Skin tissues were homogenized with CelLyticTM MT Cell Lysis Reagent (Sigma-Aldrich). Ten micrograms of the protein lysate was resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and probed with antibodies against PCNA (1:1,000; ab29, Abcam), Cyp1a1 (1:1,000; #871, Daiichi Pure Chemical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), Cyp1b1 (1:1,000; ab185954, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), Actin (1:1,000; sc1616-HRP, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), Pan-Ras (1:1000; Component of STA-440, Cell Biolabs, Inc., San Diego, CA), EGF receptor (1:1000; #2232, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA), phosphorylated (Y1086) EGF receptor (1:1,000; ab32086, Abcam), MEK1 (1:1,000; ab32091, Abcam), phosphorylated (E342) MEK1 (1:1,000; ab396379, Abcam), Cleaved Caspase-3 (1:5000; #9661, Cell Signaling Technology), Flag-M2 (1:1000; F3165, Sigma-Aldrich), and p16INK4a (1:500; sc1207, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Specific antigen-antibody complexes were visualized using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies and Chemi-Lumi One (Nacalai Tesque) or ImmunoStar reagent (Wako, Osaka, Japan).

The proteins were isolated with RIPA, which were further transferred to a PVDF membrane (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Then, the membranes were incubated with antibodies against MeCP2 (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab253197), CYP1B1 (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab185954), Wnt4 (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab262696), β‐catenin (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab32572), and β‐actin antibody (Abcam, 1:10,000, ab8226) overnight, then hybridized with a secondary antibody (Abcam, 1:10,000, ab7090) for 60 min. Blots were visualized by the GEL imaging system (Bio‐Rad) and subsequently analyzed with ImageJ software.

Immunostaining of CYP1B1 in BPH Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunostaining of CYP1B1 was performed on specimens of BPH. Slides consisting of 4 μm slices of tissue underwent the protocol of the UltraVision Detection System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) according to manufacturer's instructions. After 12‐hour incubation with rabbit monoclonal antibody for CYP1B1 (1:500 dilution, #ab185954, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), 3, 3′‐diaminobenzidine (DAB) was added as chromogen followed by counterstaining with haematoxylin. Cellular expression levels were analysed by the intensity of positive cells using ImageJ software (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij) and ranked on an overall scale from 0 to 3, with 0 indicating the absence of staining; 1, weak staining; 2, moderate staining; and 3, strong staining.

COMT Expression in Prostate Pathologies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunostaining of COMT was performed on specimens of BPH and prostate cancer (patient characteristics in Table 1). Slides consisting of tissue sections underwent the protocol of the UltraVision Detection System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) according to manufacturer’s instructions. After 12‐hour incubation with rabbit monoclonal antibody for COMT (1:500 dilution, #ab185954, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), 3, 3′‐diaminobenzidine (DAB) was added as chromogen followed by counterstaining with hematoxylin. Cellular expression levels were analyzed by the intensity of positive cells using Fiji ImageJ [21 (link)]. The IHC images of normal prostate tissues were obtained from the Protein Atlas database (http://www.proteinatlas.org) [22 (link)].

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.
