Quantifying Extracellular GRP78 in Multiple Myeloma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Conditioned supernatants of multiple myeloma NCI-H929 cells were obtained by washing the cells in PBS and culturing them in Protein-Free Hybridoma medium for 72 h. Supernatants were collected and centrifuged at 12,000 × g for 30 min to remove cell debris. They were further concentrated using Amicon Ultra-0.5 centrifugal filter unit with ultracel-10 membrane (UFC501096, Milipore). For dot blot assay, 1 μl aliquots of 5 x concentrated samples were spotted on nitrocellulose membranes (Protean BA 85, GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Whatman). Released proteins were denatured, separated with 4–20% SDS-PAGE (Criterion TGX, Bio-Rad) and transferred to an Immuno-Blot TM polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Bio-Rad) in western blot analysis. After blocking the membrane in 3% BSA dissolved in TBS, membranes were incubated 2 h at room temperature in 3% BSA with a primary polyclonal antibody GRP78 supplied with the GRP78-ELISA Kit (Biovendor). Afterwards, membranes were incubated with an anti-biotin HRP conjugated antibody (CST) diluted 1:1000. After washing, a chemiluminescent substrate (LumiGLO Reagent and Peroxide, Cell Signaling Technology) was added to the membrane, which was then exposed in the Chemidoc XRS station (Bio-Rad Laboratories).

Gelatin Zymography for Cell-Conditioned Media

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The gelatin zymography protocol has been described elsewhere [44 (link)]. Equal numbers of cells were plated in 10 cm plates. Once the cells had attached, the media was replaced with half the normal volume of serum-free media. The cells were incubated with the media for 16-18 hours and the media was collected. LNCaP- and VCaP-conditioned media required concentration using Amicon Ultra-0.5 Centrifugal Filter Unit with Ultracel-10 membrane (#UFC5010BK, Millipore, Billerica, MA) and 10 μl of concentrated, conditioned media were loaded into the gelatin zymography. For PC3M-conditioned media, 25 μl of non-concentrated media were loaded directly into the gelatin zymography. For HT1080-conditioned media, 10 μl of non-concentrated media were loaded directly into the gelatin zymography.

Purification of NttHNL from N. tambanus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NttHNL was extracted from N. tambanus tambanus in phosphate buffered saline (PBS; 1.47 mM KH2PO4, 8.1 mM Na2HPO4, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, pH 7.4) and then purified. After adding ammonium sulfate to 30% saturation, the crude extract was loaded onto a TOYOPEARL Butyl-650M column (Tosoh, Tokyo, Japan). The adsorbed proteins were eluted by a step-wise gradient of ammonium sulfate in PBS (20%, 10%, and 0% saturation). The active fractions were loaded onto a PD-10 column (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, UK) equilibrated with 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0). The eluted proteins were loaded onto a MonoQ 5/50 GL column (GE Healthcare), and eluted with a linear gradient of sodium chloride (0–100 mM) in the same buffer. The active fractions were pooled and concentrated using a centrifugal filtration device (Amicon Ultra 0.5 Centrifugal Filter Unit with ultracel-10 membrane; Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). The concentrated enzyme solution was applied to a Superdex 200 10/300 column (GE Healthcare) equilibrated with PBS.

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.
