Western blotting was performed as previously described [32 (link)]. Targeted membranes were incubated with the antibodies for CTHRC1 (Abcam, USA), VEGFA (Abcam, USA) and Actin (Cell Signaling Technology, USA) in 5% milk/tris-buffered saline Tween-20 (TBST) at 4 °C overnight, and then were washed with TBST and incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology, USA) for 1 h with shaking. After enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) (Merck Millipore, Germany) reaction, the immunoreactive bands were observed through a Gel Imaging System (Syngene, USA).

Whole cell lysates were prepared using RIPA buffer supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Thermo, USA) and culture supernatants were concentrated using Microcon centrifugal filters (Millipore, USA). Western blot was performed as previously described [17 (link)]. Primary antibodies against the following proteins were used: CTHRC1 (ab192778, Abcam, USA), p-c-Raf (9427, CST, USA), p-MEK1/2 (9154, CST, USA), p-ERK1/2 (4370, CST, USA), ERK1/2 (4695, CST, USA), p-FRA-1 (5841, CST, USA), FRA-1 (5281, CST, USA), cyclinD1 (2978, CST, USA), snail1 (3879, CST, USA), and MMP14 (13130, CST, USA). α − Tubulin (T9026, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) was used as a loading control.

CTHRC1 and β-Catenin Expression Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blotting was performed as previously described [12 (link)]. The antibodies for CTHRC1 (Abcam, Ltd., USA), β-catenin, GAPDH and LaminB1 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) in 5% milk/TBST (tris-buffered saline Tween-20) were used. The signal was observed by using an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) plus kit (Milipore). The relative expression of each protein was determined using NIH Image J software. As for the immunofluorescence assay, cells cultured in the chamber slides were probed with CTHRC1 and β-catenin according to the manufacturer's instructions. The florescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-coupled and Rhodamine (Rhod)-coupled secondary antibodies were purchased from Molecular Probes. Treated cells were observed and pictured through an Olympus BX51 fluorescence microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

The following antibodies were used for WB and/or IF as indicated: SIL1 (Proteintech #24110-1-AP); ATF4 (Cell Signaling #11815); ATF6B (Proteintech #15794-1-AP); EIF2α (Santa Cruz #sc-11386); pho-EIF2α (Cell Signaling #3597s); PDI (Assay Design #SPA-891); BiP (BD #610979); ORP150 (Abcam #EP5891); LC3B (Cell Signaling #2775); NCL (Cell Signaling #87792S); NPM (Cell Signaling #3542S); CTHRC1 (Abcam #ab85739); Anti SQSTM1 (BD Bioscience #610833); LAMP1 (Abcam #ab25630); CNX (Cell Signaling #2679S); NES (Millipore #AB5922); CAV-1 (Cell Signaling #3238); and GAPDH (Santa Cruz #sc-32233). Hoechst #33342 from Life Technology was used to counterstain nuclei. For PCR amplification of the spliced and unspliced form of human XBP1, the following primers were used: FW 5′-AGCTCAGACTGCCAGAGATCG-3′; REV 5′-AATCCATGGGGAGATGTTCTA-3′ [35 (link)]. Powders, buffers, and other commonly used reagents were supplied by Sigma unless otherwise noted and were of analytical grade or higher.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of CTHRC1 and Integrin β3 in Tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumors were collected to fixed and embedded to be made into paraffin sections. Then sections were incubate with primary antibodies against CTHRC1 (Abcam, London, UK) and integrin β3 (Abclonal, Wuhan, China) at 4 °C overnight which were followed by the incubation of the corresponding secondary antibodies and DAB chromogenic reaction and HE staining [38 (link)].
Membranous PSMA quantification was determined by modified H-Score (H-SCORE = ∑ (pi × i) = (percentage of weak intensity area ×1)+(percentage of moderate-intensity area ×2)+(percentage of strong intensity area ×3), to determine the overall percentage of mPSMA positivity across the entire stained tumor sample, yielding a range from 0 to 300 [39 ].

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.
