Ripa buffer

Manufactured by Qiagen
Sourced in China

RIPA buffer is a protein extraction and lysis reagent used in biological research. It is a mixture of detergents, salts, and buffers that help solubilize and extract proteins from cells and tissues. RIPA buffer is commonly used to prepare cell and tissue lysates for various downstream applications, such as protein quantification, Western blotting, and immunoprecipitation.

Western blot analysis was performed according to a previous study (29 (link)). Briefly, tissue samples were homogenized in a RIPA buffer (Qiagen, Inc.) supplemented with a cocktail of proteinase inhibitors and with a cocktail of phosphatase inhibitors (both Roche Diagnostics). Protein concentrations were determined using a bicinchoninic acid kit (Pierce; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Proteins (20 µg/lane) were separated using 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.). After blocking with 5% bovine serum albumin/PBS at room temperature for 1 h, the membranes were incubated with primary LBP antibody (anti-LBP antibody; 1:1,000 dilution; cat. no. ab169776; Abcam) and β-actin (1:1,000 dilution; cat. no. 4970; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) overnight at 4°C. After washing with Tween-20 (0.05%) in PBS, the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody (1:2,000 dilution; cat. no. 7074; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) for 1 h at room temperature. LBP and β-actin were detected using ECL development solution (Pierce; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). LBP and β-actin expression levels were determined using Quantity One v4.6.2 software (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.). β-actin was used as a loading control.

The PD studies were conducted in athymic nude mice bearing MDA-MB-231 tumor xenografts by determining the effects of HVS on c-Met signaling. Mice were humanely euthanized at designated times following HVS administration, and resected breast tumor tissues were stored at −80°C until protein extracted. Breast tumor tissues were homogenized in RIPA buffer (Qiagen Sciences Inc., CA) using an electric homogenizer. Protein lysates were generated, and protein concentrations were determined using the BCA assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, CA). The levels of total and phosphorylated c-Met were determined using Western blot analysis. The visualization of β-tubulin was used to ensure equal sample loading in each lane. The experiment was repeated three times and representative Western blot images are shown in Figure 10D.

Frozen colon tissue samples were lysed in RIPA buffer (Qiagen) followed by centrifugation (12,000 rpm, 4°C, 15 minutes), after which the supernatants were stored at −80°C until use. Extracted proteins were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. The membrane was blocked with Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween 20 (pH 7.6) for 1 hour at room temperature. Subsequently, the PVDF membrane was immunoblotted overnight at 4°C with the primary antibody solution (1 : 1,000). After washing twice with TBST, the membrane was incubated with horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) for 1 hour at room temperature and thereafter washed three times with TBST. The final detection was performed with enhanced chemiluminescence Western blotting reagents (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences Corp.) and the membranes were exposed to Lumi-Film Chemiluminescent Detection Film (Roche Applied Science).
Loading differences were normalized by using the housekeeping control GAPDH. The primary antibodies used in this study included anti-omentin-1 and anti-GAPDH (both from Santa Cruz Biotechnology).

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.
