Following blocking in 5% non-fat milk in tris buffered saline + Triton (TBS-T), membranes were probed overnight at 4°C with one of the following antibodies: recognizing glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, 1:500, BD Pharmingen), growth associated protein 43 (GAP43, 1:5,000), ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1, 1:400, Wako), myelin basic protein (MBP, 1:500, Millipore), toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4, 1:200, Santa Cruz), and tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2, 1:200, Santa Cruz). After extensive washes in TBS-T, membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:2,000, GE Healthcare for anti-mouse and anti-rabbit, 1:1,000, Jackson ImmunoResearch for anti-rat) for 30 min at room temperature. Detection was performed with SuperSignal West Pico chemiluminescent substrate (Thermo Scientific). Quantification was performed using Quantity One software from Bio-Rad. Blots were normalized using either mouse anti-β-actin (1:500, Santa Cruz) or rabbit anti-β-actin (1:1,000, Cell Signaling).

Mice were transcardially perfused with cold 0.1 M PBS pH 7.4, the hippocampi dissected out and homogenized in RIPA buffer (0.01 M Sodium Phosphate pH 7.2, 0.15 M NaCl, 1% Nonidet-40, 1% Sodium Deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 2 mM EDTA, containing protease (Roche Diagnostics, Germany) and phosphatase inhibitors (Sigma, USA). Protein samples were electrophoresed onto 6–15% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, which were blocked with 5% milk and incubated with antibodies against the following proteins: growth associated protein 43 (GAP43) 1:1000 (Genetex), microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) 1:800, myelin basic protein (MBP) 1:1000 (Millipore), myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) 1:400 (Pierce Biotechnology), synaptotagmin 1:1000 (Synaptic Systems), TNF 1:100, TNFR1 1:300 and TNFR2 1:300 (Santa Cruz). Peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit, or anti-mouse IgG (1:5,000, Bio-Rad), or anti-rat IgG (1:2,000, Sigma) were used as secondary antibody. Signal was detected by SuperSignal WestPico Chemiluminescent Substrate (Pierce) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Membranes were reprobed with mouse anti-β-tubulin (1:10,000, 1 h, RT, Sigma). Quantification of western blots was performed by densitometry using Quantity One, 1-D Analysis software (Bio-Rad), normalizing each band to the β-tubulin signal.

To obtain the protein, tissue samples and cells were lysed using RIPA lysis buffer and centrifuged at 12,000×g for 20 min to collect the supernatant without lipid. Protein concentration was measured using the BCA protein assay (Thermo Scientific, MA, USA). Equal amounts of protein were loaded onto an SDS-polyacrylamide gel, electrophoresed, and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (PVDF, Minipore, MA, USA). The membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat milk or bovine serum albumin (BSA) at room temperature for 1 h, and then incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C for overnight. Each membrane was washed with TBST three times for 15 min followed by incubation with an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (Zhongshan Jiangqiao, Beijing, China) at room temperature for 1 h. Finally, each membrane was developed using an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) detection kit (Minipore, MA, USA) and visualized using X-OMAT BT film (Carestream, Toronto, Canada). The antibodies for TNF-α, TNFR1, and TNFR2 were purchased from Santa Cruz (California, USA), the primary antibodies for AR, IκB, NF-κB, and P65 from Proteintech Group (Chicago, USA), TNF-α from CST (Boston, USA), and β-actin, and GAPDH from Zenbio Biotech Co., Ltd. (Chengdu, China).

Western blotting assay was prepared as previously described [14 (link)]. A 10% polyacrylamide gel and Bio-Rad mini-Protean III apparatus (Bio-Rad) were used to separate the membrane-enriched proteins (15 µg) by electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE; 90 V). The proteins were blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad) and incubated overnight with the specific primary antibodies (1:1000) TNFR2 (sc-7862, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), NR2A, pAMPA, AMPA, and NR1 (4205, 8084, 13,185, and 5704, Cell Signaling Technology). The membranes were then incubated for 2 h with a specific secondary antibody.
Proteins recognized by antibodies were detected using electrochemiluminescence (ECL). To standardize and quantify the immunoblots, we used ImageJ software (NIH). The β-ACTIN antibody (sc-1616; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) was used as an internal experimental control, with results expressed concerning β-ACTIN intensity.

Western blot assay was performed as described [48 (link)] with the primary antibody for PGRN (1:1000, Abcam), phospho-Akt (Thr308, 1:1000), phospho-Akt (Ser473, 1:2000), total Akt (1:1000), phospho-Erk1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204, 1:2000) and total Erk1/2 (1:1000), phospho-TSC-2 (Thr1462, 1:1000), total TSC-2 (1:1000), phospho-mTOR-Ser2448 (1:1000), phospho-mTOR-Ser2481 (1:1000), total mTOR (1:1000), phospho-p70S6K (Thr389, 1:1000), total p70S6K (1:1000), phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46, 1:1000), total 4E-BP1 (1:1000), phospho-PKCα (Thr638, 1:1000), total PKCα (1:1000, all Cell Signaling Technology), TNFR1 (1:1000), TNFR2 (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX), c-myc (1:2000) and cyclin D1 (1:2000, both ProteinTech Group, Chicago, IL). GAPDH antibody was a control (1:2000, Hangzhou Goodhere Biotech, China).

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.
