Tumor specimens were prepared as described above. Subsequently, the tissue sections were deparaffinized and placed in antigen retrieval solution (Abcam) for 15 min at 100°C. Following incubation in 1% bovine serum albumin (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min, primary antibodies [YAP, CD31, cyclinA, cyclinD1, cyclinE; dilution, 1:200] were applied to the slides for 2 h at 37°C. Following washing with PBS, the sections were additionally incubated with the HRP-conjugated donkey anti-goat secondary antibody (dilution, 1:2,000; ab205723; Abcam) and avidin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase (43–4423; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Finally, the sections were treated with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine, and counterstained with hematoxylin, and dehydrated. A negative control was performed by replacement of primary antibody with PBS. Two pathologists reviewed the results, with IHC staining intensity determined by Image-Pro Plus 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, Inc., Rockville, MD, USA).

The expression of NLRP3, ASC, caspase‐1, IL‐1β, and TGF‐β1 was measured by Western blot analysis. Total proteins in ventricular chamber tissues were isolated using radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer, and concentrations were measured using BCA Protein Assay Kits (Beyotime Institute Biotechnology). Total protein was separated by 10% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. Nonspecific binding was blocked with 5% skim milk in Tris‐buffered saline Tween‐20, then the membranes were incubated for 4 h at 37°C with primary antibodies against NLRP3 (ab263899, 1:1000), ASC (ab175449, 1 μg/ml), caspase‐1 (ab207802, 1:1000), IL‐1β (ab9722, 0.1 μg/ml), TGF‐β1 (ab179695, 1:1000), and glyceraldehyde 3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (ab181602, 1:10000) (Abcam), followed by the corresponding secondary antibodies (ab205718/ab205723, Abcam) for 1 h. The membranes were rinsed, then proteins were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence. Relative protein expression was calculated as the ratio of target protein expression to that of the reference protein (GAPDH). The experiment was repeated three times and the data were averaged.

Total proteins were extracted from the cells using RIPA buffer (Beyotime, China) and protein concentration was determined using a Bio-rad DC Assay kit (Hercules, USA). Equal amounts of protein (20 μg) were separated on 10% SDS-PAGE (Invitrogen) and electroblotted onto a PVDF membrane (Merck, Germany), which was then blocked by 5% non-fat milk for 1 h and further incubated with E-cadherin (E-Cad, Cat#14472, 1:1000, CST, USA), N-Cadherin (N-Cad, Cat #14215, 1:1000, CST, USA), Snail (ab53519, 1:1000, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), and GAPDH (ab8245, 1:2000, Cambridge, MA, Abcam) overnight at 4°C. Secondary antibodies (donkey anti-goat IgG H&L (HRP) (ab205723, 1:2000, Cambridge, MA, Abcam) or goat anti-mouse IgG H&L (HRP) (ab205719, 1:2000, Cambridge, MA, Abcam)) were incubated with the membrane for 2 h.

IHC staining was performed to detect FZD2 expression in tissue samples. The standard streptavidin–biotin–peroxidase complex method was used for IHC staining. Briefly, after blocking of endogenous peroxidase activity in tissue sections with 3% H2O2 and antigen retrieval with a target retrieval solution (S1699; Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions, the sections were incubated with 10% normal goat serum (S-1000; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) in PBS for 30 min. Next, sections were incubated with a primary anti-FZD2 antibody (ab109094, 1:200, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) at 4°C overnight. After three washes with PBS, the sections were incubated with donkey anti-goat IgG H&L (HRP) (ab205723, 1:2000, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 30 min at room temperature. Finally, sections were incubated with a peroxidase substrate solution (Sk-4100, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) until the desired staining intensity was attained. Sections were rinsed with tap water, counterstained with haematoxylin, and mounted with coverslips. The results of IHC staining were viewed and scored separately by two experienced pathologists. The expression levels of FZD2 expression were assessed and scored as follows: negative (0; complete absence of staining), weak staining (score: 1), moderate staining (score: 2), or strong staining (score: 3).

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.
