Cells were incubated for 48 h in the presence of RAM2061. PI (bortezomib or carfilzomib) was added either concurrently or sequentially (24 h after RAM2061). Cells were washed with PBS and incubated with calreticulin polyclonal antibody (1:200, Invitrogen PA3-900), followed by secondary anti-rabbit Alexafluor594. Ten-thousand cell events were recorded using a BD LSRII flow cytometer. FlowJo software was used for all data analysis.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Co-IP experiments were performed to determine the interaction between RCN2 and CALR using a Co-IP assay kit (#26,146; Thermo Fisher Scientific). CNE2 and 5-8 F cells were lysed in 500 µL solubilization Co-IP buffer. We use 10–50 µg of protein for positive control. Then, 30 µL of RCN2 (10193-2-AP; Proteintech, Illinois, USA) or 26 µL of CALR (PA3-900; Invitrogen) were added to the rest of the supernatant for batch binding. After the beads were collected and washed 5 times, we eluted the beads with 200 µL of spent regenerant.

Cells were grown to 50-70% confluency on coverslips in 24-well plates and subjected then to different experimental immunofluorescence analyses. To assess the intracellular uptake and trafficking of nanosystems, cells were treated with 0.44 mg mL -1 PSN-pDNA (TopFluor-labelled PSN/Cy5-labelled pDNA) for different time points. Specifically, to test the intracellular trafficking, cells were treated with PSN-pDNA for 4 h then medium was replaced, and cells were cultured on complete medium for 2 and 4 h. After, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min at RT followed by 5 min permeabilization with 0.1% Triton™ X-100. Then, coverslips were incubated with corresponding primary antibodies, caveolin-1 (3267, Cell Signalling Technology, Massachusetts, USA), clathrin heavy chain (ab21679, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), EEA1
(3288, Cell Signaling Technology), LAMP1 (9091, Cell Signaling Technology), calreticulin (PA3-900, Invitrogen) or GM130 (610822, BD Biosciences). After, incubation with secondary antibody was carried out using Alexa Fluor 546-labelled (A-11035, Invitrogen) for 1 h at RT. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (D1306, Invitrogen). Images were captured on a LSM710 confocal microscope (ZEISS, Oberkochen, Germany). The analysis and quantification were done using ImageJ software.

Cells were lysed by ice-cold RNA-IP lysis buffer (150 mM KCl, pH 7.4 25 mM Tris, 5 mM EDTA and 0.35% Triton X-100) containing 1× protease inhibitor cocktail. Protein concentrations were determined using Bradford assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lysates containing 400 µg total protein were pre-cleaned with PureProteome™ Protein A/G Magnetic Beads (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) at 4 °C for 1 h. The pre-cleaned lysates were incubated with rabbit anti-CRT antibody (PA3-900, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) at 4 °C overnight. The protein–antibody complex was pulled down by magnetic beads at 4 °C for 4 h. Then, all the beads were collected and washed with ice-cold RNA-IP lysis buffer for three times, followed by three washes with NT2 buffer (50 mM pH 7.4 Tris, 150 mM NaCl and 0.05% NP-40). For Western blot, the beads were mixed with sample buffer and then boiled at 100 °C for 15 min for protein elution. For real-time PCR, beads were subjected to RNA extraction by TRIzol reagent.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CRT released in to 1 ml of culture media from ~ 1 × 105 cells treated with DX and/or TG with or without TUDCA was measured by ELISA [30 (link)]. Briefly, 153 μl of cell-free supernatant was placed into wells of a 96-well ELISA plate with 17 μl of 10 × carbonate buffer, pH 9.6. The protein supernatants were left to bind at 4 °C overnight. The plates were then washed four times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.1% v/v Tween 20 (PBST). Remaining binding sites were blocked with 5% v/v BSA in PBST at 37 °C for 30 min. Wells were washed a further four times with PBST. Next 100 μl of 1:2000 dilution of rabbit anti-human CRT antibody (Thermofisher PA3-900) diluted in PBST was added to each well for 2 h in 37 °C. The wells were washed again as described above, and a 100 μl of 1:2000 dilution of secondary anti-rabbit HRP-conjugated antibody was added to the wells and the plate incubated 1 h in 37 °C. The reaction was developed for 15 min at RT in the dark and was terminated by adding 50 μl 2N H2SO4 to each well. The optical density at 450 nm (OD45nm) of each sample was measured on a BMG Labtech FLUROstar™ plate reader. A CRT standard curve was generated from known concentrations of CRT (Fig. S3).

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.
