The HUVECs on Flat, HP1, HP2, and HP3 GHS for 2 days were washed twice with PBS and disrupted with 1 × cell lysis buffer (9803, Cell Signaling Technology) containing 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (P7626, Sigma). A quantitative analysis of the samples was performed using the Bradford assay dye reagent (500–0006, Bio-Rad). The sample protein (10 μg) was boiled in 1 × loading dye for 5 min and subjected to electrophoresis in a 10% polyacrylamide gel with sodium dodecyl sulfate. After transfer to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (ISEQ. 00010, Millipore), the membranes were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin containing 1 × TBST (a mixture of Tris-buffered saline and Tween 20; WH400028806, 3 M) at RT for 1 h. The membranes were incubated with anti-ROCK1 (1:1000; ab45171, Abcam), anti ROCK2 (1:1000; ab71598, Abcam), and anti-GAPDH (1:2000; G8795, Sigma) antibodies at RT for 2 h. The membranes were then washed three times with TBST and incubated with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (1:3000; Santa Cruz) in TBST at RT for 1 h. Chemiluminescence was visualized with the ECL Plus reagent (32132, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and recorded on X-ray film.

Lung adenocarcinoma cells were harvested and extracted using radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). The extracted cells were boiled in loading buffer, and then 12% to 15% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels were used to separate the equal amount of cell extracts. Then, the isolated protein samples were transferred onto the polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. According to the instructions, the membranes were cultivated with the primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, followed by secondary antibodies at room temperature for 2 h. An enhanced chemiluminescence Western blot detection kit was adopted to visualize the immunoreactive bands based on the kit instructions. The GAPDH antibody was utilized for normalization. The primary antibodies are exhibited as follows: RhoA (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, ab54835); rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1 (ROCK1, Abcam, ab45171); rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2, Abcam, ab71598); GAPDH (Abcam, ab8245).

Formalin-fixed, paraffin wax-embedded blocks from each case were selected for immunohistochemical studies using the antibodies against ROCK1 and ROCK2. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained lymph node tissue slides were used for immunohistochemistry. Control tissue sections were made from the lymph node biopsies of the healthy subjects.

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.
