vHip samples underwent subcellular fractionation protocols as in [33 (link)]. Cellular and membrane samples (50 µg/subject) were then subjected to SDS-PAGE and Western Blot protocols using TRPV1 primary antibody (Thermo Fisher PA1-29421; 1:1000). Primary antibodies for Beta-actin (Thermo Fisher PA1-183; 1:1000) and Na+/K+ ATPase (MilliporeSigma 05-382; 1:1000) and associated secondaries (Vector PI-1000 and PI-2000; 1:1000) were used as respective loading controls for cellular and membrane samples. Optical density of all bands was imaged and quantified using ChemiDoc XRS (Bio-Rad) and Image Lab software. Bands were normalized by calculating the ratio of TRPV1 to loading control optical density for each animal. All data reflect the average of samples run in duplicate.

Proliferative activity in the DG SGZ was determined by immunohistochemical staining of the nuclear antigen of proliferating cells (PCNA) using mouse monoclonal anti-PCNA antibodies (1:500, ab29) (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). Secondary antibodies conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (PI-1000, anti-rabbit; PI-2000, anti-mouse) were used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (1:100; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA).

PIP strip membranes (P-6001 – Echelon) were blocked with 0.1% ovalbumin (in TBST - 0.1M Tris, 1.5M NaCl, 0.1% Tween 20, pH 8.0) for two hours. The membranes were then incubated with 0.005 µg/ml of purified GST-tagged protein in 0.1% ovalbumin overnight at 4°C. After three washes with TBST for ten minutes each, the membranes were incubated with primary antibody for two hours. The following primary antibodies were used: 1:1500 mouse anti-Hts-1B1 and 1:10,000 mouse anti-GST (SAB4200237 – Sigma-Aldrich). The membranes were next washed twice with TBST and blocked twice with 0.1% ovalbumin for ten minutes each. The membranes were then incubated with a 1:2000 dilution of peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody (PI-2000 – Vector Labs) for one hour, followed by four washes with TBST for 15 minutes each. Signal was detected using the BM Chemiluminescence Western Blotting Peroxidase Substrate. Using Photoshop, the film image was inverted and the signal intensity for each lipid spot was measured as mean gray value normalized against the blank. Experiments were done in triplicate with data expressed as absolute values to the control and presented as ‘mean±sem’. Student's t-tests were performed for all statistical comparisons.

A standard Western Blott protocol was used as previously described18 (link). hPDL-derived cells (in basal media) were harvested using trypsin/EDTA (Gibco), washed twice with PBS, resuspended in RIPA lysis buffer (Millipore) in the presence of protease inhibitors (PierceTM. protease inhibitor Mini Tables, Pierce Biotechnology Inc) and PMSF 1 M (Abcam) for 30 min at 4 °C. Protein concentration was determined using the bradford protein assay (Sigma-Aldrich). Proteins were separated in 8% SDS-polyacryamide gel (PAGE-SDS) and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Whatman). PageRuler™ Prestained Protein Ladder (Thermo Scientific) has been used as size standards in protein electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western-Blotting. After transfer, nitrocellulose membranes were stained with Ponceau S solution (Sigma-Aldrich) to visualize protein bands. Blots were then incubated over-night at 4 °C with rabbit antibody against β-III-tubulin (TUJ1; 1:1000, Covance). Secondary antibody was used at 1:7000 for peroxidase anti-mouse Ab (PI-2000, Vector Laboratories). Immunoreactivity was detected using the enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) Western blot detection system (Amersham Biosciences Europe) and LuminataTM Forte (Millipore corporation) using ImageQuant LAS 500 Gel Documentation System (GE Healthcare). The molecular weight of β-III-tubulin is approximately 55 kDa.

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.
