Surgically removed colonic cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were collected from three patients at Peking University Third Hospital (Beijing, China) and used for Western blot analysis. The experiments were approved by the Ethics Committee of Peking University Third Hospital.
Immunohistochemical staining for specific protein expression was performed on mouse tissue sections. In brief, sections (4 mm thick) were deparaffinized with xylene, followed by rehydration in ethanol. Hydrogen peroxide (3%) was used to eliminate endogenous peroxidase. Sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies against Kindlin-2 (Sigma-Aldrich), 1:200; Smurf1 (Abcam), 1:100; and Smad1 (Bioss), 1:100. After extensive washing in PBS buffer, sections were incubated for 30 min with secondary antibodies (Dako). Immunostaining was examined with a BX51 microscope (Olympus), and images were photographed with a 40× objective.

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.
