Human GATA-6 Antibody

GATA‑6 in Human Intestine.

GATA-6 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human intestine using Goat Anti-Human GATA-6 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1700) at 5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; CTS008) and counter-stained with hematoxylin (blue).

Detection of Human GATA-6 by Simple Western^TM.

Simple Western shows lysates of PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line, loaded at 0.2 mg/ml. A specific band was detected for GATA-6 at approximately 62 kDa (as indicated) using 10 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human GATA-6 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1700). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230kDa separation system.

(a) Experimental schema of p38-Mapk14/11 inhibition (+SB220025), plus vehicle control (+DMSO), and the details of antibodies used to analyse ICM cell lineage marker protein expression by immunofluorescence (IF) in late blastocysts (E4.5); Nanog and Gata4 (+DMSO n = 27, +SB220025 n = 33)—green, Nanog and Sox17 (+DMSO n = 18, +SB220025 n = 20)—red, and Nanog and Gata6 (+DMSO n = 24, +SB220025 n = 27)—blue. (b) Representative single confocal z-plane micrographs of vehicle control-treated (+DMSO) or p38-Mapk14/11 inhibited (+SB220025) late-blastocyst stage/equivalent embryos, immunofluorescently stained for indicated ICM cell lineage markers (Nanog in green and Gata4, Sox17 and Gata6 in red, plus DAPI DNA stain in blue). Examples of cells classified as TE, PrE and EPI are marked with an asterisk, arrowhead and arrow, respectively. Scale bar, 15 µm. (c) Pie charts of the relative cell lineage contribution in vehicle control (+DMSO) and p38-Mapk14/11 inhibited (+SB220025) blastocysts as judged by IF to detect the stated ICM lineage marker proteins. Blue, trophectoderm (TE); yellow, epiblast (EPI—ICM exhibiting exclusive Nanog expression); green, primitive endoderm (PrE—ICM exhibiting exclusive Gata4/6 or Sox17 expression, as appropriate); orange, uncommitted ICM cells (exhibiting co-expression of both Nanog and Gata4/6 or Sox17, as appropriate); and grey, ICM cells negative for either assayed marker. (d) Bar charts show average number of cells allocated to each specified ICM lineage, as judged by the indicated IF staining regime employed. Error bars represent s.e.m. and asterisks denote statistical significant differences in cell number between the vehicle control (+DMSO, black bars) and p38-Mapk14/11 inhibited (+SB220025, grey bars) embryo groups, according to two-tailed Student's t-test, with *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.005 confidence intervals. Yellow asterisk denotes increase in cells positively immunofluorescently staining for both EPI and PrE ICM markers using anti-Nanog and anti-Gata6 (an early PrE marker) antibodies.

Reduced expression of the primitive endoderm markers Gata4 and Gata6 and increased expression of Nanog was observed in embryoid bodies following inhibitor of the Fgfr.Embryoid bodies were grown in different concentrations of AZD-4547 or 0.08% DMSO for 7 days. Expression levels of (A) Gata6, and (B) Gata4 were analysed using western blotting. A representative blot and quantification from 3 independent experiments is shown for each marker. A dose dependent decrease in expression of both proteins was observed. Statistical analysis is a one-way Anova with a Dunnett’s post-hoc test. Whole-mount immunostaining of (C) Gata6 and (D) Nanog after treatment of embryoid bodies with 4 µM AZD-4547 or 0.04% DMSO. A reduction in the percentage of nuclei expressing Gata6 was observed. The percentage of nuclei expressing Nanog increased. A representative image from 3 independent experiments is shown. Scale bars 10 µm. Dotted lines represent position that the relevant orthogonal or aerial images were taken. Statistical analysis is a paired t-test. Data is from 3 independent experiments, error bars represent SEM.
