Immunofluorescence Analysis of SMSC Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunofluorescence analysis, SMSCs were seeded onto 24-well plates at 1 × 104 cells per well and then treated with tFNAs (0, 250 nM). After 24 h of treatment, the cell samples were rinsed with PBS three times and fixed in cold 4% formaldehyde solution for 20 min. After 3 washes with PBS again, Triton X-100 (0.5%) was used to permeabilize the SMSCs for 30 min, and then, the samples were blocked with immune blocking solution (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) for 30 min. Fixed SMSCs that were rinsed with PBS were then incubated with anti-β-catenin (1:200, Abcam, Cambridge, England), anti-Lef-1 (1:200, Novus, NY, USA), anti-cyclin D1 (1:200, Novus, NY, USA), anti-phospho-Smad2 (1:2000, Cell Signaling Technology, MA, USA), and anti-phospho-Smad3 (1:200, Cell Signaling Technology, MA, USA) primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Fluorescence-conjugated secondary antibody was then combined with primary antibodies for 1 h at 37 °C. DAPI (1:200; Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was applied to stain the cell nucleus for 10 min, and phalloidin (1:60; Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to stain F-actin for 40 min. Finally, cell images were observed by fluorescence microscopy (Keyence, Osaka, Japan).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For preparation of whole-cell lysates, the cells were washed with ice-cold phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and lyzed for 30 min on ice in radio-Immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer with 150 mM NaCl as described.[7 (link)] Cell lysates were cleared at 20,000g for 10 min. After the adjustment of protein concentration, the lysates were boiled in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) sample loading buffer for 5 min and separated by SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The gels were blotted on a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Immobilon P; Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) and stained with the indicated first antibody [anti-phospho-Smad3 or anti-total-Smad3 (1:1000 dilution, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA)]. Antibody binding was detected with horseradish peroxidase-coupled secondary antibody followed by chemoluminescence detection (ECL Plus; Amersham Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden).

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.
