Immunohistochemical Analysis of Glioma Biomarkers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IHC staining of tissue sections was performed as previously described (Man et al., 2018 (link)). Tissue microarrays including normal brain and low-grade and high-grade gliomas were purchased from US Biomax. The staining intensity of MBD3 was scored using a modified histochemical scoring (H-score) system to assess both the intensity of the staining and the percentage of positively stained cells. Briefly, for the intensity, a score of 0 to 3 (corresponding to negative, weak, moderate, or strong staining) was recorded, and the percentage of positively stained cells at each intensity was estimated. The H-score was calculated as [1 × (weak %)] + [2 × (moderate %)] + [3 × (strongly stained %)]. Images were acquired with a 20×/0.75 objective on a Hamamatsu 2.0 HT digital slide scanner; the acquisition software was Nanozoomer 2.0 HT. The following antibodies were used: MBD3 (1:50, 14258-1-AP, Protein Tech group, RRID:AB_2139745), STAT1 (1:500, 14994, Cell Signaling, RRID:AB_2737027), IFN-α (1:500, ab193055, Abcam), IFN-β (1:1,000, ab84258, Abcam, RRID:AB_1859645), p21 (1:100, 2947, Cell Signaling, RRID:AB_823586), and SOX2 (1:100, sc-365823, Santa Cruz, RRID:AB_10842165).

Western blot analysis was performed, as described elsewhere [8] . Briefly, at least 16 pooled organoids per each condition were washed three times with PBS (pH 7.4) and lysed in buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 6.8), 10% glycerol and 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The lysates were homogenized by sonication and protein concentrations were determined using DC Protein Assay (Bio-Rad). The lysates were then supplemented with 0.01% bromophenol blue and 1% β-mercaptoethanol and denatured at 100 °C for 5 minutes. The prepared samples were separated by SDSpolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Merck Millipore). The PVDF membrane was blocked in 5% skimmed milk in Tris-buffered saline containing Tween for 1 hour and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. The following antibodies were used: PAX6 (sc-53108, Santa Cruz, 1:1000), SOX2 (sc-365823, Santa Cruz, 1:1000), SOX1 (bs-12276R, Bioss, 1:1000), β-ACTIN (#4970S, Cell Signaling Technology, 1:1000).

Immunofluorescence analysis was performed as reported by Lee et al. (21 (link)). Re-expanded or hatched blastocysts in 24-h culture after freeze–thawing were fixed with 4% (v/v) paraformaldehyde, washed with DPBS, and permeabilized with 0.5% (v/v) Triton X-100 for 30 min. The blastocysts were then co-incubated with a blocking solution and SOX2 primary antibody (sc-365823, 1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, United States) overnight at 4°C. After rinsing with washing medium (Tween20, Triton X-100, and DPBS), the expanded blastocysts were incubated with the secondary antibodies: goat anti-mouse IgG (H + L) Alexa FluorTM 488 (A11029, 1:200; Invitrogen Corporation, Carlsbad, CA, United States), donkey anti-rabbit IgG (H + L) Alexa FluorTM 594 (A21207, 1:400; Invitrogen) for 1 h at 20°C–25°C.

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.
