Phosphatase inhibitors 1 and 2

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Phosphatase inhibitors I and II are a set of reagents used in biochemical and cell biology research. These inhibitors are designed to temporarily block the activity of phosphatase enzymes, which play a role in the regulation of various cellular processes. The core function of these inhibitors is to provide a controlled environment for studying the effects of phosphatase activity on specific biological systems.

Primary fibroblasts were serum-starved for 18 h before treatment with 100 nM insulin for 5 min. Cells were lysed in 1× lysis buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM Na2EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1% Triton; Cell Signaling) supplemented with 1× COMPLETE protease inhibitors (Roche) and 1× phosphatase inhibitors I and II (Sigma-Aldrich). Cell lysates containing 150 μg of total protein were incubated with 5 μg α-INSR antibody (Cell Signaling, 3025), or 5 μg α-IGF1R antibody (Cell Signaling, 3018) at 4°C overnight. Immunocomplex was pulled down using Protein A-Sepharose (GE Healthcare). Input and immunoprecipitation samples were analyzed by Western blot using α-phosphotyrosine antibody (1:1,000; Millipore, 4G10 Platinum), or the above α-INSR (1:1,000) and α-IGF1R (1:1,000) antibodies. Twenty percent of input lysates were loaded as a control.

T cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) and phosphatase inhibitors I and II (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Protein concentrations were normalized using Pierce BCA Kit (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) and loaded to 4%–10% agarose gels (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA). Primary antibodies for Ubiquitin, ATF4, TCF7, HK2, β-actin, Tubulin, and anti-rabbit secondary were obtained from Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA, USA. p-ACC was obtained from Thermo Fisher (Waltham, MA, USA).

Radiation-Induced Apoptosis in Glioma Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western immunoblots of U87MG hGRM1-positive human glioma cells either treated with riluzole for 24 hours or no treatment were conducted. Both sets of cells were irradiated at 2 or 4 Gy. Lysates were made at 24, 48 or 72 hours after irradiation. Protein lysates were prepared by washing cells with PBS, adding extraction buffer (50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, pH 8.0, 1% NP40, 5% glycerol, 1mM Dithiothreitol, complete protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) and phosphatase inhibitors I and II (Sigma). The samples were resolved in 10% SDS-PAGE gels (Bio-Rad), after which they were transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. Membranes were blocked with 5% milk and 1% bovine serum albumin and then probed with antibodies against PARP, cleaved caspase-3, or γH2AX. The same blot was probed with α-tubulin or loading controls to show equal loading.

Protein Extraction and Immunoblotting for T-Cell Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
T cells were lysed in RIPA Buffer (Sigma) supplemented with Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Cell Signaling Technology) and Phosphatase Inhibitors I and II (Sigma). Protein concentrations were normalized using Pierce BCA Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and loaded to 4%–10% agarose gels (Bio-Rad). P-eIF2α, eIF2α, PERK, CHOP, ATF4, β-actin, and HRP-linked anti-rabbit and mouse secondaries were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology, ERO1α was obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnologies. Phospho protein was developed with Pierce ECL Plus Western Blotting Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Serum Deprivation and Inhibitor Effects

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sub-confluent cells (50%) serum-deprived for 24 hours were treated with either EGF or OA and in the presence or absence of pharmacological inhibitors for the indicated times. When indicated, cells were treated with ribosomal inhibitor Geneticin (G418) [21 (link)] at 1 mg/ml 30 minutes before the main stimulation to prevent de novo synthesis of proteins. Cells were harvested and lysed with 20 mM TRIS pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1.2 mM MgCl2, 0.5% Nonidet p40, 1 mM DTT, 25 mM NaF and 25 mM beta-glycerophosphate supplemented with phosphatase inhibitors (I and II) and protease inhibitors (all from Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA). The extracts were analysed by SDS-PAGE followed by Western blot (WB) using the appropriate antibodies. WBs were developed using Horseradish peroxidase substrate (ECL) (GE Healthcare, GE, Little Chalfont, United Kingdom) and images were taken with a Chemidoc XRS® (Bio-Rad, Hercules, Ca, USA).

Western Blot Protocol for Protein Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were scraped in lysis buffer [mPER (Thermo Scientific, #78501) +Protease Inhibitor (Thermo Scientific, #78425) +Phosphatase Inhibitors I and II (Sigma-Aldrich, P2850 and P5726)], spun for 10 min at 4°C, and then supernatants were transferred to new tubes. Protein concentrations were determined with a BCA kit (Thermo Scientific, #23227). Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and then transferred to PVDF membranes. Non-specific binding was blocked by incubating membranes with TBST +5% non-fat milk for 30 min. Membranes were then incubated overnight with primary antibodies. After washing with TBST, membranes were incubated with the appropriate HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies. Bound antibodies were detected with SuperSignal West Dura Extended Duration Substrate (Thermo Scientific, #34075).

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.
