Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded BC specimens were retrieved from the archives of the Institute of Pathology. Specimens of the RC cohort underwent an expert histopathological review regarding tumor type, stage, and grade. One millimeter cores of the periphery and the tumor center were assembled in triplicate in a tissue‐microarray (TMA), and hematoxylin‐eosin stained sections were used as templates. Immunohistochemical protein detection on 5 µm deparaffinized sections of primary BCs, xenograft tumors, or embedded cell lines was performed with an ultraView Universal 3,3′‐diaminobenzidine (DAB) detection kit on a Ventana Benchmark XT autostainer (Ventana Medical Systems). For cleaved NOTCH1 (N1ICD), the primary rabbit anti‐human antibody Val1744 (Cell Signaling) was used at 1:100 dilution and for fos‐related antigen 1 (FRA1), primary mouse anti‐human antibody sc‐28310 (Santa Cruz) was used at 1:50 dilution. Staining for both N1ICD and FRA1 was assessed blinded from clinical outcome. Tumors were given scores of absent (0), weak (1), moderate (2) or strong (3) staining. Weak and absent staining then were defined as low expression, whereas moderate and strong staining were defined as high expression.

The intracellular Notch 1 level was determined by Western blot analysis. Pro–B cells were cultured on a monolayer for OP9DL1 stroma cells for 24 h and the stimulation was terminated by placing the cells on ice. The pro–B cells were removed carefully without disturbing the OP9DL1 stroma cells, centrifuged, and lysed in RIPA buffer supplemented with Protease inhibitor (Roche; 11697498001) and PMSF (1 µM; Sigma-Aldrich; P7626). Protein concentration was determined by Bradford reagent (Sigma-Aldrich; B6916), 50 µg of protein from each sample was boiled for 5 min in Laemmli buffer, and the proteins were separated on SDS-PAGE (456–8081; Bio-Rad Laboratories). The proteins were electrophoretically transferred to PVDF membranes (Immobulin FL; Millipore). Membranes were blocked with 5% BSA and probed with antibodies against intracellular Notch1 (Val1744; Cell Signaling Technology; 2421; 1:250 dilution), and equal loading was determined by probing blots with antibodies against GAPDH (ab9483; Abcam). Proteins were detected by IR dyes (Odyssey) and the membrane were scanned using Odyssey CLx Infrared Imaging System.

Endothelial cells were seeded onto 6-well plates coated with or without 500 ng/ml recombinant mouse Dll4 protein (R&D Systems) in 0.1% BSA/PBS for 1 h at room temperature. Experiments were performed in the presence of solvent, 10 µmol/liter 19,20-EDP/DHDP, 10 µmol/liter 11,12-EET/DHET, 10 µmol/liter 14,15-EET/DHET, 3 µmol/liter 12,13-EpOME/DiHOME, 20 µmol/liter DAPT, or 10 µmol/liter MG 132. After an additional 4 h, cells were washed three times with PBS and lysed in a Triton X-100–containing buffer. Intracellular domain of Notch (NICD) levels were assessed by Western blotting with an S3 (γ-secretase) cleavage-specific antibody Val1744 (Cell Signaling Technology). For the nuclear translocation of NICD, cells were fixed with 4% PFA for 15 min at room temperature, followed by NICD and DAPI immunostaining. Co-localization of NICD with DAPI was quantified with ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health).

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.
