Specimens, including 26 CCPRCC, 30 CCRCC and 30 PRCC, were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. The 4-µm thick sections were stained with the following panel of markers: CK7 (OV-TL 12/30, 1:200; Dako, Carpinteria, CA, USA); CD10 (56C6, 1:25; Novocastra, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK); AMACR (13H4, ready-to-use; Dako); CA IX (TH22, 1:100; Novocastra, Buffalo Grove, IL, USA); vimentin (Vim 3B4, 1:250); Ki67 (MIB-1, 1:200) (both from Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). Immunoreaction was performed with an automated immunostainer from Ventana (Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ, USA). The immunohistochemistry results (CK7, C10, AMACR, CA IX and RCC maker) were interpreted as negative, weak (<30% staining), moderate (30–70% staining) and strong (>70% staining). Ki67 positive cells showed stained brownish-yellow granules in the nucleus. According to the literature written by Delahunt et al (28 (link)), the area with the highest fraction of Ki67-stained cells in section was chosen at a X10 objective magnification, then it was examined at X400 objective magnification. Finally, Ki67 labeling index (Ki67 LI) was made through counting 1,000 cancer cells (percentage of nuclei showing positive staining).

Cells or exosomes were lysed in 2X Laemmli buffer (4% SDS, 20% glycerol, 10% 2-mercaptoethanol, 0.02% bromophenol blue and 120mM Tris HCl). Proteins were separated under reducing conditions in 8, 10, 12 or 15% SDS-PAGE gels, transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes, detected with AKT (pan; C67E7; 1:1000), phospho-AKT (Ser473; D9E; 1:1000), Bad (D24A9; 1:1000), phospho-Bad (Ser136/99; D25H8; 1:1000), cytochrome C (4272; 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, USA), Alix (3A9; 1:500), TSG101 (4A10; 1:500; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), CD63 (Ts63; 1:500), CD81 (1.3.3.22; 1:500; Thermo Fisher, Waltham, USA), GM130 (35/GM130; 1:500; BD Biosciences, Oxford, UK), α-SMA, (1A4; 1:2000; Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, USA), FN1-EDA (MAB1940; 1:2000; Merck Millipore, Burlington, USA), palladin (1E6; 1:1000; Novus Biologicals, Littleton, USA), Vimentin (Vim 3B4; 1:1000; Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) primary antibodies and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:4000; Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). Specific signal was visualized using the SuperSignal West Dura Chemi-luminescent detection kit (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, USA). Membranes were probed for β-actin (C4; 1:5000; BD Biosciences, San Jose, USA), HSP90 (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, USA) or HSC-70, (B-6; 1:2000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, USA), as loading controls.

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.
