Expression of ERα, ERβ, GFAP, cleaved-Caspase-3 and Caspase-3 protein in primary cultured astrocytes, neurons or hippocampus were measured by western blot. In brief, soluble lysates of samples were mixed with sample buffer and NuPAGE reducing agent (Invitrogen). The extracted proteins were separated using 10% SDS-PAGE and then electrically transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. Subsequently, the membranes were blocked in 5% nonfat dry milk diluted in TBST for 1 h at room temperature. The western blots were probed with rabbit anti-ERα antibody53 (link) (ab75635, 1:500, Abcam), rabbit anti-ERβ antibody54 (link) (ab3576, 1:500, Abcam), mouse anti-GFAP antibody (GA5, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), rabbit anti-cleaved-Caspase-355 (link) (#9661, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology) antibody, rabbit anti-Caspase-3 antibody56 (link) (#9662, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology) and mouse β-actin antibody57 (link) (#3700, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology) overnight at 4 °C. The membranes were then incubated with an IRDye secondary anti-rabbit and anti-mouse antibody (Thermo Scientific, USA) for 2 h.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of ER and AR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All tissue sections (4-µm thick) were processed for IHC as previously described (18 (link),19 (link)). The following primary antibodies were used for IHC: Anti-ERα (cat. no. ab75635; 1:200; Abcam) and AR (cat. no. ab74272; 1:250; Abcam).
The expression of ERα and AR was evaluated in terms of staining intensity: (Negative), 1 (weak), 2 (medium) or 3 (strong). The extent of staining was scored as 0 (0%), 1 (1-25%), 2 (26-50%), 3 (51-75%) or 4 (76-100%), according to the percentage of positively stained areas in relation to the whole tumor area. The final staining score (0-12) was calculated by multiplying the intensity score and the extent score (19 (link)). The final staining score was used to evaluate the expression of ERα and AR.

The total proteins of the MCF-7/ADM and the MCF-7/WT cells were extracted using the CytoBuster™ Protein Extraction Reagent (Novagen, Madison, WI, USA) at 4°C. Subsequently, the proteins were resolved by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred electrophoretically (at 100 V, for 1 h) onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes, which were blocked (for 1 h, at 20°C) with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA). The membranes were then incubated with the primary antibody, anti-human estrogen receptor alpha (ab75635, 1:2,000 dilution; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) overnight at 4°C. Anti-GAPDH (ab9483, 1:1,000 dilution; Abcam) was used as a loading control. After incubation with the proper secondary antibodies, antibody binding was detected with an Odyssey Imaging system (LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA).

HESCs were cultured in 25 mm2 dishes and treated with E2 (Sigma–Aldrich) at 10−8 mol/l for 48 h, with DMSO as a control. Then, the cells were fixed in ice-cold 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min, washed with 1× PBS, and permeabilized in PBS containing 0.5% Triton X-100 for 3 min at RT. All cells were blocked (5% BSA, 30 min, RT) and incubated overnight (4 °C) with primary antibodies directed against β-catenin (#8814, Cell Signaling Technology), LEF1 (#2286, Cell Signaling Technology), TCF3 (#2883, Cell Signaling Technology), and ESR1 (ab75635, Abcam). After the cells were exposed to the primary antibodies, they were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488- and 568-conjugated secondary antibodies and mounted with Prolong Gold antifade medium. Immunofluorescently labeled cell monolayers were visualized under an Olympus FV1000 laser scanning confocal microscope (Olympus).

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.
