Immunocytochemistry was performed as previously described55 (link). The primary antibodies were Anti-Cytomegalovirus Antibody, clone 8B1.2 (1:2,000; Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), Anti-ENPP2 (ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase family member 2) antibody [5H3] (1:1,000; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), Anti-TGF-β1 antibody (1:100; Sigma-Aldrich), anti-αSMA (1:500; Sigma-Aldrich) and anti-fibronectin [IST-9] (1:400; Abcam). Alexa Fluor 488 and 594 secondary antibodies (1:1,000) were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). To assess the characteristic changes in hTM and SCE cells after exposure to the conditioned medium, we performed immunocytochemistry using rhodamine phalloidin (7:1,000, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and ZO-1 (1:100; Abcam), followed by Alexa Fluor 488 and 594 secondary antibodies (1:1000; Thermo Fisher Scientific). We further explored whether the changes induced by the conditioned medium could be suppressed by ROCK inhibitors Y27632 (Merck, Kenilworth, NJ, USA) and K115 (KOWA, Nagoya, Japan), as well as Ki16425 (Merck) and SB431542 (Fujifilm, Osaka, JAPAN).

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.
