The protein concentration was determined using the BCA protein concentration detection kit (Aspen, Wuhan, China). Equal amounts of proteins were then separated on 10% SDS-PAGE and electroblotted onto a PVDF membrane. Next, the membrane was incubated overnight at 4°C with the primary antibodies:
anti-TLR4 (19811-1-AP, 1:1000; Proteintech, Rosemont, IL, USA),
anti-p- NF-κB p65 (#3033, 1:500; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA),
anti-NF-κB p65 (#8242, 1:3000; Cell Signaling Technology), and
GAPDH (ab181602, 1:10000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK). After that, the membrane was probed with a secondary antibody (
AS1107, 1:10000; Aspen) at room temperature. Subsequently, the bands were developed with an enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (Aspen ) and the band intensity was analyzed using the AlphaEaseFC software.
