The HEK293T cell line was a gift from the Zhao lab of Fudan University (Shanghai, China). Cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen), penicillin (Invitrogen) (100 U/ml), and streptomycin (Invitrogen) (100 U/ml). Full-length PEPCK1 (wildtype, 3K/R and 3K/Q) and SIRT2 (wildtype and H187Y) plasmids were also gifts from the Zhao lab of Fudan University (Shanghai, China). Plasmids were cloned to Flag- or HA-tagged destination vectors according to different needs. Point mutations for PEPCK1 and SIRT2 were generated by site-directed mutagenesis. Antibodies against Flag (Sigma, St. Louis., MO, USA), HA (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA), PEPCK1 (Santa Cruz), SIRT2 (Sigma), α-Tubulin (CST, Danvers, MA, USA), acetylated α-Tubulin (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and β-actin (Sigma) were all purchased, and the polyclonal antibody against acetyl-lysine was a gift from the Zhao lab.

Cells were grown on four-well plastic dishes. After incubation, the cells were washed twice with PBS and then fixed with 4 % paraformaldehyde in PBS for 30 min at room temperature. The cells were washed again with PBS and then permeabilized for 30 min in PBS containing 0.2 % Triton. Next, the cells were blocked in PBS containing 10 % goat serum and incubated for 1 h with CD90, CD31, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor 1 (Flk-1), β-catenin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:200), and acetylated α-tubulin (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA, 1:200). The cells were washed again three times for 10 min with PBS and incubated with a FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate)-conjugated secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc., West Grove, PA, USA, 1:500) for 1 h. Finally, the cells were treated with DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) (Sigma-Aldrich) to stain nuclei for 2 min and then mounted on slides. Photographs of the cells were acquired by using an immunofluorescence microscope (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany, LSM700). All images were acquired by using an excitation filter with a reflected light fluorescence microscope and transferred to a computer equipped with ZEN software (Carl Zeiss).

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.
