Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemistry was performed using polyclonal antibody for SphK1 and COX-2. Tissue samples were recovered, fixed in 10% buffered formalin, and embedded in paraffin. Section (4 µm) were dewaxed and hydrated through graded ethanol, cooked in 25 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, in a pressure cooker for 10 min, transferred into boiling deionized water, and let to cool for 20 min. Tissue sections were then treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide to inactivate endogenous peroxidase activity. The slides were incubated with anti-SphK1 (Abcam) and anti-COX-2 (Cell Signaling) antibodies at a working dilution of 1:200 overnight at 4 °C [18 (link)] and a secondary polymer-based detection system (EnVision+ System Labelled Polymer-horseradish peroxidase anti-rabbit; Dako). The chromogen was 3,3′diaminobenzidine (DAB; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) and sections were counterstained with haematoxylin. The specificity of technique was evaluated by negative controls (omitting the incubation with the primary antibody and incubating it with nonimmune sera). Areas of staining were analyzed by WinRoof version 6.3 (Mitani, Tokio, Japan) software with ten non-overlapping randomly chosen histological fields. Results were expressed as the percentage of stained cells in each field.

For SGPL1, SPHK1, SPHK2, twenty-five micrograms of total protein lysate were immunoblotted with the following antibodies: anti-SGPL1 (1:1000) (Santa Cruz, Cat. N. sc-67368), anti-SPHK1 (1:1000) (Abcam, Cat. N. ab71700; lot numbers: GR17790-4 and GR17790-24) and anti-SPHK2 (1:1000) (Abcam, Cat. N. ab37977; lot numbers: GR31063-12 and GR31063-39). For phospho-AKT, AKT, phospho-ERK and ERK, total lysate was immunoblotted with the following antibodies: anti-phospho-AKT (1:1000) (Cell Signaling, Cat. N. 9271), anti-AKT (1:1000) (Cell Signaling Cat. N. 2920), anti-phospho-ERK (1:1000) (Cell Signaling Cat. N. 9101), anti-ERK (1:1000) (Cell Signaling Cat. N. 9102), and anti-ERK (1:1000) (Cell Signaling Cat. N. 4696). For protein normalization, anti-Actin (1:5000) (Sigma Aldrich, Cat. N. A5441) or anti-Cyclophilin (1:3000) (Abcam, Cat. N. ab16045) was used. Protein bands were detected by ECL Prime (GE Healthcare) and quantitated with Quantity One Software (Bio-Rad Laboratories).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Tumor Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Five µm sections of mouse and human tumors were stained with anti-Ki-67 (DAKO), anti-SphK1 (Abcam), anti-SphK1 phospho-Ser225 (ECM Biosciences), anti–CD31 (BD), anti-LYVE-1 (Abcam), or anti-CK8 (Abcam). Sections were examined with a BX-41 light microscope (Olympus) or TCS-SP2 AOBS Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (Leica) and microvessel density was determined as previously described (29 (link)). ABCB1 and ABCC1 staining in the breast tumors was assessed according to the intensity and population of staining. We scored each sample by 0 to 3: 0 = negative, there is no staining in the tumor cells; 1 = weak, more than 10 % of tumor cells stained with weak intensity; 2 = moderate, more than 30% of tumor cells stained with intermediate intensity or less than 30% of tumor cells stained with strong intensity; 3 = strong, more than 30% of tumor cells stained with strong intensity. Negative: 0 and weak: 1 are considered as low expression, while moderate: 2 and strong: 3 are considered as high expression as previously described (27 (link)).

Immunostaining of mESCs for SPHK1, SPHK2, and NANOG

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunostaining was performed by fixing mESCs in Millicell glass EZ slide (Millipore) with 4% paraformaldehyde (Sigma) at room temperature (RT) for 20 minutes. Cells were blocked for an hour by incubating in phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) supplemented with 10% FBS, 0.1% IgG‐free bovine serum albumin (BSA, Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, Pennsylvania) and 0.1% saponin from quillaja bark (Sigma) at RT. Cells were incubated overnight at 4°C with anti‐SPHK1 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:50) or anti‐SPHK2 antibody (Abcam, 1:50) in blocking buffer. Fluorescence‐conjugated secondary antibody was used for visualization. Nuclei were labeled with 4′,6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole (Molecular Probes, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California). Images were collected on a Zeiss (Oberkochen, Germany) LSM 800 confocal microscope with ZEN software. To measure NANOG, the same protocol was used except that mESCs were fixed in a tissue culture dish, stained with anti‐NANOG antibody (Abcam, 1:100) and visualized on a Zeiss epifluorescence microscope with the AxioVision software.

Cells were lysed (20 min at 4°C) in Tris-buffered saline (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl) containing, 1% Nonidet P-40, 10 mM NaF, 1 mM Na3VO4, 10 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 1 mM PMSF, and protease inhibitors. After centrifugation, supernatants were assayed for proteins [26 (link)], and equal amount of proteins (15–30 μg) were submitted to SDS-PAGE on 10% polyacrylamide gel. After transfer onto nitrocellulose membranes, samples were incubated (overnight, 4°C) with the following antibodies: anti-SphK1 and anti-SphK2 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-phospho-Akt, anti-caspase-3 antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA), and then with an anti-HRP-conjugated antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA). Anti-β-actin (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and anti-GAPDH antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) were used as loading control. Immunoreactive signals were visualized by Supersignal West Femto (Thermo Scientific (Rockford, IL), and exposure to Kodak Biomax film (Rochester, NY). Immunoreactive band density was determined with a densitometer (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA; Quantity One software).

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.
