Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FFPE Sections (4-μm thick) were mounted and routinely stained with H&E for histopathological examination (Supplementary Fig. S1a). Multiplex immunofluorescence was applied to identify the expression patterns of key transcriptomic regulators of SCLC, including ASCL1 (Abcam, ab211327), NEUROD1 (Abcam, ab60704) and POU2F3 (Novus Biologicals, NBP1–83966). Multiplex immunofluorescence staining was performed using a PANO 7-plex IHC kit (Panovue, Cat# 0004100100), as previously described.65 In brief, the FFPE sections were subjected to deparaffinization, rehydration, and antigen retrieval according to the protocol supplied by the manufacturer. After blocking, the sections were incubated with a primary antibody and then a secondary antibody (polymer HRP-anti-mouse/Rabbit IgG). Other primary antibodies were sequentially applied by repeating the previous procedures. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich, D9542) after all the human antigens had been labeled. Multispectral images were obtained by scanning the stained slides with the Mantra System (PerkinElmer, Waltham, Massachusetts, US) and analyzed using inForm image analysis software (PerkinElmer, Waltham, Massachusetts, US) (Fig. 4c).

For immunoblotting, cell protein extracts were prepared following standard procedures in RIPA buffer in the presence of protease inhibitors (Complete, Roche Diagnostics) and phosphatase inhibitors (PhosStop, Roche Diagnostics). After quantitation with the Micro‐BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 25 µg of protein was separated by SDS–PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes (Immobilon‐P, Millipore). After using appropriated primary and secondary antibodies, blots were developed by a peroxidase reaction using ECL detection system (Amersham‐G.E. Healthcare). Antibodies used were Recombinant Anti‐NeuroD1 antibody [EPR4008] (ab109224; 1:1,000 dilution), Anti‐MASH1/Achaete‐scute homolog 1 (Abcam ab211327; 1:1,000 dilution), Mouse Anti‐RNAPII 7c2 (IGBMC Antibody facility; 1:1,000 dilution), and Anti‐Phospho‐Serine 2 RNAPII (Abcam ab5095; 1:1,000 dilution). Anti α‐Tubulin (SIGMA T5168) (Novus Biologicals hVIN‐1 NB600‐1293; 1:1,000 dilution) was used as loading control. All the blots are representative of at least three independent experiments.

Lungs were perfused with 10% formalin, stored in fixative overnight, and embedded in paraffin. Four-micron thick sections of formalin fixed tissue were used for immunoperoxidase analysis after baking at 60 °C for 1 hour, deparaffinization and rehydration (100% xylene X4 for 3 minutes each, 100% ethanol X4 for 3 minutes each and running water for 5 minutes). The sections were blocked for peroxidase activity with 3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol for 10 minutes and washed under the running water for 5 minutes. The sections with pressure cooked (Biocare Medical) antigen retrieval were at 120°C i n Citrate Buffer (Dako Target Retrieval Solution, S1699). The slides were cooled for 15 minutes, and transferred to Tris buffer saline (TBS). The sections were incubated with rabbit monoclonal anti-MYC (Abcam Cat#ab32072; 1:900) and or rabbit monoclonal anti-ASCL1 antibody (Abcam Cat#ab211327; 1:100) was incubated 40 min room temperature. The secondary antibody was used Leica Novolink Polymer (Cat#RE7161) 30 min incubation. All the incubations were carried out in a humid chamber at room temperature. The slides were rinsed with TBS in between incubation. The sections were developed using 3,3’-diaminobenzidine (DAB) as substrate and counter-stained with Mayer’s Hematoxylin.

Cells were lysed on ice with RIPA buffer (Sigma) supplemented with 1X protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche). Proteins were separated on SDS-PAGE and immmunoblotted with rabbit anti-ASCL1 (1:1000, ab211327, Abcam), mouse anti-Rb (1:1000, 9309, Cell Signalling), rabbit anti CDKN1C (1:1000, 2557, Cell Signalling) and mouse anti-tubulin (1:1000, 66301, Proteintech). Secondary antibodies were horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated (Amersham) and were detected with ECL Prime Western Blot Detection Kit (GE Healthcare).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Tumor Samples

Tumor tissues were fixed in 4% formaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. Sections (5 mm) were deparaffinized and heat antigen-retrieved in citrate buffer (pH 6.4). Primary antibody staining was performed by incubating overnight at 4 °C, and endogenous peroxidase (HRP) activity was blocked by treating the sections with 3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol. Indirect IHC was performed with antispecies-specific biotinylated secondary antibodies, followed by avidin-horseradish peroxidase and developed using DAB color substrates (Nichirei Biosciences Inc., Tokyo, Japan). The sections were counterstained with haematoxylin. The following primary antibodies were used: Anti-MASH1/Achaete-scute homolog 1 (Abcam, ab211327, 1:100); anti-NOTCH1 (Abcam, ab52627, 1:100); anti-NOTCH2 (Abcam, ab8926, 1:100).

Protein was extracted by resuspending cells in RIPA buffer and incubating for 20 min. Debris was removed by centrifuging at 16,000xg for 10 min. Protein lysates were separated on a BisTris gel (Invitrogen), transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane and blocked using 5% milk. Primary antibodies were diluted in 1% milk and incubation took place overnight at 4 °C. Primary antibodies were as follows; ASCL1 (ab211327, abcam), CMYC (ab32072, abcam), GATA3 (D13C9, Cell Signalling Technologies), NMYC (9405, Cell Signalling Technologies), PHOX2B (sc-376997, Santa Cruz), α-Tubulin (66031, ProteinTech), GAPDH (60004, ProteinTech) and Histone H3 (ab1791, abcam). Secondary antibodies were diluted in TBST and incubation took place at room temperature for 1 hour; anti-Mouse (NA931, GE Healthcare) anti-Rabbit (NA934, GE Healthcare)
To analyse protein content in different parts of the cell, the Subcellular Fractionation Kit was used and followed according to manufacturers instructions (78840, Thermo Fisher). Briefly, a fresh cell pellet is resuspended in specific buffers to sequentially extract the cytoplasmic, membrane, soluble nuclear and chromatin bound proteins. Protein isolated was subject to western blot analysis (above).

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.
