Whole-cell lysates were separated on Tris-Glycine 4–20% gradient gels (Thermo Fisher) and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes overnight. Blots were blocked in Odyssey Blocking Buffer PBS (Licor) for 1h and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 degrees, followed by 1h incubation at room temperature with secondary antibodies. Blots were imaged using the Odyssey 9210 (Licor). The control antibody was alpha-tubulin (12G10 UIOWA hybridoma bank) for all the blots except the vRPP3 blot in Fig. 1a, which we used beta-actin as the control (Sigma A1978). The other antibodies used were RAC1 (BD 610651), Cav1 (CST 3267S), AXL (CST C89E7), and E-cadherin (RD MAB1838), MEK (CST 9122), and p-MEK_S298 (CST 9128). All antibodies were used at 1:1000 dilution, except for E-cadherin (RD MAB1838), which was used at 1:250 dilution. Western blots were quantified using ImageStudioLite software. All western blots were done in triplicates, derived from same experiments, and processed in parallel. Unprocessed and uncropped blot scans can be found in the Supplementary Information (Supplementary Fig. 9).

Following euthanasia, intestines were dissected from adult mice and fixed in 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin (NBF) at 4°C overnight. For paraffin sections, tissue was dehydrated, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned at 6 μm thickness. The paraffin sections were stained using standard hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) reagents. For immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence (IF) staining, tissue sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated before undergoing heat-induced antigen retrieval in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 1 hour. Slides were blocked for endogenous peroxidase for 15 minutes, then blocked for 1 hour in 5% BSA, 1% goat serum, in PBST with 0.1% Tween-20, and incubated overnight at 4°C in primary antibody diluted in the blocking buffer. Slides were incubated in biotinylated secondary antibody for 1 hour at room temperature and signal was detected using the Vectastain Elite ABC kit (Vector Laboratories). Primary antibodies used for IHC/IF were: Ki67 (1:10,000, Abcam), phosphor-histone H3 (1:3000, Abcam), Olfm4 (1:200, Cell Signaling), Lysozyme (1:1000, Novus Biologicals), Sox9 (1:200, Abcam), Chromogranin A (CgA, 1:1000, Thermo Fisher, RB9003) and E-Cadherin (1:400, R&D Systems).

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.
