Protein was extracted from cells with a buffer containing 1% SDS, 100 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM PMSF, and 0.1 mM β-mercaptoethanol, following treatment with 0.5 μg/ml rat recombinant MIF (ProSpec) for 15 min, 30 min, and 60 min, respectively. Alternatively, protein was extracted from 1-cm spinal segments of the injured site at 0 day, 1 day, 4 days, and 1 week following contusion (n = 8 in each time point). Protein concentration of each specimen was detected by the Bradford method to maintain the same loads. Protein extracts were heat-denatured at 95 °C for 5 min, electrophoretically separated on 10% SDS-PAGE, and transferred to PVDF membranes. The membranes were subjected to the reaction with a 1:1000 dilution of primary antibodies in TBS buffer at 4 °C overnight, followed by a reaction with the secondary antibody conjugated with goat anti-rabbit or goat anti-mouse HRP dilution 1:1000 (Santa Cruz) at room temperature for 2 h. After the membrane was washed, the HRP activity was detected using an ECL kit. The image was scanned with a GS800 Densitometer Scanner (Bio-Rad), and the data were analyzed using PDQuest 7.2.0 software (Bio-Rad). β-actin (1:5000) was used as an internal control. The antibodies used in Western blot are as follows: MIF (Abcam); p65NFκB (Cell Signaling Technology, CST), p-ERK1/2, and ERK1/2 (CST); and CD74 (Biorbyt) and β-actin (Proteintech).

Size-matched polyp and normal tissues were collected from the small intestine of B6.ApcMin/+ mice and B6.Apc+/+ mice, respectively. Tissues were frozen in Qiagen RLT buffer (Valencia, CA) and RNA extracted with Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kits. Quantitative RT-PCR was done with SYBR Green (Quanta BioSciences, Gaithersburg, MD) to measure the expression levels of F4/80, IL-6, IL-1b, TNF and Myc in adipose or intestinal tissues (see Supplementary Table 2 for primer sequences). Tissues for Western blot analysis were immediately submerged in RIPA buffer supplemented with phosphatase and protease inhibitors, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80°C. All antibodies (AKT, pAKT, IKK, pIKK, NFκB, p65 NFκB, STAT3, pSTAT3) were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Beverly, MA) and used according to manufacturer’s instructions.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
