mTOR Antibody in Immunocytochemistry (ICC/IF) — Immunofluorescent analysis of mTOR was done on 70% confluent log phase HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with mTOR Mouse monoclonal Antibody (Product # AHO1232) at 2 µg/mL in 1% BSA and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature and then labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 Rabbit Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Product # A-11059) at a dilution of 1:400 for 30 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant DAPI (Product # S36938). F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Alexa Fluor 594 Phalloidin (Product # A12381). Panel d is a merged image showing cytoplasmic localization. Panel e shows no primary antibody control. The images were captured at 20X magnification.

mTOR Antibody in Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) (IHC (P)) — Immunohistochemistry analysis of mTOR showing staining in the cytoplasm of paraffin-embedded human testis tissue (right) compared to a negative control without primary antibody (left). To expose target proteins, antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0), microwaved for 8-15 min. Following antigen retrieval, tissues were blocked in 3% H2O2-methanol for 15 min at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with a mTOR Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (clone 215Q18) (Product # AHO1232) diluted in 3% BSA-PBS at a dilution of 1:50 overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed extensively in PBST and detection was performed using an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody followed by colorimetric detection using a DAB kit. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and dehydrated with ethanol and xylene to prep for mounting.

mTOR Antibody in Immunohistochemistry (IHC) — Figure 1 Knockdown of YAP1 and mTOR inhibited the progression of bladder cancer. (A and B) RT-PCR and western blot assays were performed to test the expression of YAP1 and mTOR in bladder cancer and normal bladder tissues ( *** P<0.001). (C) Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate the expression patterns of the YAP1 and mTOR proteins in three matched pairs of bladder cancer and normal bladder tissues (magnification, x200). (D and E) Immunohistochemistry scores of mTOR and YAP1 staining in 20 paired bladder cancer and adjacent normal tissues. (F and G) RT-PCR was used to analyze the knockdown efficien-cies of si-YAP1 and si-mTOR ( * P<0.05, ** P<0.01). (H and I) HT-1376 and J82 cells were transfected with si-NC, si-YAP1, si-mTOR or si-YAP1 + si-mTOR for 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h; then, CCK-8 assay was performed to evaluate cell proliferation. (J) HT-1376 and J82 cells were transfected with si-NC, si-YAP1, si-mTOR or si-YAP1 + si-mTOR for 48 h; then, cells were collected for flow cytometry assay to detect cell apoptosis. (K) Western blotting was performed to detect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, such as caspase 3/9 and cleaved-caspase3/9 after 48 h of cell transfection (H-K, vs. si-NC group, * P<0.05; vs. si-YAP1 group, # P<0.05; NC, negative control). YAP1, Yes-associated protein 1; mTOR, mammalian target of rapamycin; RT-PCR, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.

mTOR Antibody in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation (WB, IP) — Figure 2 Crosstalk between the YAP1 and mTOR proteins. (A and B) HT-1376 and J82 cells were transfected with OE-mTOR and OE-NC; then cells were harvested and subjected to RT-PCR and western blot assays to determine the expression of mTOR at the mRNA and protein levels, respectively. (C-F) RT-PCR and western blot assays were performed to determine the mRNA and protein expression of YAP1 and TEAD after 48 h of HT-1376 and J82 cell transfection with OE-mTOR or OE-NC. (G) Immunofluorescence assay was performed to evaluate the effects of subcellular location of the YAP1 protein. (H) Statistical analysis of the fluorescence intensity of the YAP1 protein ( * P<0.05, ** P<0.01; NC, negative control). YAP1, Yes-associated protein 1; mTOR, mammalian target of rapamycin; RT-PCR, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction; TEAD, TEA domain transcription factor.

Target Information

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that plays a key role in cell growth, cell proliferation, and protein synthesis. mTOR mediates phosphoinositide 3-kinase and Akt/PKB signaling, resulting in phosphorylation of 4EBP1, and initiation of mRNA translation. A second pathway involves regulation of ribosomal S6 kinase, which affects ribosome biogenesis and translation elongation. Mutations affecting the gene results in Smith-Kingsmore syndrome.
