Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry of MPC1/MPC2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cytoblocks were prepared for ICC and DakoEnVision™ Flex+ (K8012; Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) was applied for ICC and IHC staining as previously described [43 (link)]. After deparaffinization, unmasking epitopes and blocking of peroxidase, the slides were then incubated with the following reagents: rabbit monoclonal antibody against human MPC1(HPA045119, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, diluted 1:500) and MPC2(ab111380, abcam, Cambridge, UK, diluted 1:500) at 4°C overnight. Negative controls were produced using the same concentration of non-immune rabbit IgG instead of the rabbit antibody to human MPC1 and MPC2.

Cells were firstly lysed in RIPA buffer supplemented with a cocktail of protease inhibitors. Cell lysates were centrifuged at 13000 g for 10 minutes at 4°C before aliquots of 20 μg proteins were resolved on SDS-PAGE, transferred onto polyvinylidenedifluoride transfer membrane(PVDF), and blotted for targeting antibodies:MPC1(HPA045119, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO,USA, dilution 1:1000), MPC2(ab111380, abcam, Cambridge, UK, dilution 1:1000), GLUT1(Rabbit mAb#12939, cell signaling technology, Leiden, Netherlands, dilution 1:1000), HK2 (ab104836, abcam, Cambridge, UK, dilution 1:1000), LDHA (ab47010, abcam, Cambridge, UK, dilution 1:1000) and α-Tubulin antibody(T9026, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA dilution 1:3000).

Prostate Cancer Cell Line Cultivation and Metabolic Marker Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The prostatic cancer cell line LNCaP was obtained from ATCC (American Type culture collection, USA) and maintained in our laboratory for the study. Cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Gibco™, 32404-014), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco™, 10500-064) with or without 4mM L-glutamine (Gibco™, 25030-081), 100 U/ml of penicillin and 100ug/ml streptomycin (15140122, Life Technologies) at 37°C, and 5% CO2. Anti-PDH antibody (cell signaling, C54G1), anti-Pyruvate Dehydrogenase E1-alpha subunit antibody (ab110334), monoclonal anti-GAPDH antibody (sigma, AB2302), anti-GLUT1 antibody (cell signaling, D3J3A), Anti-LDHA antibody (abcam, ab47010), anti-HK2 (abcam, ab104836), anti-GLS1 (sigma, WH0002744M1-100UG), anti-GLUD1 (Novus Biologicals, NBP1-54961), anti-MPC1 (Novus Biologicals, NBP1-91706) and anti-MPC2(abcam, ab111380) were applied in the current study. BPTES (SML0601), EGCG (03970590-10MG) and dimethyl-αKG (34963-1) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Sigma-Aldrich Norway AS Oslo, Norway). Annexin-V was purchased from Life technologies (Life technologies, A13199).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of BRP44L and BRP44 Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All tissue samples were fixed with 10% neutral formalin, embedding into paraffin sections (4 µm) after 24 h and were subsequently deparaffinized with dimethylbenzene and rehydrated through a concentration gradient of ethanol, prior to antigen retrieval in a pressure cooker (pH=6.0 sodium citrate acid repair solution, 121°C for 5 min. Samples were then washed in PBS 3 times, and endogenous peroxidase activity was inactivated in 3% hydrogen peroxide solution for 10 min at room temperature. Sections were incubated with an anti-BRP44L antibody (cat no., ab74871; dilution, 1:50; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and an anti-BRP44 antibody (cat no., ab111380; dilution, 1:50; Abcam) overnight at 4°C. Horseradish peroxidase-tagged antibody (cat no., PV-9000; ready-to-use; Beijing Zhongshan Jinqiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) was added and incubated for 30 min at room temperature, followed by positive staining with diaminobenzidine (0.05%) for 1 min at room temperature, and counterstaining with hematoxylin (0.1%) for 1 min at room temperature. The slides were observed and imaged under a positive optical microscope. The relative protein expression was quantified by Image-Pro Plus version 5.0 software (Media Cybernetics Inc., Rockville, MD, USA) and defined as follows: Density mean=density sum/area sum (15 (link)).

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.
