Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunoblotting was exercised to examine the expression of Hh signaling pathway-related markers in HCC cells according to standard protocols as described previously.18 (link) Protein was harvested using radio immunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer, and a bicinchoninic acid assay was applied to determine the protein concentration. Next, we separated equal amount of protein using 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred the protein to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. After blocking with 1.5% skimmed milk for 1 h at room temperature, membranes were incubated with the primary antibodies at 4°C overnight and with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies. Membranes were developed using a chemiluminescent substrate. The antibodies were used as follows: Gli1 (1:200, ab49314, Abcam), Gli2 antibodies (1:500, ab26056) and Gli3 antibodies (1:500, ab6050) and the secondary antibodies (1:50,000, ab7090).

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on 4-μm TMA sections using a Ventana BenchMark XT Staining systems (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The primary antibodies used are as follows: anti-GLI1 (Cell signaling, #3538), anti-GLI2 (Abcam, ab26056), anti-PTCH1 (Abcam, ab53715), anti-PTCH2 (Abcam, ab238338), anti-SHH (Abcam, ab53281), and anti-SMO (Abcam, ab236465). GLI1 and GLI2 were evaluated for cytoplasmic and nuclear stain, while PTCH1, PTCH2, SHH, and SMO were evaluated for cytoplasmic stain. IHC was scored from 0 to 3 according to the stain intensity because a majority of cases showed a diffuse staining pattern.

Total protein extracts were harvested and subjected to WB as described previously [23 (link)]. Primary antibodies against the following proteins were used for WB: GLI2 (ab26056; Abcam), PTCH1 (ab55629; Abcam), FOXM1 (sc-376,471; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA), TPX2 (12,245; Cell Signaling Technology), and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (MAB374; Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). This was followed by incubation with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies, namely normal goat anti-mouse IgG (31,430; Thermo Scientific Pierce) or normal goat anti-rabbit IgG (31,460; Thermo Scientific Pierce), and the membranes were probed with SuperSignal™ West Femto Maximum Sensitivity Substrate ECL (34,095; Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc). The immunoblot films were digitalized with Epson V700 scanner, and intensity of major bands were quantitated using Image J (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). Each experiment was repeated at least thrice.

Collected small vesicles were resolved in 1.5x SDS sample buffer. Cultured cells were also lysed with the same buffer. Extracted proteins were denatured at 95 °C for 5 min. Proteins were separated with SDS-PAGE, and transferred to PVDF membrane (Millipore). The membrane was blocked with 10% goat serum or 5% bovine serum albumin. The blocked membrane was incubated with primary antibodies in the blocking solution at 4 °C overnight. Primary antibodies used were as follows: rabbit anti-Ift88 (1:2000; ProteinTech, 13967-1-AP); mouse anti-Kif3A (1:2000; BD Transduction, 611508); goat anti-Gli3 (1:200; R&D Systems, AF3690); rabbit anti-Gli2 (1:1000; Abcam, ab26056); rabbit anti-Sufu (1:2500; as reported in (Humke et al., 2010 (link))); rabbit anti-Arl13b (1:1000; ProteinTech, 17711-1-AP); rabbit anti-actin (1:2000; Sigma, A2066); rabbit anti-Ift122 (1:2000; ProteinTech, 19304-1-AP); rabbit anti-Ift140 (1:2000; ProteinTech, 17460-1-AP); mouse anti-α-tubulin (1:10000; Sigma, T9026); mouse anti-GAPDH (1:2000; Millipore, MAB374). The primary antibodies were labeled with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson Immuno Lab). Signals were developed with enhanced chemiluminescent substrate (GE) and detected with a cooled CCD camera system, LAS-3000 mini (Fuji film). Band intensities were quantified with free software, ImageJ.

To detect the expression of Sufu in the wild type and Sufu mutant limb buds, the samples with horizontal paraffin sections were subjected to immunohistochemical analysis with Sufu antibody (1:200) according to the method depicted previously [35 (link)]. For immunoblot analysis, whole cell protein lysates were prepared from dissected embryonic limb buds at embryonic day 10.25 (E10.25), E10.5, and E11.5. 40 μg of protein lysates were run on a 7.5% PAGE gel and transferred onto membrane for blot analysis as described previously [35 (link)]. Sufu antibody (1:1000) and Gli2 antibody (1:1000) were purchased from Abcam (ab52913 and ab26056, respectively). Gli3 antibody (1:1000) was from R&D System (AF3690). The gray values of immunoblot bands were evaluated with Image-Pro Plus software (version 6.0). The relative expression level of a protein was calculated by dividing its gray value by that of the corresponding reference protein. The significance of expression differentiation between wild type and mutant samples was analyzed with Student’s t test.

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.
