CagA protein and exosome markers (CD9 and HSP70) were detected by western blotting. Equal amounts of cell lysates and exosomes were separated by 7.5% or 12.5% SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (ATTO Co., Ltd., Japan). After blocking with 0.5% skim milk or Blocking One-P (Nacalai Tesque Inc., Kyoto, Japan) in TBST (20 mM Tris, 500 mM NaCl, pH 7.4, 0.05% Tween 20), membranes were blotted with the following primary antibodies: anti-HA antibodies (3F10; Roche), anti-CagA antibodies (AUSTRAL Biologicals), anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies (ab10321 [PY20]; Abcam), anti-CD9 antibodies (ab92726; Abcam), and anti-HSP70 antibodies (ab5439; Abcam). The membranes were then incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies and ECL Western Blotting Detection Reagents (GE Healthcare). The bands were visualised using LAS-4000 (GE-Healthcare). For detection of tyrosine-phosphorylated CagA, the blot was first probed with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies, stripped with EzReprobe reagent (ATTO Co., Ltd., Japan), and then reprobed with anti-CagA antibodies.

Immunohistochemistry was performed as previously described [43 (link), 44 (link)]. The paraffin sections (5 μm) were deparaffinized in xylene, rehydrated with a graded series of ethanol, and washed in water. Antigen retrieval was performed by microwaving the sections in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) followed by cooling the sections to room temperature. The endogenous horse radish peroxidase activity was inhibited with 3% H2O2 for 15 min.

Histological sections were produced with 3-mm thickness containing representative samples of endothelium extracted from the thrombus of patients with CTEPH, which was previously stored at -80°C. Transplanted lungs were used as control tissue by using pieces of the pulmonary artery of the donor. All the samples underwent immunohistochemical analysis for the identification of cytoplasmic HSP70 (Abcam, anti-Hsp70 antibody (3A3), #ab5439) and annexin 2 (Abcam, anti-annexin A2 antibody C-terminal, #ab185957), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Histomorphometric quantification of the expression of the HSP70 and annexin A2 markers and total area quantification randomly of 5 different fields was performed by using a microscope-coupled image analyzer.

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.
