Prostate lobes were separated by microdissection, and embedded in paraffin for sectioning 24 (link). After antigen retrieval in hot citrate buffer, sections were blocked in 5% of normal horse serum and 1% of normal goat serum, and subjected to immunohistochemistry staining using the ABC Elite Kit and the DAB Kit (Vector) according to the manufacturers’ recommendations. The following antibodies were used: Ki-67 (ab15580, 1:600) from Abcam; ATF3 (Santa Cruz sc-188, 1:200), AR (sc-816, 1:200), and p63 (sc-8430, 1:200) from Santa Cruz; p-AKT S473 (#4060, 1:200), p-AKT T308 (#2965,1:200), AKT (#4691, 1:200), p-S6 (#2211, 1:400), S6 (#2217, 1:200), cleaved caspase-3 (#9661, 1:300), and Pten (#9188, 1:100)from Cell Signaling; MMP2 (NB200-193, 1:200) from Novus; and MMP-9 (ab137867, 1:1000) from Abcam. For α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) staining, sections were incubated with alkaline phosphatase (AP)-conjugated anti-α-smooth muscle actin antibody (Sigma, 1:600) followed by detection of AP activity using the SIGMAFAST Fast Red TR/Naphthol AS-MX tablets (F4523, Sigma) according to the supplier’s protocol. For quantifying IHC staining intensity, random microscopic fields were captured and digitized by a CCD camera (Olympus). Signal intensity was determined using the Image-Pro Plus software and presented as integrated optical density (IOD).

Immunohistochemical studies were conducted as previously described [26 (link)]. Antihuman polyclonal rabbit IgG served as a negative control. The antibodies used were Ki67 (MIB-1,DAKO; dilution 1:100), p53 (sc-126, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, dilution 1:200), MDM2 (18–2403, Clone IF2, Invitrogen; dilution 1:25), MDM4 (MDMX Abcam 76362; dilution 1:2000), p14ARF (clone 4C6/4 MAB 3782; Chemicon International; dilution 1:250), AR (sc-816, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, dilution 1:500). The degree of staining was evaluated blindly in a semiquantitative fashion by a pathologist (F.U.M. and A.D.B.) noting both the intensity of staining as well as the percentage of cells exhibiting that intensity in the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The intensity of the staining was scored as no staining (0), weak (1), intermediate (2), and strong (3) staining. The composite score was the number of cells staining multiplied by the intensity of staining.

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.
