Proteins extraction from cells and tissues was performed using RIPA buffer, and then the extracted proteins separated by gel electrophoresis with a 10% SDS‐PAGE gel. Separated proteins were then transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. The membranes were then incubated with 5% skimmed milk for a duration of 2 hours at room temperature with agitation, after that, the membranes were incubated with ANXA2 primary antibody (1:1000; ab41803; Abcam) or β‐actin primary antibody (1:2000; ab8227, Abcam) at 4°C overnight, followed by incubating with relevant secondary antibodies with horse‐radish peroxidase conjugation (1:2000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas) for 2 hours at room temperature. Western blot bands were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (Pierce, Rockford, USA).

JEG-3 cells (2.5×105) were treated with 10 nM ADM or 100 μM S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), an endogenous nitrogen oxide, for 24 h. The concentrations of ADM and GSNO used were based on our previous studies indicating their biological effects in the in vitro study [7 (link)]. Cells treated with PBS were used as a control. S-nitrosylated proteins were purified and resolved by SDS-PAGE. S-nitrosylated annexin II (ANX II) was detected by western blot using a polyclonal anti-ANX II antibody (1:1000; ab41803; Abcam).

For Annexin A2 immunoprecipitation, cell lysates were pre-cleared with protein G agarose beads (Sigma Aldrich) for 1 hour with gentle rotation at 4°C. Cleared lysates were then transferred in a new tube for incubation with agarose beads and primary anti-Annexin A2 antibody (Rabbit, ab41803, Abcam) overnight at 4°C with gentle rotation. The beads were washed with lysis buffer and boiled with 2x SDS loading buffer at 100°C for 5 minutes before separation using SDS-PAGE.
For fibronectin immunoprecipitation, protein G agarose beads were incubated with anti-FN for 1 hour, rotating at 4°C. Beads were then spun down and added to purified fibronectin-PBS solution for 3 hours, rotating at 4°C. Beads were then washed with lysis buffer and added to MDA-MB-231 cell lysate, and incubated overnight, rotating at 4°C. The beads were washed with lysis buffer and boiled with 2x SDS loading buffer at 100°C for 5 minutes before separation using SDS-PAGE. For all experiments, a control/blank IP was prepared with all the reagents, but without the antibody, to account for non-specific binding.

MPC5 cells were pre-treated with 20 μg/mL Annexin A2 antibody after 12 hours of synchronization. The cells were immediately equilibrated to 4 °C on ice for 5 minutes before being rinsed with ice-cold PBS and treated with 10 mM EGTA in PBS (600 μL/6 cm dish) for 30 minutes.

Cells were seeded in 6-well plates containing coverslip in complete growth medium and, after treatment, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min at 20 °C, and permeabilized in 0.5% v/v Triton X-100 in PBS for 10 min, prior to be blocked with 5% v/v goat serum and 0.1% v/v Triton X-100 in PBS for 1 h.

PC12 cells were grown on poly-L-Lys-coated glass coverslips and treated as indicated above. The cells were fixed, permeabilised and blocked against non-specific binding of antibodies as described previously (Grindheim et al., 2014 (link); Grindheim et al., 2016 (link)) prior to staining with primary polyclonal antibodies against AnxA2 (1:250; ab41803, Abcam, Cambridge, UK). The bound primary antibodies were detected using appropriate DyLight-488- or DyLight-594-conjugated Fab2 fragments (1:50; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, United States). The coverslips were inverted and mounted on objective glasses on a small drop of Vectashield mounting medium containing 4′,6-diamino-2′-phenylindole (DAPI) (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, United States). Confocal imaging was performed using a Leica SP5 AOBS confocal laser scanning microscope equipped with 405 diode and argon and helium neon lasers (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany). Optical sections were obtained using the 63×/1.4 NA HCX Plan-Apochromat oil-immersion objective (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany), ∼1 Airy unit pinhole aperture and appropriate filter combinations. Confocal images were obtained in Leica Application Suite (LAS) AF. Figures were made in Microsoft Publisher for the images and GraphPad Prism for the graphs.

Ligands were analyzed by Western blotting or ELISA, HDAC6 activity was assessed using a homogenous fluorescence release HDAC deacetylase assay. For each assay, samples from 3 independent experiments were analyzed. Equal number of EVs were solubilized and subjected to analysis as published previously [20 ,27 ]. In short, after samples (1.7 × 1010 EVs) were separated by electrophoresis on 4–20% Criterion TGX Precast Gels (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc), and proteins transferred to PVDF membranes, membranes were probed with primary antibodies against annexin-A2 (1:1000; ab41803, Abcam) or fibronectin (1:1000; 610077, BD Bioscience) followed by visualization with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies and Clarity Western ECL Blotting Substrate (Bio-Rad Laboratories) with chemiluminescent detection, using 10 s exposure times [27 ]. The glypican 1 ELISA was carried out according to manufacturer instructions (ELH-GPC1–1, Ray-BioTech) using a microplate reader, analyzing 1.38 × 1011 EVs per sample as published previously [27 ]. HDAC activity was measured with a homogenous fluorescence release HDAC deacetylase assay, incubating EVs (1 × 109 per reaction) with (AMC)-K(Ac)GL-Ac substrate to assess class I HDACs (HDACs 1, 2, 3, 6 and 10) in the presence of MS-275 to block HDAC 1, 2 and 3 activities [33 (link)] and activity was calculated as reported [34 (link)].

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.
