The cellular expression of the six candidate proteins were verified experimentally via Western Blot analysis. Total cell lysates were obtained using RIPA buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, United States). Proteins were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Millipore, Burlington, MA, United States). The membranes were blocked in PBS, 10% (w/v) skim milk for 1 h in phosphate buffer saline-Tween 20 (PBS-T), and incubated for 3 h at RT in 5% milk in PBS-T with primary antibodies: CDH2, EGFR, ITGA3, ITGA5, ITGB1, and CALR (Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom). Then, after washing, the PVDF membrane was incubated with secondary antibody (The Jackson Laboratory, United States) for 40 min at RT. Thermo Scientific SuperSignal West Pico PLUS Chemiluminescent Substrate kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, United States) was used for visualization.

Tumor tissue sections were deparaffinized and heat-treated with citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 5 min as an epitope retrieval protocol. The tissue sections were then exposed to 0.03% hydrogen peroxide for 5 min to block endogenous peroxidase activity followed by incubation with 2% BSA to block nonspecific antibody binding sites. Then the tissue sections were incubated with ITGA1, ITGB1, VCL and ILK antibodies (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) at proper concentration according to manufacturer's instructions for 2 h at 37°C. HRP-conjugated anti-mouse/rabbit antibody (Multi Science, Hangzhou, China) was then added for 1 h and the color was developed using 3-30-diaminobenzidine. Following washing step, the sections were counterstained with hematoxylin, washed and dipped briefly in a water bath containing drops of ammonia, prior to dehydration and mounting in Diatex. The stained sections were analyzed and scored using a Leica Microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). Scoring was based on the intensity and average percentage of positive cells. The staining intensity was scored with “1” (negative or weakly positive), “2” (moderately positive) and “3” (strongly positive). The average percentage of positive cells was scored as: 1 (<25%), 2 (25-50%), 3 (50-75%) and 4 (>75%).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male BALB/c nude mice (aging from 4 to 6 weeks, 18–22 g) were provided by the HFK Biotechnology company. All animal experimentation was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Guangzhou Medical University. The A549 cell suspension (1 × 106 cells/200 μL/mouse) containing PBS (Gibco, Invitrogen, USA) and Matrigel was fully re-suspended and injected into the axilla of the mice. The tumor-bearing mice were arbitrarily allocated to three groups. The volume of the tumor was estimated at regular intervals. Drug administration was started when the tumor volume was about 100 mm3. Full ultrasonic dissolution of the jaceosidin was dissolved into a uniform suspension (1% DMSO + 5% CMC-Na + normal saline) and intraperitoneal injected into mice (200 μL/mouse). The body weight and the tumor volumes were recorded every day. After 7 days of continuous administration, the mice were dissected and the tumors were excised. The tumor was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Biosharp, China) for routine sections preparation. Routine sections were utilized for hematoxylin/eosin (HE) staining (Servicebio, China) and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis according to the protocol [39 (link)]. The antibodies used in the IHC assay including E-cadherin (#3195, CST), ITGA2 (ab181548, Abcam), ITGB1 (ab179471, Abcam) and Vimentin (#5741, CST).

Tumor tissues were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. Sections (5-µm thick) were cut from the embedded tissues and mounted on polylysinecoated slides. Tumor sections were subjected to IHC staining for detection of E-cadherin, VIM and ITGB1. Briefly, sections were deparaffinized in xylene, rehydrated in gradient alcohol and treated with 0.3% H 2 O 2 for 15 min to quench endogenous peroxidase activity. Following antigen retrieval, sections were blocked in 10% normal serum with 1% BSA in TBS for 2 h at room temperature, and then incubated at 4˚C overnight with the corresponding primary antibodies (E-cadherin, vIM and ITGB1; Abcam). Negative controls were incubated with the negative control antibody under the same condition. Next, the sections were incubated with biotinylated secondary antibody for 1 h, followed by incubation with conjugated horseradish peroxidase streptavidin for 1 h. Finally, the sections were incubated with diaminobenzidine and counterstained with hematoxylin.
Statistical analysis. Experiments were performed at least three times. Data were analyzed by Student's t-test when comparing two groups and by one-way ANOvA followed Bonferroni's post-test, when comparing more than two groups. A P-value <0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant result.

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.
