After PBS rinsed, the cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (1% NP40, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.25% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS) plus protease inhibitor cocktail. The protein samples from the cells were separated by a 10% (w/v) SDS-PAGE gel and electrophoretically transferred from the gel to nitrocellulose membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). The membranes were blocked in 5% (w/v) skim milk and then incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies against HSPD1 (Abcam, MA, USA), E-cadherin, RelA, RelAS536-P, β-catenin, H3 histone, GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology Inc. Danvers, MA, USA), hemagglutinin (HA) tag (Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, AG, Switzerland) and ACTB (β-actin) (Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, St. Louis, MO, USA). The proteins were probed with horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary antibody and detected with an ECL reagent. The protein expression level on the membrane was analyzed and measured with the ChemiDoc XRS Imaging System (Bio-Rad) and ImageJ software.

RNA was isolated from microglial BV2 cells using Monarch Total RNA Miniprep Kit (New England Biolabs, Massachusetts, USA), and cDNA was generated from 1 μg RNA and random hexamer primers using the SuperScript II Reverse Transcriptase Kit (ThermoFisher, California, USA). qT-PCR was run with the Platinum SYBR Green qPCR SuperMix (ThermoFisher, California, USA) using a Rotor-Gene Q cycler (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Primers against mouse CALR, LGALS3, and IL6 were used, with ACTB (β-actin) as the internal control (Sigma, Missouri, USA). Relative mRNA levels of target genes were analyzed by comparing fold-changes in the delta-delta threshold cycle, after normalizing against the internal control for each condition.

HeLa and NSC-34 cells were seeded at a density of 2 × 105 cells/well in 12-well plates. Twenty-four h later cells were treated with varying concentrations of BafA1 (0, 1, 10 and 20 nM). Sixteen h after treatment the media was removed from the cells, the cells were washed in PBS and then harvested in fresh PBS. Cells were then pelleted at 380 g for 5 min in a table-top centrifuge and the PBS was removed. Cells were lysed in 300 μL of RIPA buffer (150 mM NaCl, 1% IGEPAL® CA-630 [Sigma-Aldrich®, I8896], 0.5% sodium deoxycholate [Sigma-Aldrich®,D6750], 0.1% SDS [Fisher Scientific, BP166], 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, including protease [Sigma-Aldrich, P8340] and phosphatase [Sigma-Aldrich, P5726] inhibitors [at a 1:1000 dilution]). A BCA assay (ThermoFisher Scientific, 23225) determined the total protein concentration of each lysate and then lysates were separated by SDS PAGE on a 5–20% acrylamide gels with 20 μg of total protein loaded per well. Gels were transferred overnight and autophagy marker proteins were revealed by western blotting with the mouse anti-SQSTM1 lck ligand antibody, rabbit anti-SQSTM1 antibody (Enzo Life Sciences, BML-PW9860) and rabbit anti-LC3B antibody (MBL International, PM036). The blots were also stained for ACTB/β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich, A1978) to confirm equal protein loading.

Densitometry analysis was made using Adobe Photoshop Software Tools and protein levels were normalized against β-actin protein levels.
RhoA pull-down assays were performed using the Rho activation assay kit according to manufacturer's instructions (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA).

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.
