Rat carotid arteries were harvested 24 h after injury and stained for CX3CL1 to determine presence of the protein. Primary antibody (rabbit polyclonal to CX3CL1, Abcam: ab25088) and secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit IgG highly cross-adsorbed Alexa 647) dilutions were 1:200 and 1:3000, respectively. Aortic roots of mice fed a high-fat diet for 16 weeks were stained for CX3CR1 to determine presence of the protein in the atherosclerotic plaque. Primary antibody (rabbit polyclonal to CX3CR1, Abcam: ab8021) and secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit IgG Alexa 555, Invitrogen or Alexa 647 highly cross-adsorbed, Invitrogen A32733) dilutions were 1:200 and 1:3000, respectively. Quantification of CX3CL1 staining data are presented as number of fluorescent pixels, which are the average of 5 images per animal, n = 3 animals per treatment group. Fluorescent imaging of CX3CR1 in arteries from atherosclerotic mice was obtained but not quantified due to low sample numbers. Results are expressed as mean number of fluorescent pixels ± the standard error of the mean (SEM).
Tissue sections from LDL KO mice were stained for CX3CR1 (Abcam ab8021) using primary dilution of 1:200 and secondary goat anti-rabbit Alexa 555 dilution of 1:3000 (Life Technologies A21425). Nuclear staining was carried out using DAPI at 1:500 dilution. Digital images were acquired as mentioned above.

For the Western blot analyses, RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitors and phosphatase inhibitors (Roche) was used to prepare whole‐cell lysates. Twenty micrograms protein of lysates was separated by 10% SDS‐PAGE gels. After SDS‐PAGE electrophoresis, the polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (0.45 μm, Millipore) was put in 5% BSA for blocking at 37°C for 2 hours.

Immunoblotting and immunofluorescent staining were performed as described65 (link), 66 (link). Specific antibodies against POSTN (Abcam, ab14041, 1: 400), GSC marker SOX2 (Millipore, AB5603, 1:200; Santa Cruz, sc-17320, 1:200) or OLIG2 (R&D systems, AF2418, 1:100), endothelial cell marker Glut1 (Millipore, 07-1401, 1:500) or CD31 (Dako, M082301, 1:100), and macrophage markers Iba1 (Abcam, ab5076, 1:200), CD11b (Abd serotec, MCA711GT, 1:100), Fizz1 (Abcam, ab39626, 1:100), CD163 (Santa Cruz, sc-33560, 1:100), F4/80 (Abd serotec, MCA497RT, 1:100), CX3CR1 (Abcam, ab8021, 1:100) or CCR2 (Abcam, ab32144, 1:100) were used for immunofluorescent staining on GBM tumor sections as indicated.

To determine TAM density, cryosections of GBM tumors were co-stained with Iba1 (or CD11b) and Glut1. The numbers of Iba1+ (or CD11b+) cells were calculated by ImageJ. Glut1 positive areas were regarded as vessels and determined by ImageJ. For TAMs density in each sample, the number of Iba1+ (or CD11+) cells was divided by vessel area for normalization to exclude the individual variation in vascularization. The final outcome was defined as the TAM density.

Total cellular protein on the glass slides was extracted using RIPA lysis buffer containing protease and phosphorylase inhibitors (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). Protein concentration was measured using the Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Proteins were separated using 12% SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (LOT 18071300, Roche) by electroblotting. Membranes were incubated in 5% skimmed milk in Tris buffered saline with Tween 20 (TBST) (Boshide, Wuhan, China) for 1 h to block nonspecific binding. Subsequently, the membranes were incubated overnight with either rabbit anti-CX3CR1 (1:1,000; ab8021, Abcam), NF-κB P65 (1:1,000), VCAM-1 (1:2,000), or rabbit anti-GAPDH (1:1,000; Goodhere, China) primary antibodies at 4 °C. The membranes were washed three times with TBST and incubated with secondary antibody conjugated to HRP (1:500; ZSGB-BIO, China) for 2 h. Protein bands were visualized using a color development solution (1:1) for 3 min. Images were acquired using a chemiluminescence imager (Bio-Rad).

IHC staining was carried out with the ABC kit and DAB kit (Vector Laboratories) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Primary antibodies for POSTN (ab14041, 1:400), Iba1 (ab5076, 1:400), CX3CR1 (ab8021, 1:100), CCR2 (ab32144, 1:100) and Ki67 (ab15580, 1:400) from Abcam were used for the IHC staining. To study the correlation between POSTN level and TAM recruitment, the sequential sections of primary GBM microarrays were stained with antibodies against POSTN or Iba1, respectively. The IHC staining of POSTN was evaluated by two independent pathologists. The samples with a score of 0~1 were regarded as low expression and those with a score of 2~4 were regarded as high expression. For Iba1 evaluation, 3 random areas from a single section were checked for Iba1+ cells. If the average number of Iba1+ cells was less than 100 Iba1+ cells in 4.2mm2 (2.36×1.78 mm2), the sample was ascribed to Iba1 low. Otherwise the sample was classified as Iba1 high.

Breast cancer patients were enrolled in a prospective biomarker study. All subjects gave informed consent; the study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at Feinberg School of Medicine. The clinical trial enrolled patients with stage III and IV disease irrespective of subtype, about to start next systemic therapy. Blood form a breast cancer patient diagnosed with ER+/PR+/HER2− Intraductal Carcinoma (IDC), staging T4N1M1, was first processed for enrichment using the Parsortix™ system (Angle plc, Surrey, UK) and then CTCs were collected using the Captor® system (Clearbridge Biomedics, Singapore). Detection of CX3CR1 was achieved by on-chip immunofluorescence staining using a primary antibody (ab8021, 1ng/ml) from Abcam (Cambridge, MA) followed by Tyramide Signal Amplification with AlexaFluor™ 594 (B40944, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). For fluorescence microscopy and imaging we used an EVOS FL system (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA).

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.
