    Genecopoeia plasmids containing human vcl (nm_003373.3; hmit018467-mt06)
    (A-C; Upper panel) Sequence alignment of predicted miR-142–3p binding sites in the 3′UTR of <t>VCL,</t> Dab2 and Skap2. Only the binding sites with mfe <−20 kcal/mol are shown. (A-C; Lower panel) HEK293 cells were co-transfected with dual luciferase <t>reporter</t> <t>plasmids</t> containing 3′UTR of VCL, Dab2 and Skap2 or control vector and miR-142–3p or control mimic. After 36 h, cell lysates were prepared to measure renilla and firefly luciferase activity. Renilla activity was normalized to firefly activity and the ratios were subsequently normalized to empty vector transfected with miR-142–3p mimic set as 1. Data are expressed as ± SEM of four independent transfections. Student’s t-test was conducted to calculate p-values. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001. (D) Expression of VCL, Dab2 and Skap2 in MΦ by Western blot. Day 7 differentiated cells were transfected with miR-142–3p mimic or control mimic. Cell lysates were prepared after 36 h of transfection and VCL, Dab2 and Skap2 levels were detected by immunoblotting. The expression level of GAPDH was included as loading control. (E) The corresponding densitometric analysis by Image Lab software is also shown. Data are means ± SEM of three independent experiments (*p <0.05, **p<0.01; compared with the control mimic).

    Transcripts of <t>Vcl,</t> Tln1 and Ptk2 that encode vinculin, talin and focal adhesion kinase, respectively, were expressed in blastocysts, however expression levels of these transcripts were not affected by the uterine receptivity. Total RNAs from three pools of 30 blastocysts for each groups were analyzed and representative results presented. ( B–D ) Immunofluorescence staining for VCL in E3.5 Ctrl, E4.0 Ctrl and E4.0 TAM blastocysts. VCL was labeled with Alexa 568 (red). F-actin and nuclei were stained with phalloidin-Atto 488 (green) and DAPI (blue), respectively. ( E–G ) Dual-immunofluorescence staining <t>for</t> <t>integrin</t> β1 and VCL was performed on E4.0 Ctrl blastocysts. Integrin β1 ( E ) and VCL ( F ) were labeled with Alexa 568 and FITC, respectively. Yellow signals in merged image ( G ) indicate co-localization of integrin β1 and VCL. ( H and I ) Immunolocalization of VCL in dormant or activated blastocysts. VCL proteins were labeled with Alexa 568 (red). F-actin and nuclei were stained with phalloidin-Atto 488 (green) and DAPI (blue), respectively. The signals of VCL were found at the surface of activated blastocyst ( I ), whereas that was hardly detectable in the dormant blastocysts ( H ). ( B–I ) Z-stack projection images of confocal laser-scanning microscopy are presented. Multiple samples were analyzed on at least three separate occasions. Representative results are presented.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlation Between Serum Vinculin (VCL) Level with the Laboratory Parameters in the HCC Group (n = 51)

    Article Snippet: Serum VCL level was assayed using Elabscience Human VCL (Vinculin) ELISA Kit, Cta No: E-EL-H1795, Elabscience Biotechnology Inc. USA.

    Techniques:

    Transcripts of Vcl, Tln1 and Ptk2 that encode vinculin, talin and focal adhesion kinase, respectively, were expressed in blastocysts, however expression levels of these transcripts were not affected by the uterine receptivity. Total RNAs from three pools of 30 blastocysts for each groups were analyzed and representative results presented. ( B–D ) Immunofluorescence staining for VCL in E3.5 Ctrl, E4.0 Ctrl and E4.0 TAM blastocysts. VCL was labeled with Alexa 568 (red). F-actin and nuclei were stained with phalloidin-Atto 488 (green) and DAPI (blue), respectively. ( E–G ) Dual-immunofluorescence staining for integrin β1 and VCL was performed on E4.0 Ctrl blastocysts. Integrin β1 ( E ) and VCL ( F ) were labeled with Alexa 568 and FITC, respectively. Yellow signals in merged image ( G ) indicate co-localization of integrin β1 and VCL. ( H and I ) Immunolocalization of VCL in dormant or activated blastocysts. VCL proteins were labeled with Alexa 568 (red). F-actin and nuclei were stained with phalloidin-Atto 488 (green) and DAPI (blue), respectively. The signals of VCL were found at the surface of activated blastocyst ( I ), whereas that was hardly detectable in the dormant blastocysts ( H ). ( B–I ) Z-stack projection images of confocal laser-scanning microscopy are presented. Multiple samples were analyzed on at least three separate occasions. Representative results are presented.
