The immunofluorescence method was partially based on our research group’s previously published articles (Wang et al., 2020b (link)). Tumor cells grown on glass slides were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with PBS containing 0.2% Triton X-100 (Sigma‒Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany) and washed with PBS containing 0.02% Tween-20 (PBST) three-times. After incubation for 45 min in 10% BSA diluted in PBST, the cells were incubated with CMTM6 antibody (#D260396-0100; Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) at 4 °C overnight in a humidified chamber. After washing with PBST three times, the cells were incubated with goat anti-rabbit IgG (diluted 1:150 with 0.01 mol PBS) conjugated with FITC (ZF-0311; Zhong Shan Jin Qiao, Beijing, China) at 37 °C for 40 min in a humidified chamber in the dark. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (C1005; Beyotime, Shanghai, China) at 25 °C for approximately 15–20 min. The images used for analysis were obtained with fluorescence microscopy (Olympus BX51, Tokyo, Japan).

The localization of YAP expression in N-hiPS-Ch was determined via immunofluorescence staining. Briefly, cells were harvested on day 14 and were seeded in 24-well plates at 1 × 104 cells/cm2. After 48 h of treatment with low, medium, and high concentrations of T-2 toxin and DON alone or in combination, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature and washed with PBS thrice. The samples were then treated with 0.1% Triton X-100/PBS for 30 min at room temperature and blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA)/0.3 M glycine at 4 °C for 60 min. Subsequently, the samples were incubated with rabbit anti-YAP antibody (13584-1-AP, 1:100, Proteintech) at 4 °C overnight, followed by secondary fluorescent conjugated secondary antibodies. Cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (C1005, Beyotime, Shanghai, China). In addition, the identification of hiPSCs and hiPS-Ch was performed using immunofluorescence staining. The samples were incubated with an anti-Nanog antibody (14295-1-AP, 1:100), anti-OCT4 antibody (ab181557, 1:250), anti-COL2A1 antibody (ab185430, 1:100), and anti-ACAN antibody (13880-1-AP, 1:100).

To confirm that the AFs-Exos could be taken up by VSMCs, we labeled the exosomes with a red fluorescent dye (PKH26, MINI26-1KT, Sigma), and co-incubated the labeled exosomes with VSMCs as described previously [36 ]. Briefly, 4 µL of PKH26 dye was first dissolved in 500 µL Dilute C solution. 100 µg exosomes were added to the mixture and incubated at room temperature for 5 min. Then 500 µL BSA was added to terminate the reaction. The unbound dyes were removed by ultracentrifugation at 100, 000 g for 70 min. The labeled exosomes were co-incubated with VSMCs at 37℃ for 12 h. After washing with PBS, VSMCs were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 30 min. After washing with PBS, VSMCs were incubated with DAPI (C1005, Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) for 5 min at room temperature to stain nuclei. After washing with PBS, the red fluorescent signals in VSMCs were detected by the fluorescence microscope.

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.
