Cell lysates for Western blot were obtained by incubating HEK293 (for uEV Western blot) and PC3 or DU145 (for cEV Western blot) cell pellets at a concentration of 2 × 10 (Hoshino et al., 2020 (link)) cells in 25 ul of lysis buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 0.15 M NaCl, 1% Triton X‐100) with 2% complete protease inhibitor (Roche) for 20 min on ice, followed by an 18,516×g centrifugation for 15 min at 4 °C to recover the supernatant. Both cell lysates and EV pellets (10 (Spinelli et al., 2021 (link)) particles) were mixed with Laemmli sample buffer (BioRad), without reducing agent. After boiling for 5 min at 95 °C, samples were loaded on a 4–15% Miniprotean TGX stain‐free gels (BioRad). Total proteins were imaged from the stain‐free gels with the ChemiDoc Touch Imager (BioRad). Transfer was performed on Immuno–Blot PVDF membranes (BioRad), with the Trans–Blot Turbo Transfer System (BioRad) during 7 min. Blocking was performed during 30 min with Blocking Reagent (Roche) in TBS 0.1% Tween. Primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4 °C and secondary antibodies during 1 h at room temperature (RT). Development was performed using either the Clarity Western ECL Substrate (BioRad) or the Immobilon Forte Western HRP substrate (Millipore), and the ChemiDoc Touch Imager (BioRad). Intensity of the bands was quantified using ImageJ.

Densities of the 1-ml fractions from the flotation centrifugation analyses were determined from three independent experiments by measuring the weight of three 100 µl subfractions from each fraction. The fractions were precipitated with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The SDS-PAGE gels were stained with Coomassie, Sudan black, or both and imaged using a ChemiDoc Touch imager (BioRad) or used for Western blotting. Polyclonal antibodies (pAb) against P12 (1:13,333; GeneCust) and phi6 (1:2500) and a monoclonal antibody against GFP (1:25,000; ab291, Abcam) were used as primary antibodies. HRP-labeled anti-rabbit pAb (1:125,000; Sigma Aldrich) or anti-mouse pAb (1:5000; PI-2000; Vector Laboratories Inc.) were used as secondary antibodies. Chemiluminescence was detected using a Western Lightning ECL Kit (Perkin-Elmer) and ChemiDoc Touch imager (BioRad) with 600 s of exposure time. Mass spectrometric analyses of P12 were performed in the Proteomics Unit of the University of Helsinki using liquid-chromatography–mass spectrometry × 2 (LC–MS/MS). Quantitative analyses of the EM thin sections was done using Aida Image Analyzer v 4.5.

Cells were fed every other day and images were taken using ChemiDoc Touch Imager (Bio-Rad) or CL1500 Imaging System (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Colony area was measured using the ImageJ software. Each experiment contained at least three replicates per condition, and every experiment was performed at least three times.

Samples were mixed with Laemmli sample buffer (Laemmli, 1970 ) and boiled for 3 min. Proteins were electrophoretically separated using SDS–PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose using a Transblot Turbo (BioRad, Hercules, CA), and immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies were used at 5 ng/ml, and immunoreactivity was detected with enhanced chemiluminescence (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) using the ChemiDoc Touch Imager (BioRad). Relative protein levels were determined by densitometric analysis of immunoreactive bands using the ChemiDoc imaging software or ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health).

Fresh frozen tissue lysis and Western blotting (WB) were performed as previously described [14 (link)]. The primary antibodies are provided in Additional file 1: Table S1, and many were previously tested in autopsy tissue [14 (link)]. WBs for each antibody were repeated at least twice, with similar results. The densitometric analysis was performed by scanning the X-ray films with optimal exposures on a ChemiDoc™ Touch imager (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). The bands were quantified by using Image Lab 6.0 software (Bio-Rad). Individual protein values were normalized to the corresponding actin or IDH1-R132H values, except for phosphoprotein values that were normalized to the corresponding unphosphorylated protein values. Minus values were manually adjusted as zero. Results were expressed as percent of the highest normalized values.

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.
