Immunofluorescence was performed on cells grown on coverslips and in matrigel. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich) for 20 min and permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 30 min for cells grown on coverslips or 0.2% Triton X-100 for 10 min for cells grown in matrigel. After blocking in 5% goat serum, cells were probed with each antibody as follows: anti-mouse PAX2 (1:500, Santa Cruz), anti-mouse PAX8 (1:200, Santa Cruz), anti-rabbit E-cadherin (1:200, Abcam) and anti-rat CD44 (1:200, Abcam). Alexa Fluor goat anti-mouse IgG (1:1000), goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:500) and goat anti-rat (1:500; all from Molecular Probes, Carlsbad, CA) were used as secondary antibodies. The cells on coverslips were then mounted to microscope slides using Vectashield hard set mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) and the immunofluorescence images were visualized and analyzed using an inverted fluorescence microscope (Axioskop 2 MOT plus, Zeiss) and Axiovision software.

Tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 48 h, treated according to standard histological tissue processing, and embedded in paraffin. For immunostaining, paraffin was removed from the cross-sections (8 μm) using a xylol–ethanol gradient. For antigen retrieval, sections were boiled in 1 mM EDTA buffer solution. To block non-specific binding sites, the sections were incubated in PBS containing 6% (vol/vol) goat serum and 1% BSA (blocking solution) for 60 min at room temperature. All subsequent washing procedures were performed with this blocking solution. Tissues were incubated at room temperature for 60 min in rabbit anti-claudin-1, -2, -3, -5, -12 (1:100), anti-occludin (1:200), and anti-tricellulin (1:500) primary antibodies in blocking solution and, after two washes, further incubated with Alexa Fluor goat anti-mouse IgG and Alexa Fluor goat anti-rabbit IgG (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) diluted to 1:500 in blocking solution for 45 min at room temperature. Furthermore, nuclei were stained with DAPI (Roche, 1:1000). Sections were mounted with ProTags MountFluor (Biocyc, Luckenwalde, Germany). Fluorescence images were obtained with a confocal laser scanning microscope (Leica TCS SP5, Wetzlar, Germany).

The mouse stomach was cut into 2–3 mm pieces and then incubated in 5 mM EDTA for 30 minutes, with shaking at 37°C. The cell suspension passed through 40 μm cell strainers 2 times. After centrifuging at 1200 RPM for 5 minutes, the pellet was suspended in 50 μL Matrigel (BD Biosciences) and plated in pre-warmed 24-well plates. The 24-well plate was placed in a CO2 incubator for 20 minutes to allow a complete polymerization of the Matrigel, 500 μL mouse basal medium (STEMCELL, Cambridge, MA) was overlaid. Organoids were collected after 14 days, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min, washed in 1× PBS, and re-suspended in 30 μL Histo-gel (Richard-Allan, White Plains, NY). The histo-gel was placed into a cassette and fixed in 70% ethanol. Paraffin-embedded organoids were pretreated at 65°C for 90 min, followed by deparaffinization using standard procedures.60 (link) Antigen retrieval was performed using Tris EDTA Buffer (Genemed, Torrance, CA). Slides were then incubated for primary antibody overnight at 4°C, and further incubated with both Alexa Fluor goat anti-rabbit IgG and Alexa Fluor goat anti-mouse IgG (1:800) (Invitrogen) at room temperature for 2 h. Images were acquired using an inverted laser-scanning LSM880-Airyscan (Zeiss, Thornwood, NY) confocal microscope.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To demonstrate the proximity (<40 nm) between two different proteins in gastric cancer cells, PLA was performed by using Duo-link In Situ-Fluorescence kits according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). The slides were mounted with the mounting solution with DAPI. Each dot represents the proximity of two interacting proteins. Cell images were acquired using an Inverted laser-scanning LSM880-Airyscan (Zeiss, Thornwood, NY) confocal microscope.
Following cell fixation and permeabilization, immunofluorescence was performed using standard methods.60 (link) The cells were washed with cold PBS three times and incubated with both Alexa Fluor goat anti-rabbit IgG and Alexa Fluor goat anti-mouse IgG (1:800) (Invitrogen) at room temperature for 1.5 h. Cell images were acquired using an Inverted laser-scanning LSM880-Airyscan (Zeiss, Thornwood, NY) confocal 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.
