Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total cell lysates were obtained from PC12 cells using radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer solution (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) containing proteinase and phosphatase inhibitors (Beijing Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd.). The protein concentration was determined using a bicinchoninic acid protein assay kit (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA). The supernatant (30 µg protein) from the cell lysates was separated using SDS-PAGE (10%) and blotted on to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.). The membranes were subsequently blocked with 5% non-fat milk for 1.5 h in Tris-buffered saline (TBS)/Tween 20 buffer at 25°C and then incubated overnight with the primary antibodies against caspase-3 (1:800), Bax (1:1,000), Bcl-2 (1:900), or β-actin (1:1,500; used as the control protein for normalization of the blots) at 4°C. After washing three times with TBS, the membranes were incubated at 25°C for 3 h with goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP (1:1,500; cat. no. sc-2005) or goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP (1:1,500; cat. no. sc-2004); the second antibodies were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. Detection of the signal was performed using an enhanced chemiluminescence system (Pierce; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), and the intensity of the bands was determined via scanning and quantification using the Bio-Rad Gel Doc™ 2000 imaging system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.).

The inhibitory action of DHP-based HHQ derivatives on the in vitro DNA binding activity of HsrA was assessed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), as previously described (González et al., 2019b (link)). Briefly, recombinant HsrA protein (5 μM) was mixed with 120 ng of its target promoter (PporGDAB) in a 20 μl reaction volume containing 10 mM bis-Tris (pH 7.5), 40 mM KCl, 100 mg/L BSA, 1 mM DTT and 5% glycerol, in the presence of 3, 2, and 1 mM of each 1,4-DHP derivative. DMSO instead of DHP was included as vehicle control, while an internal sequence of the gene pkn22 (alr2502) from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 was used as non-specific competitor DNA in all assays. Mixtures were incubated at room temperature for 20 min and subsequently separated in a 6% native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Gels were stained with SYBR Safe® (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and analyzed by using a Bio-Rad Gel Doc 2000 Imaging System (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, United States).

Quantitative Analysis of Immunoblotting

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Quantitative analysis of immunoblotting was performed using Quantity-One software (Gel Doc 2000 imaging system, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA). For protein level, the protein ratio of BLM (band density of protein/band density of β-actin) was set as 100% in the BPH or NC group. The data from other groups were expressed as a percentage of the BPH or NC group. The values are presented as the mean ± standard error. Statistical analysis was conducted by one-way analysis of variance followed by all pairwise multiple comparison procedures using the Bonferroni test and Student's t-test. P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.

The RIPA buffer [20 mmol/L Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 2 mmol/L EGTA, 150 mmol/L sodium chloride, 1% Triton-X 100, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 2 mmol/L sodium orthovanadate and 100 mmol/L sodium fluoride] containing a cocktail of protease inhibitors (Roche, West Sussex, United Kingdom) was used to extract proteins from rat hearts. The concentrations of the extracted proteins were quantified by PierceTM BCA Protein Assay Kit. Then the proteins were boiled for 5 min and subsequently separated by electrophoresis on a 12% SDS polyacrylamide gel. After separating, the proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes. The membranes were incubated with the primary antibodies against Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, JAK2, p-JAK2, STAT3, p-STAT3, and β-actin overnight at 4°C. Then, the membranes were washed with TBST buffer and incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody in TBST buffer at 37°C for 2 h. Finally, the membranes were washed and visualized using PierceTM ECL Plus Western Blotting Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat No. 32132), and the bands were scanned and quantified using Bio-Rad Gel Doc 2000 imaging system.

RNA isolation from E9.5 embryos or E16.5 tissues with subsequent cDNA synthesis was performed as described above. Primers located in exon 2 and exon 7 (Ex2Ex7; see Suppl. Table 1 for primer sequences) together with either the Platinum® Taq DNA Polymerase High Fidelity or the AmpliTaq Gold® DNA Polymerase (both Invitrogen) were used to amplify the loxP-flanked region ranging from exon 4 through exon 6. The resulting PCR products were separated on an agarose gel and photographed using the Gel Doc 2000 imaging system (BioRad). PCR products from E9.5 embryos were extracted from the gel and purified applying the QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen), followed by sequencing using the Ex2Ex7 primers. Alternatively, PCR fragments were cloned into the pCR4-TOPO® TA sequencing vector using the TOPO TA Cloning® Kit (Invitrogen) and sequenced with the included M13 primer.
Yolk sac DNA from E9.5 embryos was amplified using Platinum® Taq DNA Polymerase High Fidelity (Invitrogen) with the primer pairs Intron3F2 and Intron6R3, or MSF5-6 F (located in intron 4) and MSF5-6 R (located in intron 6) (Suppl. Table 1). The resulting PCR product was loaded on an agarose gel, purified using QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen) and sent for sequencing (Eurofins Genomics).

PCR products from both PCR reactions were separated on a 1.8% agarose gel (Sigma-Aldrich, Burlington, MA, USA) at 130 V for 30 min. The gel was stained with ethidium bromide (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA) and the results were visualized using BioRad Gel Doc 2000 Imaging System on Quantity One 4.4.0 Analysis Software. PCR amplicons from the second PCR (primer pair Ca-NEU-4F/Ca-NEU-4R) of appropriate length were excised from the agarose gel and purified using the FastGene Gel/PCR Extraction Kit (Nippon Genetics Europe, Düren, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The purified PCR amplicons were Sanger sequenced at Macrogen Europe (Amsterdam, The Netherlands). Sequences were analyzed using Finch TV 1.4.0 (Geospiza Inc., Seattle, WA, USA) and queried against the GenBank database [30 (link)] using BLASTn [31 (link)]. Obtained partial neuraminidase gene sequences were deposited into the GenBank database. A Clustal Omega alignment [32 (link)] of partial neuraminidase gene sequences was carried out, comparing the nucleotide sequences to other known mycoplasma neuraminidase genes, accessible in the GenBank database.

Caco2 cell clones (control and KR4) were grown in 75 cm2 flask to reach 80% confluence. Then cells were trypsinized, counted and irradiated at different doses of γ-radiation in a Cs-137 irradiator. Cells were plated in 6 well plates in triplicates (EMEM with 10% FCS). After two weeks of incubation, colonies were fixed with 3:1 ratio of methanol-acetic acid and stained with 0.5% crystal violet solution. Colony images were taken on Gel doc-2000 imaging system and counted using Quantity One software (Bio-Rad laboratories). The surviving fraction was normalized to the corresponding un-irradiated control. For Rad51 inhibitor study, cells were treated with 27 μM of BO2 (Rad51 inhibitor) or DMSO (vehicle 1.35%) for 1 h and then the clonogenic assay was performed.

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.
