After the protein extraction and quantification using the radio immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer and BCA protein determination kit (Sigma), 40 µg proteins were separated by using sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Subsequently, we transferred the proteins onto the polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore) and Western Blocker™ solution (Sigma) was employed for preventing the non-specific combination, followed by the incubation of primary antibodies (overnight at 4 °C) and secondary antibody (at the room temperature for 1 h). Ultimately, the immune binding was discerned using the ECL Western HRP Substrate (Millipore), and analyzed with ImageLab software version 4.1 (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The antibodies were from Abcam (Cambridge, UK): anti-ki67 (ab16667, 1:1000), anti-E-cadherin (ab40772, 1:1000), anti-Fibronectin (ab32419, 1:1000), anti-matrix metalloproteinase 9 (anti-MMP9; ab219372, 1:1000), anti-PD-L1 (ab228415, 1:1000), internal control anti-GAPDH (ab128915, 1:3000) and anti-rabbit IgG/HRP-linked secondary antibody (ab205718, 1:5000).

For an ICC assay, PSCs and SW1990 were co-cultured into a 24-well plate and cultured at 37 °C for 24 h to allow for adhesion. Cells were incubated with PBS, free PFD (0.3 mg/mL PFD), PFD@HMON-Gem (0.3 mg/mL PFD), and PFD@HMON-Gem with pH 6.5 (achieved using acetyl acid and DMEM to alter pH; 0.3 mg/mL PFD), for 48 h. After treatment, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min, followed by washing with PBS in triplicate. A Strept Avidin-Biotin Complex (SABC) Method was utilized to analyze the expression levels of regulatory components in the ECM. Briefly, cells were blocked with 5.0% BSA for 30 min prior to antibody labeling against either collagen I (rabbit, Abcam, ab34710) or fibronectin (rabbit, Abcam, ab 32419) 2 h at 37 ℃, respectively. Subsequently, cells were incubated with Strept Avidin-Biotin Complex (SABC) for 20 min, a color reaction was developed with a DAB detection system. Cells were then counterstained with hematoxylin for 1 min. Three horizons in the high-power perspective (200×) of each slice were taken randomly.

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.
