TC32 cells (1.5 × 106) were incubated with drug, collected, washed with PBS, lysed, and boiled in 4% LDS buffer (0.125 M Trizma hydrochloride buffer solution, pH 7.5, and 4% lithium dodecyl sulfate (Sigma-Aldrich). Protein concentrations were determined after diluting the detergent using the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay kit (Pierce Protein Biology Products, Carlsbad, CA). Thirty micrograms of protein was resolved on a 4–12% NuPAGE Bis-Tris Mini gels (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) in 1 × 4-morpholinepropanesulfonic acid (MOPS) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) buffer (Invitrogen), and transferred to nitrocellulose (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Pittsburgh, PA). The membrane was probed with the following antibodies: mouse monoclonal anti-FLI1 (1:1,000, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), mouse polyclonal anti-ACTB (1:1,000, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA), rabbit polyclonal anti-ENT1 (1:500, Abcam), rabbit polyclonal anti-ENT2 (1:1000, Abcam), and rabbit polyclonal anti-TK1 (1:000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX). The protein was visualized by using horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody and ECL (Amersham, Buckinghamshire, UK).

Multiplex fluorescence in situ hybridisation was performed using PLISH (Nagendran et al. 2018 (link)). Sections were de-paraffinised, boiled in a 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0) with 0.05% lithium dodecyl sulfate (Sigma) and processed in sealed hybridisation chambers (Grace Biolabs, Bend, US). Tissues were treated with 0.1 mg/mL Pepsin (Roche-10108057001, Sigma-Aldrich) in 0.1 M HCl, followed by (at 37°C): hybridisation of barcoded gene probes and bridge sequences, DNA ligation (10 CEU/mL T4 DNA ligase, M0202T, New England Biolabs, Ipswich, US) and extension by rolling circle amplification (1 U/mL Nxgen phi29 polymerase, Lucigen, Middleton, US). Samples were incubated with fluorophore-conjugated oligonucleotides specific to the barcode for the targeted gene probe (Supplementary Methods, see section on supplementary materials given at the end of this article), washed then treated with TruVIEW autofluoresence quenching kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, US), stained with DAPI and mounted. Imaging was performed with a Zeiss Axio Imager M1 microscope (Jena, Germany) and analysed with Qupath software (Bankhead et al. 2017 (link)).

Microgel Cell Lysis and Protein Removal

To lyse the cells in the microgels, the particles are submerged in a solution of 2 mL TE buffer solution containing 10 mM DTT (manu), 2.5 mM EDTA (Teknova), and 10mM NaCl (Sigma-Aldrich). The following quantities of lytic enzymes are also included: 4 U zymolyase (Zymo Research), 10 U lysostaphin (Sigma-Aldrich, catalog no. L7386), 100 U mutanolysin (Sigma-Aldrich, catalog no. M9901), and 40 mg lysozyme (MP Biomedicals, catalog no. 195303). Cell lysis proceeds overnight in a shaking incubator at 37°C. The turbid lysate mixture is centrifuged at 1000 g for 1 min, the supernatant removed, and 3 mL of a solution containing 0.5% (w/v) lithium dodecyl sulfate (Sigma-Aldrich) and 10 mM EDTA in TE buffer is added, along with 4 U of Proteinase K (NEB) to solubilize cell debris and digest cellular proteins. The solution is incubated at 50°C on a heating block for 30 min. Following lysis, the microgels are thoroughly washed to ensure complete removal of detergents and other chemical species which may inhibit downstream molecular biology reactions. The following washes occur in 10 mL volumes with centrifugation magnitudes of 1000 g between additions of wash solutions: one wash with 2% (v/v) Tween 20 in water; one wash in 100% ethanol (Koptec) to denature any remaining Proteinase K; and five washes with 0.02% (v/v) Tween 20 in water.

SDS-PAGE was performed using precast Bis-Tris 12% polyacrylamide gels and an electrophoresis system (Invitrogen, Mount Waverley, Australia). Centrifugal supernatants were diluted (1:25) with deionized water and mixed (10 µl) with 5 µl of LDS (Sigma Aldrich, UK), 2 µl of reducing agent (Sigma Aldrich, UK) and 5 µl of β-mercaptoethanol (Bio-Rad Laborato-ries Ltd., UK). Each of the non-heated reference samples was diluted in a similar way and the same amount of reagents was added. All samples were heated at 100 °C for 3 min prior to loading. The gels were run at 115 V for 90 min and a solution containing 0.025% w/v Coomassie (Bio-Rad Laboratories Ltd., Watford, UK), 40% w/w methanol and 7.5% w/w acetic acid was used for staining for 90 min and a 7.5% w/w acetic acid solution was used for destaining the gels overnight. Gels were visualized using a Fuji Film Intelligent Dark Box II with Fuji Film LAS-3000 V2.2 software (Brookvale, Australia). The proteins were identified by comparison to the molecular weight (Mw 10-250 kDa) of protein standards (Precision Plus, Kaleidoscope, BioRad, Australia).

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.
