The appropriate amount of peritoneal tissue should be taken for total protein extraction, and the concentration of total protein extracted should be determined by the BCA protein method. The same amount of protein (20 μg) is removed and added to 8%–12% SDS-PAGE gel for separation of proteins and transferred to polyvinyl fluoride membrane (Millipore). Dilutions of the following antibodies were made and cocultured with the membrane overnight at 4°C: E-cadherin (1:1,000), Fibronectin (1:2000),N-cadherin (1:2,000), α-SMA (1:1,000), vimentin (1:1,000), phospho-Smad2 (1:1,000), phospho-Smad3 (1:2,000), TGF-β1 (1:1,000), phospho-NF-κB p65 (1:1,000), NOX2 (1:5000), NOX4 (1:1000), phospho-Erk1/2 (1:1000) and GAPDH (1:5000).

Quantitative Western ligand blotting of serum IGFBP2, IGFBP3 and IGFBP4 were performed as previously described [13 (link)] on samples obtained on day 0, 14 and 18. To perform the Western ligand blot, serum samples were diluted with sample buffer (Lämmli buffer/bromophenol blue, EDTA) and boiled (5 min). Electrophoresis (Twin ExW S Perfect Blue; Peqlab Biotechnologie, Germany) was then performed on 11% SDS polyacrylamide gel. The separated proteins were transferred to a polyvinyl fluoride membrane (Millipore, Germany), and these blots (Semi Dry-Blotter Perfect Blue; Peqlab Biotechnologie) were incubated with blocking buffer and biotin-labelled IGF2 followed by washing steps and incubation with blocking buffer and streptavidin peroxidase-conjugate (IBT, Germany). After incubation with a detection reagent (Luminata Forte; Millipore), chemiluminescence was detected (Kodak Image Station 2000MM; Kodak, USA) and evaluated (GelAnalyzer 2010a by Dr. Istvan Lazar; GraphPad 4.0; GraphPad Software, USA). The intra- and inter-assay CV was 9.9 and 15.5% for IGFBP2, 7.8 and 19.4% for IGFBP3 and 7.7 and 18.1% for IGFBP4, respectively. The lowest detection limit was 0.2 ng/µL for IGFBP2, 1.1 ng/µL for IGFBP3 and 0.3 ng/µL for IGFBP4.

After that, the membrane was blocked in 5% skim milk for 30 min at room temperature. Next, the proteins were incubated with primary antibodies anti-KLF4 (ab214666, Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom) and anti-GAPDH (ab8245, Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom) overnight at 4°C and then incubated with the secondary antibody (ab6789, Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom) at room temperature for 1 h. Lastly, the protein bands were visualized using ECL chemiluminescence solution (P0018FS, Beyotime, Shanghai, China), and then, the gray value of the bands was quantified by Image LabTM Software.

To confirm the success of EX isolation, ~ 30–40 μg of exosomal protein was loaded onto a polyacrylamide gel (5% stacking and 10% resolving gel). After running the gel at 90 V for 20 min, followed by 120 V for 60 min in running buffer, the proteins were transferred to a polyvinyl fluoride membrane (0.45 μm; Millipore) and blocked with 5% skim milk (BD, Lincoln, NE, USA) for 2 h. The membranes were incubated overnight with primary antibodies (Abs) against CD63, CD9, C81 (rabbit pAb; SBI, Palo Alto, CA, USA), pregnancy-specific globin (PSG1), nestin (NES), progesterone receptor [PGR] (rabbit pAb; Absin, Shanghai, China), L1 cell adhesion molecule [L1CAM] (rabbit pAb; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and placental alkaline phosphatase [PLAP](mouse mAb; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA) at 4 °C. The Ab dilution ranged from 500- to 1000-fold times, as appropriate. The next day, the membranes were washed and incubated with secondary antibodies (goat anti-rabbit-HRP; Beyotime, Shanghai, China). The blotted proteins were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL, USA), and the signal was detected using Saga (Sage Sciences, Lincoln, NE, USA).

Total protein was obtained by lysing the transfected FaDu cells. A protein bicinchoninic acid assay kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) was used to measure the protein concentration. Equal amounts of protein were loaded onto the SDS-PAGE and then transferred to a polyvinyl fluoride membrane (EMD Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). After blocking with 5% non-fat milk, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies against PD-L1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, Akt, p-Akt, p-mTOR and β-actin overnight at 4°C. Further, the membranes were incubated with appropriate secondary antibodies in the next day.

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.
