Immunocytochemical Staining and Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunocytochemical staining (ICC) was performed on the cell-bearing coverslips obtained from each of the experimental groups by the method described elsewhere (18 (link)). The antibodies used were: DNMT1 (Bioss Inc., Beijing, China; 1:400), DNMT3A (Bioss. Inc., Beijing, China; 1:400), DNMT3B (Bioss. Inc., Beijing, China; 1:400), and CRABP2 (Proteintech, Chicago, IL, USA; 1:150). The color reaction was performed by using 3,30-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB). According to the labeling intensity, the staining results were evaluated by two independent researchers and scored as negative (–) if no immunolabeling was observed in target cells, weakly positive (+) if the labeling was faint, moderately positive (++), and strongly positive (> ++) when the labeling was stronger or distinctly stronger than (++).

The specific method of western blot was consistent with our previous research [31 (link)]. Cell lysates were prepared using RIPA lysis buffer (Bimake, Houston, Texas, USA), and the proteins in cell lysates were separated using 10% SDS–PAGE and transferred into PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). After being blocked with skimmed dry milk, PVDF membranes were incubated overnight with primary antibodies of CRABP2 (Proteintech, Chicago, Illinois, USA) and β-Actin (Santa Cruz, Dallas, Texas, USA). Later, Immobilon Western chemiluminescent reagents (Millipore, billerica, MA, USA) were used to detect proteins on the membranes.

Immunoprecipitation and Western Blot

Proteins extract were obtained from immunoprecipitation lysis buffer [NaCl (150 mM), NP-40 (0.5%), Tris-HCl (pH = 8.0), glycerol (20 mM, 20%)] containing phosphatase inhibitors and protease inhibitor (Roche, NJ, USA) and then were centrifuged 20 min (12,000 rpm, 4 °C). Thermo Scientific Pierce Co-IP kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used for Co-IP experiments. These obtained proteins were tested by SDS-PAGE (10%) and immunoblotted with Lats1 (Cell Signaling Technology) and CRABP2 (Proteintech) antibodies as Western blotting analysis.

Western Blotting of CRABP2, FABP5, RAR-β, PPAR-β/δ

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blotting was conducted using antibodies against CRABP2 (Proteintech, Chicago, IL, USA; 1:200), FABP5 (Proteintech, Chicago, IL, USA; 1:200), RAR-β (Bioss. Inc., Beijing, China; 1:150), PPAR-β/δ (Bioss. Inc., Beijing, China; 1:200), pro-caspases-3, and active-caspases-3 (Abcam Inc., Cambridge, UK; 1:500 and 1:500). The experiment was performed by the method described elsewhere [15 (link)]. Briefly, the sample proteins (20 µg/well) were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Amersham, Buckin ghamshire, UK). The membrane was blocked in 5% skimmed milk (Sigma-Aldrich) Tris-buffered saline (TBS-T) (10 mM Tris–HCl, pH 8.0, 0.5% Tween 20 and 150 mM NaCl) at 4 °C overnight. After three washes with TBS-T, the membrane was incubated for 3 h with the primary antibody at room temperature, followed by 1 h incubation with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (Zymed Lab Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA). The enhanced chemiluminescence system (Roche, Penzberg, Germany) was used to detect the bound antibody. The labeling signal was removed with a stripping buffer (62.5 mM Tris–HCl, pH 6.7, 100 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and the membrane was reprobed with another antibody until all the parameters were examined.

Total protein extracted from cell pellets or tissue samples were firstly quantified using the Pierce® BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Scientific) and then 80 μg protein were loaded on the SDS-PAGE gel for electrophoresis. Afterwards, the protein were transferred to the nitrocellulose membranes (NC, millipore), which were then blocked with 5% non-fat milk and incubated with the indicated primary antibodies, namely GAPDH (Proteintech, 60004-1-AP), β-actin (Sigma, A1978), Vimentin (Cell Signaling Technology, #5741), CRABP2 (Proteintech, 10225-1-AP), E-caderin (Abcam, ab76055), at 4°C overnight. The next day, the membranes were incubated with appropriate secondary antibodies conjugated with fluorescence [Licor, 926–32210 (Mouse) or 926-32211(Rabbit)]. Finally, the membranes were visualized using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (Licor).

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.
