RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was employed for lysing HCC cells to extract the total protein, and BCA Protein Assay (Thermo-Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was utilized for quantifying the protein in the samples. Subsequently, 20 μg protein in each group was separated using SDS-PAGE. Following the electrophoresis, proteins were transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Next, the membranes and primary antibodies (anti-SPOCK1: 1:2000, ab229935, Abcam, USA; anti-E-cadherin: 1:2000, ab233611, Abcam, USA; anti-Vimentin: 1:2000, ab92547, Abcam, USA; anti-N-cadherin: 1:2000, ab254512, Abcam, USA; anti-GAPDH: 1:5000, ab9485, Abcam, USA) were incubated overnight at 4°C, and then the membranes and secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP, 1:10000, ab6721; Abcam, USA) were incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Ultimately, enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) substrate kit (Amersham Biosciences, Little Chalfont, UK) was employed to show the protein bands, and GAPDH acted as the internal reference.

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens were used for immunohistochemistry as our previous study [17 (link)]. The tissue sections were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated using a graded ethanol series. To quench endogenous peroxidase activity, the sections were immersed in a 0.3% peroxidase-methanol solution for 30 min. For antigen retrieval, the sections were pretreated with citrate buffer for 15 min at 100 °C in a microwave oven. The materials and methods including immunohistochemistry and reagents referred to these research [18 , 19 (link), 20 (link)]. The sections were hybridized with a primary antibody against SLC6A14 (ab254786) and SPOCK1 (ab229935) at 4 °C overnight at a dilution of 1:1000 and were visualized using the UltraVision Quanto Detection System HRP DAB kit (Thermo Scientific, Shanghai, China) according to the manufacturer’s protocols. The stained sections were counterstained with hematoxylin, and photomicrographs were captured using an Olympus BX51 microscope. The following antibodies were purchased from Abcam: SLC6A14 (ab254786) and SPOCK1 (ab229935).

Protein Extraction and Western Blot Analysis of GBC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total protein of GBC tissues and cells was extracted using RIPA protein extraction reagent (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Total protein were isolated by electrophoresis on 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto the PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). The PVDF membranes were blocked in TBST buffer with 5% non-fat milk for 1 h. Then, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies: anti-cleaved caspase-3 (ab32042, 1:1,000, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), anti-Bax (ab182733, 1:1000, Abcam), anti-Bcl-2 (ab32124, 1:1000, Abcam), anti-SPOCK1 (ab229935, 1:2000, Abcam), and anti-GAPDH (ab9485, 1:1000, Abcam). Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies: goat antirabbit IgG (ab6721, 1:10000, Abcam). The immunoblot was visualized through the enhanced chemiluminescence solution (Beyotime).

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.
