HeLa and HCC94 cells transfected with NC-miR or miR-195-5p mimics were seeded into 24-well plates (5.0 × 105 cells/well). After 24 h, the cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min (at room temperature), permeabilized with 0.05% Triton X-100 and blocked with 5% normal goat serum (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) for 1 h (at room temperature). Next, the cells were incubated with primary antibody of MAP3K8 (Abcam, ab137589, concentration 1: 100, MA, USA) for 18 h at 4°C. Followed by that, the cells were washed three times with PBS, incubated with goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (Abcam, ab150077; 1:200; MA, USA) for 2 h at 37°C and stained with DAPI (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) at room temperature for 15 min. For detecting MAP3K8 expression in the tumor tissues, the tumor tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and 4-μm sections were also prepared. After being permeabilized with 0.05% Triton X-100, blocked with 5% normal goat serum, the sections were, respectively, incubated with primary antibody of MAP3K8 (Abcam, ab137589, concentration 1: 100, MA, USA) and goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab150080; 1:200; MA, USA). DAPI (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used for staining nucleus. The immunofluorescence signal was observed using a fluorescence microscope (×200, Olympus Company).

Western Blot Analysis of Signaling Proteins

Samples for Western blot analysis were generated by sonication of cells in RIPA buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Following centrifugation, supernatants were recovered, and proteins separated (25ug per lane) using precast NuPAGE 4–12% Bis-Tris gels (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). After transfer to membranes, immunoreactivity to MAP3K8 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK; #ab137589) pMEK (Abcam, #ab96379), pERK1/2 (Abcam, #ab47339) and GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, #8884) was determined. This was accomplished using appropriate secondary antibodies and SuperSignal ECL (ThermoFisher Scientific) using a Licor Odyssey Fc system. Western blots were imaged using Image J version 1.5 software (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/).

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on 4-μm-thick FFPE tissue sections, following heat-induced epitope retrieval (tris buffer, pH 8.5), using the following antibodies: rabbit anti-phospho-MEK1/2 (Ser221) monoclonal antibody (1:25 dilution; 16 min incubation; 2338; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), rabbit anti-MAP3K8 (amino acids 223–467) polyclonal antibody (1:600 dilution; 16 min incubation; ab137589; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). The results were scored as positive or negative, and the intensity of staining was recorded. Immunohistochemistry images were captured using NIS-Elements BR (4.30.02 64bit) software.

The tissues or cells were collected and lysed with RIPA lysis solution (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) and the total protein was extracted. Next, the protein (30 μg) underwent sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and then were transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes, sealed with 5% skimmed milk powder, and incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. On the next morning, the membranes were washed with TBST buffer and incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) -labeled anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (Abcam, ab6721, concentration 1: 1,000, MA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. After washing the membranes by TBST, ECL was added for brands exposure, and Image-J was applied to analyze OD value. Primary antibodies used in this study were as follows: E-cadherin (Abcam, ab40772, concentration 1: 1,000, MA, USA), Snail (Abcam, ab18203, concentration 1:1,000, MA, USA), Vimentin (Abcam, ab92547, concentration 1: 1,000, MA, USA), MAP3K8 (Abcam, ab137589, concentration 1: 1,000, MA, USA), p-ERK (Abcam, ab214362, concentration 1: 1,000, MA, USA), ERK (Abcam, ab17932, concentration 1: 1,000, MA, USA), GAPDH (Abcam, ab128915, concentration 1: 2,000, MA, USA).

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.
