Western Blot Analysis of Protein Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human HCC, normal liver samples, and cells were homogenized for protein extraction. Equal amount of the proteins was resolved on 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. The membrane was blocked with 5% non-fat milk or 5% BSA for 1 hour and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with secondary antibodies for 1 hour at 37°C. The membrane was developed using the enhanced chemiluminescence method and imaged with a GEL DOC XR gel imager (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Using Quantity One software (Bio-Rad), the integrated density values of target protein bands were normalized by those of β-actin to obtain relative protein expression levels, except that the integrated density values of P-Akt bands were normalized by those of Akt bands to obtain the ratios of P-Akt/Akt.

Agarose Gel Electrophoresis of Nanoswitches

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nanoswitches were run in 0.8% agarose gels, cast from molecular biology grade agarose (Fisher BioReagents) dissolved in 0.53× Tris-borate EDTA (TBE). Gels were typically run at 75 V (constant voltage) at room temperature. Samples were prestained by mixing 1× GelRed stain with the samples before loading. Gels were imaged with a Bio-Rad Gel Doc XR+ gel imager and analyzed using ImageJ.

IC50 Determination of Ebselen and CuATSM

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IC50 of various drugs on untransfected NSC-34 cells was determined via a crystal violet assay (0.5 g/l crystal violet, 1% methanol [v/v], 1× PBS) as previously described (87 ). NSC-34 cells were treated for 48 h with ebslen and CuATSM at concentrations ranging from 0 to 500 μM with a final concentration of 1% (v/v) (dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO]; Sigma–Aldrich). The drug-treated NSC34 cells were then fixed via the addition of prewarmed 4% paraformaldehyde in 1× PBS and incubated for 30 min at room temperature prior to the addition of crystal violet solution. Crystal violet–stained cells were imaged using a Gel Doc XR+ gel imager (Bio-Rad). Glacial acetic acid (100 μl 33% [v/v]) was used to release the crystal violet stain back into solution for quantification of absorbance at 590 nm on a POLARstar plate reader (BMG Labtech). The resulting data were plotted via Prism (GraphPad Prism, version 5.00 or version 8.00; GraphPad Software, Inc) using a log (inhibitor) versus normalized response variable slope fit.

Quantitative Nucleic Acid Analysis

TNT4-R, TNT4-D, and TNT4-RD were diluted to a concentration of approximately 62.5 ng nucleic acids/well before loading on the gel. DNA and siRNA standards (250, 125, 62.5, 31.2, 15.6 ng) were run to comprise a standard curve. 10 ml of each sample, in either PBS or PBS with 2% v/v triton, was loaded into each lane of a pre-cast 0.8% agarose E-gel (Invitrogen) stained with ethidium bromide. The gel was run using the E-gel electrophoresis system (Invitrogen) for 15 mins at RT, and the bands were visualized with a Bio-Rad Gel Doc XR+ gel imager (Hercules, CA) and quantified using Bio-Rad Image Lab software.

SDS-PAGE was performed to check the purity of O. oratoria MT-1 and to determine its preliminary molecular weight (Mw). To prepare the sample, 100 μL of a 1.0 mg/mL O. oratoria MT-1 solution was heated in a water bath at 100 °C for 5 min and then centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 5 min. Next, 10 µL of supernatant was used for SDS-PAGE electrophoresis analysis under the following conditions [18 (link)]: separation gel concentration, 12%; interlayer gel, 10%; spacer gel, 5%; and electrophoresis voltage, first 60 V and then 110 V after the sample had entered the separation gel; electrophoresis was stopped when the bromophenol blue band reached the bottom of the gel. Finally, the gel was recovered, stained for 1 h with 0.1-M Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 solution, and then scanned using a GelDoc XR gel imager (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

A total of 50 ng of LA-DNA was irradiated with a 365 nm UV lamp (M365L2-C5 (Thorlabs) held 28.5 cm from the samples and collimated to a beam ~2.2 cm in diameter) for 0–15 min at 0.75 mW (measured at the center of the beam using a PM100A power meter console (Thorlabs) and S120VC photodiode sensor (Thorlabs)) and then combined with 6× loading dye and loaded into wells of a 1.5% TAE agarose gel. Gels were run in 1× TAE buffer at 100 V for 1 h and 15 min and then stained in 3× GelRed for up to 1 h. Gels were imaged using a BioRad Geldoc XR+ gel imager. The UV lamp setup described here was maintained in all remaining experiments.

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.
