (200 nM) for varying times. WB analysis was performed with rabbit anti-p44/p42 MAPK (Erk1/2), rabbit anti-phospho-p44/p42 Erk1/2, rabbit anti-pan-Akt, and rabbit anti-phospho-Akt antibodies (all from Cell Signaling Technology). Mouse anti-β-actin antibodies and phalloidin-FITC conjugate were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich.

After treatments, cells were washed twice with sterile PBS, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS at 25 °C for 20 min and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X100 in PBS at 25 °C for 20 min. Fixed cells were incubated with 3% BSA in PBS at 25aC for 1h and further incubated for 24 h with different mouse monoclonal antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology): β-catenin (1:50), E-cadherin (1:100), vimentin V9 (1:100), ZO-1 (1:50). After labeling, samples were washed with PBS and incubated with a mixture of Alexa Fluor® 546 donkey anti-mouse IgG 1:250 (Invitrogen-Thermo Fisher), phalloidin-FITC conjugate 1:50 (Sigma-Aldrich) and 2.5 μM Hoechst 33256 (Sigma-Aldrich) for 60 min. Then, samples were washed with PBS and mounted with a drop of Vectashield Mounting Medium (Vector Laboratories). Samples were examined with a Nikon Eclipse Ti microscope (with an objective Plan apo VC 60x, 1.4 DIC ½) with acquisition software Micrometric SE Premium (Accu-Scope). A minimum of 10 fields containing several cells were collected from each sample. All images were processed using Fiji ImageJ 1.52b Software (National Institutes of Health, USA).

Immunofluorescence Detection of NMIIA in A431 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To detect the NMIIA isoform in A431 cell line, cells were seeded into glass coverslip-containing 24-well plates. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized using 0.1% Triton X-100. Samples were blocked with 2% w/v Bovine Serum Albumine solution, endogenous NMIIA was detected using anti-NMIIA antibody (rabbit, polyclonal, 1:300, Biolegend) and Alexa Fluor-546-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Life Technologies). Actin filaments were stained by phalloidin-FITC conjugate (Sigma-Aldrich). Immunofluorescence was imaged using a Zeiss Axio Observer Z1 microscope equipped with 40x EC Plan-Neofluar objective, Colibri illumination system and AxioCam MRm camera.

Visualizing Cytoskeletal Structure and Cell Nuclei

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were fixed with freshly prepared paraformaldehyde (3.7% in PBS) and permeabilized with Triton X-100 (0.5% in PBS) for 15 min at room temperature. Phalloidin-FITC conjugate (Sigma Aldrich, Madrid, Spain), which binds polymerized F-actin, was used to identify cytoskeletal actin filaments, while DAPI (4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) was used to mark the DNA and to recognize cell nuclei. All samples were mounted with antifade medium Vectashield (VectorLabs, Barcelona, Spain) and were examined with a Nikon A1R confocal scanning laser microscope. For the analysis of cells grown on the HFs, the samples were inverted and a series of optical sections were obtained using the objective Plan Apo 20X DIC N2 equipped with a 405 nm argon laser and 561 nm HeNe laser to detect cell nuclei (DAPI) and cytoskeleton (Phalloidin-FITC), respectively. The reconstructions of 37 images (15 μm step−1) of confocal sections were assembled using NIS Elements 3.2 software (Boston, Massachusetts, 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.
