Transfected cells were collected and lysed with 2× Lysis Buffer (Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A.). Total proteins in the cell or tissue samples were quantitated using BCA protein assay kit (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL, U.S.A.) following the instructions. The obtained proteins were first separated using 10% SDS/PAGE and then transferred on to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (PVDF, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). The membranes were blocked using TBST solution which was supplemented with 5% skim milk at 4°C for 1 h, and then incubated with first antibodies against AKT3 (1:1000, CST#9272, Boston, U.S.A.), NFATc2 (1:500, Abcam ab2722, Cambridge, U.K.), PPP3CA (1:2000, Abcam ab3673, Cambridge, U.K.), FOS (1:200, Abcam ab7963, Cambridge, U.K.) and AKT1S1 (1:1000, CST#2691, Boston, U.S.A.) overnight at 4°C, followed by the incubation with second antibodies for 1.5 h at room temperature. The blots were visualized with enhanced chemiluminescence kit (GE Healthcare, Chalfont St. Giles, Buckinghamshire, U.K.) following the manufacturer’s protocols.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunoprecipitation (IP), cells were lysed in IP lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 30 min on ice. Cell lysates were centrifuged at 10,000 g for 20 min and the supernatant was retained. After protein quantification, the lysates were incubated with calcineurin A antibody (ab3673; Abcam), and the tubes were rotated for 1 h at 4 °C. After 1 h, Protein G Dynabeads (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were added to the lysates and incubated overnight at 4 °C. The Dynabeads-antibody-calcineurin A complexes were centrifuged at 2500 g for 30 min at 4 °C, and the antibody-calcineurin A complexes were eluted with elution buffer, and the eluted proteins were heated for 10 min at 99 °C and subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis.

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.
