Protein concentrations were determined using a BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Equal amounts of protein were loaded on a 10% or 12% SDS-gel, resolved using SDS-PAGE and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (AmershamTM ProtranTM; Cytiva, Korea). Membranes containing transferred proteins were incubated with antibodies against cyclin-D1 (1:1,000, Cat. No. 2978; Cell Signaling Technology), cyclin-D3 (1:1,000, Cat. No. 2936; Cell Signaling Technology), p18 (1:1,000, Cat. No. 2896; Cell Signaling Technology), p21 (1:1,000, Cat. No. 2947; Cell Signaling Technology), and β-actin (1:5,000, Cat. No. A2066; Sigma-Aldrich) overnight at 4°C. The following day, membranes were washed with PBS-Tween and incubated for 1 h at room temperature with the appropriate peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA). Membranes were then washed with PBS-Tween and signals were visualized using EZ-Western Lumi Pico solution (DoGenBio). Digital imaging was performed using imageQuant LAS4000 (Cytiva).

Stool proteins (50 μg) were transferred in duplicates onto a nitrocellulose membrane pore size 0.45 μm (AmershamTMProtranTM, Cytiva, Marlborough, MA, USA), using a Hybri-slot apparatus (21052-014; Gibco BRL, Life Technologies, Waltham, MA, USA) under a stabilized vacuum of −0.2 bar. Proteins extracted from T-antigen expressingT24 GCNT1 KO cells were used as positive controls, whereas BSA was used as a negative control. Protein loads were determined by Ponceau S. Nonspecific bindings were blocked with a Carbo-Free Blocking Solution for 1.5 h at RT. Subsequently, the T-antigen expression was evaluated using biotinylated PNA (VerctorLabs, Newark, CA, USA) at a dilution of 1:10,000 in a mixture of 50% CarboFree and 50% PBS 1x for 1 h at RT. Membranes were washed with PBS-T (PSB with 1% Tween 20) and incubated with the VECTASTAIN® Elite ABD-HRP Reagent (1:10; Vector Laboratories, Newark, CA, USA) for 15 min at RT. The Amersham ECL Prime Detection Reagent was used as a developing reagent. Data analysis was performed through Image Lab Software (version 6.0.1) (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) in a ChemiDoc XRS (Bio-Rad, CA, USA).

Western Blot Analysis of Tumor Cell Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For western blotting, tumour cells were washed and lysed with CellLytic M (Sigma-Aldrich) containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors. The lysate was cleared by centrifugation at 15,000 rpm for 15 min and denatured at 95 °C for 5 min. The lysate was stored at −80 °C until immunoblot analysis. Proteins were separated by electrophoresis using a NuPAGE 4–12% Bis-Tris Gel (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and transferred to Amersham Protran (Cytiva). After blocking the membrane with 5% skim milk for 1 h, it was incubated overnight at 4 °C with specific primary antibodies. After hybridisation with secondary antibodies, the protein bands were visualised using Amersham ECL western blotting detection reagent (Cytiva). The antibodies used in this study are listed as follows; anti-EPCAM (#ab223582, Abcam), anti-SNAP25 (#5308, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-Actin (#MA5-11869, Invitrogen), anti-rabbit IgG (#7074, Cell Signaling Technology), and anti-mouse IgG (#7076, Cell Signaling Technology).

Western Blot Protein Extraction and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total protein was extracted in RIPA buffer (1.8 mM NaH2PO4, 8.4 mM Na2HPO4, 0.1% (w/v) SDS, 1.0% (v/v) TritonX 100, 0.1 M NaCl, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 1 mM PMSF) supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Equal amounts of protein measured by a BCA protein assay kit were separated by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Amersham Protran®, Cytiva, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany). Blots were developed by enhanced chemiluminescence reaction (ECLTM Western blotting Detection reagents, Cytiva). Equal loading was confirmed by reprobing blots with β-actin, GAPDH, or hsc70 antibodies. To avoid membrane striping whenever possible, blots were cut and each strip was incubated with different antibodies to detect several proteins in the same membrane. Proteins from at least three different animals per experimental group were isolated and analyzed by Western blot. For protein quantification, Image J software 1.54 was used; each blot was normalized against β-actin, GAPDH, or hsc70, and plotted as fold change compared to controls.

Total proteins were harvested using Laemmli buffer (Sigma-Aldrich) and heated at 95°C for 5 min. Samples were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) in 15% polyacrylamide gel and transferred to 0.2-μm pore nitrocellulose membrane (Amersham Protran, Cytiva). Membrane was blocked in 5% low-fat milk PBS with 0.1% Tween 20. Following blocking, the membrane was incubated in 1:2,000 dilution of primary antibodies specific for CstC (Cat # ABC20, Sigma-Aldrich) and β-tubulin (Cat # ab6046, Abcam) overnight. Membranes were washed in PBS-Tween and incubated with secondary horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody (Cat # 1706515, Bio-Rad) for 1 h. Bands were visualized by chemiluminescence using NZY Supreme ECL HRP substrate (Cat # MB19301, NZYTech) in a ChemiDoc XRS (Bio-Rad). Quantification of band intensity was performed on ImageJ software.

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.
