Pancreases were harvested from 8-week-old mice and flash frozen in liquid N2 immediately upon dissection. Frozen tissue was lysed in Bio-Plex Lysis Buffer (Bio-Rad, #171304011) supplemented with Factor I (Bio-Rad, #171304011), Factor II (Bio-Rad, #171304011), and cOmplete protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lysates were clarified by centrifugation and immunoblotting was performed as previously described.55 (link) The following primary antibodies were employed in this study: DCLK1 (Cell Signaling, #62257) and GAPDH (Cell Signaling, #D16H11). Immunoglobulin G horseradish peroxidase linked secondary antibodies were employed as appropriate.
Animal studies for immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting (Supplementary Fig. 8ab) were approved and performed in accordance with the IACUC at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. All experiments were adherent to institutional standards and were performed in pathogen-free animal facilities. Pdx1-Cre mice were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory (#014647); K-RasLSL-G12D (#01XJ6) and Tp53LSL-R172H (#01XM2) mice were obtained from the NCI Mouse Repository.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three individual strains of LSL-KrasG12D/+, Trp53flox/+, and Pdx-1-cre mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratory (Sacramento). We crossed and generated the LSL-KrasG12D/+;Trp53flox/+;Pdx-1-cre (KPCflox) mice in house. All animals were kept in specific pathogen-free housing with abundant food and water under guidelines approved by the Nihon University, School of Medical, Animal Care and Use Committee (AP15M001). At 3 months old, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with 40 mg/kg Indox or a vehicle (a mixture of DMSO/PEG400, 1:1 (v/v)) twice a week until the endpoint. The total pancreatic weight and tumor sizes were measured, and their volumes were calculated using the following formula: width x length x height. All samples were embedded in paraffin followed after fixing in 10% neutral buffered formalin.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pdx1-Cre mice (generated by Dr. Lowy, University of Cincinnati) were purchased from the Jackson laboratory (Bar Harbor, Maine). LSL-Trp53R172H and LSL-KrasG12D/+ mice were obtained from MMHCC, NCI/NIH. All of these genetically engineered mice were bred and genotyped for the presence of Kras, p53, and Cre [54 (link), 60 (link), 61 (link)]. Six-week-old breeding pairs of genetically engineered mice, including transgenic Pdx1-Cre, LSLTrp53 R172H, and LSL-KrasG12D mice were used for breeding. To produce compound transgenic Pankras/p53 mice, the double transgenic LSLKrasG12D/+-LSL-Trp53R172/+ mice were first generated, and then further mated with heterozygous Pdx1-Cre transgenic mice [61 (link)]. Pancreatic CSCs were isolated from the Pankras/p53 mice as we described elsewhere [54 (link)].

Male C57BL/6 mice (6–8 weeks old, 20–25 g weight) and male ICR mice (6–8 weeks old, 25–30 g weight) were purchased from the Model Animal Research Center of Nanjing University (Nanjing, China), where all animals were housed under specific pathogen–free (SPF) conditions. The IL37tg mice on a C57BL/6 background were from Cyagen Biosciences Inc. Briefly, human IL-37 cDNA (NM_014439.3) was cloned and then inserted downstream of the CMV promoter in pRP [Exp] vector (VB150824-10008) (20 (link), 24 (link)). Besides, Pdx1cre mice (International Mouse Strain Resource [IMSR] catalog JAX:014647, RRID: IMSR_JAX:014647, The Jackson Laboratory) and Gsdmdfl/fl (Model Animal Research Center of Nanjing University, Nanjing, China) were intercrossed to generate pancreatic GSDMD-specific knockout (Pdx1cre Gsdmdfl/fl, GsdmdΔPan) (8 (link)).
All animal experiments were conducted in accordance with the Principles of Laboratory Animal Care, and were approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Jinling Hospital, affiliated with Nanjing University.

The generation and use of mouse strains of Villin-Cre+;Klf4loxp/loxp and Villin-Cre+;Klf4+/+ were described previously (32 (link)). For genetically engineered mouse model of PDA progression, Pdx1-Cre mice (Stock Number: 014647, Jackson Laboratory) were across bred with LSL-KrasG12D/+ mice (Stock Number: 008180, Jackson Laboratory) to generate Pdx1-Cre;LSL-KrasG12D/+ mice (34 (link)). The mice were euthanized to harvest pancreas and liver tissues when they became old (>12 months) or very sick.

Pdx1-cre;LSL-KrasG12D Pancreatic Cancer Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 4-week old of LSL(lox-STOP-lox) KrasG12D mice on C57BL/6 background crossed with Pdx1-cre mice to generate the Pdx1-cre; LSL-KrasG12D mice. The KrasG12D mice are a G12D mutation that is introduced in exon 1 of the mice Kras allele and contains a STOP cassette flanked by loxP sites (lox-STOP-lox ; LSL) which can be removed by cre-recombinase to allow the expression of the mutated Kras allele. Pdx1-cre mice express cre-recombinase in pancreas under the control of pancreas specific pdx1 promoter. To generated the Pdx1-cre; LSL-KrasG12D mice, we used the LSL-KrasG12D mice crossed with Pdx1-cre transgenic mice. Both LSL-KrasG12D and Pdx1-cre mice were purchased from Jackson laboratory. The experimental protocols of this study were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of NHRI (approval number: NHRI-IACUC-102082-A).

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.
