Background In addition to hemostasis and host defense, platelets are involved in the induction of inflammation, tissue repair, and tumor metastasis. Aggrus (T1a/Podoplanin) is a novel 36-45 kDa membrane sialoglycoprotein that induces platelet aggregation. Aggrus is highly expressed in various tumor cells and the platelet aggregation ability of Aggrus depends on specific oligosaccharide structures that may be related to the metastasis process in cancer cells. Aggrus has been identified as a diagnostic tumor marker for seminomas and testicular cancers.

Protocol:

SDS-PAGE & Western Blotting
1) Wash the cells 3 times with PBS and suspend with 10 volume of cold Lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.2, 250 mM NaCl, 0.1% NP-40, 2 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol) containing appropriate protease inhibitors. Incubate it at 4°C with rotating for 30 minutes, then sonicate briefly (up to 10 seconds).
2) Centrifuge the tube at 12,000 x g for 10 minutes at 4°C and transfer the supernatant to another tube. Measure the protein concentration of the supernatant and add the Lysis buffer to make 8 mg/mL solution.
3) Mix the sample with equal volume of Laemmli’s sample buffer.
4) Boil the samples for 2 minutes and centrifuge. Load 10 µL of the sample per lane in a 1 mm thick SDS-polyacrylamide gel for electrophoresis.
5) Blot the protein to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane at 1 mA/cm2 for 1 hour in a semi-dry transfer system (Transfer Buffer: 25 mM Tris, 190 mM glycine, 20% MeOH). See the manufacture's manual for precise transfer procedure.
6) To reduce nonspecific binding, soak the membrane in 5% skimmed milk (in PBS, pH 7.2) for 1 hour at room temperature, or overnight at 4°C.
7) Incubate the membrane with primary antibody diluted with PBS, pH 7.2 containing 1% skimmed milk as suggest in the APPLICATIONS for 1 hour at room temperature. (The concentration of antibody will depend on condition.)
8) Wash the membrane with PBS (5 minutes x 6 times).
9) Incubate the membrane with the 1:10,000 anti-rat IgG-HRP diluted with 1% skimmed milk (in PBS, pH 7.2) for 1 hour at room temperature.
10) Wash the membrane with PBS (5 minutes x 6 times).
11) Wipe excess buffer on the membrane, then incubate it with appropriate chemiluminescence reagent for 1 minute. Remove extra reagent from the membrane by dabbing with paper towel, and seal it in plastic wrap.
12) Expose to an X-ray film in a dark room for 3 minutes. Develop the film as usual. The condition for exposure and development may vary.
(Positive controls for Western blotting; transfectant, NL-17)
