Figure Lengend Snippet: Multicellular tumor spheroid characterization. ( A ) Typical cryosection images of H10 and H5M5 spheroids after KI-67 immunohistochemistry staining (scale bar = 150 μm). ( B ) Typical immunofluorescence images of H10 and H5M5 spheroids cryosections stained with antibodies against αVβ6 integrin, cytokeratin 19, E-cadherin, vimentin, and fibronectin at day 4 post-seeding. Proteins of interest are in red and nuclei are in bleu after counterstaining with Vectashield-DAPI (scale bar = 100 μm at x40 and 40 μm at x100). ( C ) Relative quantification of immunofluorescence markers expression using ImageJ software ( n = 3–4; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01; Two sample t test). Data are presented as mean ± SEM
Article Snippet: 40 µg of protein lysate was loaded to 7.5% non-reducing SDS PAGE and after 150 min of migration and 90 min of blotting, PVDF membrane was saturated with 5% (w/v) solution of non-fat powered milk in TBST (Tris buffer solution with 0.1% Tween-20) for 1 h. Membrane was incubated overnight at 4 °C with either 1:100 mouse anti-human β6 integrin subunit antibody (Merck Millipore corp, USA, 407,317) or 1:1000 mouse anti-α-tubulin antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 23,948), followed by incubation with 1:2000 anti-mouse IgG HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (Cell signaling technology, 7076 S) for 1 h at room temperature.
