The chemical (2S, 3S)-1,4-Bis-sulfanylbutane-2,3-diol (DTT, CAS No. 3483-12-3) was obtained from Sigma; it is a strong reductant with the chemical formula C4H10O2S2 and MW of 154.25 g/mol. Its reducibility is largely due to the conformational stability after oxidation (containing disulfide bond). In this experiment, 3.09 g DTT powder was completely dissolved in 20 mL 0.01 M sodium acetate to obtain 1 M DTT stock solution, which was packed and stored at −20 °C before use.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TDSCs were treated with H2O2 or pretreated with PCs for 24 h as for Real-Time PCR. Afterward, TDSCs were washed with PBS, lysed in lysis buffer, and kept on ice for 5 min by Whole Protein Extract Kit (Jiancheng Bioengineering, Nanjing). Cell lysates were centrifuged at 20,000 rpm at 4°C for 5 min, and the supernatants were stored at −80°C until use. Protein concentrations were measured by using a protein assay kit (Jiancheng Bioengineering, Nanjing). Twenty micrograms of total protein were diluted in loading buffer, separated by SDS/PAGE, and electroblotted onto PVDF membranes. The membranes were then blocked with TBS-Tween 20 solution containing 5% nonfat dry milk and incubated overnight at 4°C with specific antibodies against Nrf-2 (1 : 200) (ab31163, Abcam, USA), GCLM (1 : 1000) (ab126704, Abcam, USA), HO-1 (1 : 200) (ab68477, Abcam, USA), and β-actin (ab8226, Abcam, USA). Proteins were visualized using goat anti-rabbit conjugated to HRP and a Chemiluminescence Western Blotting Detection system (34079, Thermo Pierce, 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.
