Figure Lengend Snippet: Changes in plectin abundance after DA exposure. ( A ) Representative western blot of plectin (PLEC) from epithelial cell culture homogenates at Days 1, 2 and 4 after DA exposure (5.7 and 8.6 mM). ( B ) Semi-quantification of PLEC abundance normalized to lane total protein that decreased significantly at Day 4 in cultures exposed to 8.6 mM DA compared to controls (ANOVA, *p < 0.05; n = 4/group).

Article Snippet: Ten micrograms (μg) total protein were resolved in stain-free, pre-cast 4–15% gradient Tris–Glycine gel (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA), and stained with primary antibodies of keratin 5 (KRT5; 1:2000, Biolegend, San Diego, CA), integrin beta 4 (ITGβ4, CD104; 1:1000, Invitrogen, Waltham, MA), and plectin (PLEC; 1:1000, ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 2. Representative images of plakin expression in benign and cancerous solid ovarian tumours evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Representative images of protein expression using immuno- histochemistry in benign ovarian tissue, borderline, Type I and Type II tumours. (a) PPL, (b) PLEC, (c) EVPL immunostaining, and (d) IHC negative control image using secondary-only anti-mouse HRP-labelled DAB staining. Images were taken using a Leica DLMB microscope with attached Leica DFC450C camera and LAS software 4.8.0, ×40 magnification (D ×20 magnification) or from Aperio Imagescope software 12.3.

Article Snippet: The staining process included antigen retrieval at pH 8.5, blocking of endogenous peroxidase activity, and incubating the tissue in primary antibody for 60 min. Each primary mouse anti-human antibody against PPL (G-1:sc-365530), EVPL (F-4:sc-137033), and PLEC (10F6:sc-33649) was used at a 1:100 dilution, was obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX, USA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. Quantitative analysis of plakins staining in benign ovarian tissues and serous ovarian tumours. Quantification of plakin protein expression staining using DAB immunohistochemistry. Positivity output from Aperio was normalized to background (non-epithelial cell) staining. Quantifi- cation of IHC staining: (a) PPL, (b) PLEC and (c) EVPL for each of cases sorted by WHO tumour Type, cases sorted by FIGO surgical stage, (blue data points represent WHO Type I cases) and cases sorted by Silverberg–Shimizu tumour grade. For PPL expression at a), statistical significance measured by one-way ANOVA, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.005. For PLEC at (b), statistical significance measured by one-way ANOVA, * p < 0.05. For EVPL at (c), statistical significance was measured by one-way ANOVA; no significance was determined between the groups.
