Clinical samples of invasive ductal carcinoma were classified by a board-certified pathologist. HER2 status was determined according to current ASCO/CAP guidelines. Clinical samples of hyperplastic breast tissue were used as reference. Immunohistochemistry was performed on a BenchMark XT autostainer (Ventana Medical Systems Inc., Tucson, AZ, USA). Primary antibodies against HER2 (4B5, Ventana Medical Systems Inc.) and phospho-Ser326 HSF1 (EP1713Y, Abcam) and OptiView DAB IHC detection kits (Ventana Medical Systems Inc.) were used. The glass slides were digitized (Aperio ScanScope XT, Oxford, UK) and quantified with ImageJ image analysis software (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij). Areas covered by 3,3′-diaminobezidine precipitate around the cell membranes (HER2) and in the nuclei (pHSF1) of 60 cells in two regions per sample were manually selected. Intensity values (8 bit) were obtained using color deconvolution.1 (link)

Protein isolation and western blots were performed as described before [48 (link)]. For analysis of phosphorylated proteins, cells were harvested and lysed with radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (89900, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (cOmpleteTM Tablets, 11697498001, Roche, Basel, Swiss; Sodium orthovanadate, 13721-39-6, Fivephoton Biochemicals, San Diego, CA, USA). Antibodies against rabbit anti-GLI1 monoclonal antibody (C68H3, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA), mouse anti-GLI-2 (Dilution, C-10: sc-271786, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), rabbit Anti-HSF1-phospho(S326) antibody (1:5000, EP1713Y, abcam, Cambridge, UK), rabbit Anti-HSF1 antibody (1:1000, 4356, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA), Mouse anti-HSP70/HSPA1A antibody (1:1000, MAB1663, R&D Systems, Inc. Minneapolis, MN, USA), Rabbit anti-HSP90 Antibody (1:1000, #4874, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) or mouse anti-β-ACTIN (sc-47778, 1:5000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA). Secondary antibodies against HRP-linked anti-rabbit immunoglobulins (1:10,000, 7074) and anti-mouse IgG (1:10,000, NXA931) secondary antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA) and GE Healthcare (Cytiva, Marlborough, MA, USA), respectively.

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.
