Binding of NF-κB in nuclear extracts was assessed by the electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) using biotin-labeled double-stranded NF-κB (5′-CCAGTGGAATTCCCCAG-3′) oligonucleotides (EMSA Gel Shift Kit, Panomics Inc.). Binding reactions were carried out for 30 min at 15°C in a 25 μl mixture containing 6 μg of nuclear protein, 10 mM Tris, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.06% bromophenol blue, 0.25 μg of BSA, 2 μg poly(dI-dC), and 2 pmol of oligonucleotide probe (10 ng biotin-labeled NF-κB(p65) probe). Binding specificity was confirmed by competition with a 200-fold excess of unlabeled NF-κB oligonucleotides. Nuclear extracts from HeLa cells were also used as a positive CTR (EMSA Gel Shift Kit, Panomics). Protein-DNA complexes were separated through 6% nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE, 120 V in 0.5% Tris-borate-EDTA), transferred to positively charged nylon membranes (Pall Biodyne B® membrane, Pall Corporation, East Hills, NY) at 300 mA for 30 min, and UV cross-linked for 3 min. After blocking, bands were visualized by streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) reaction, followed by the enhanced chemiluminescence detection system (ECL, Amersham) and exposure to Kodak X-OMAT Autoradiography Film. Bands were quantified by densitometry using NIH-ImageJ software.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nuclear extracts were prepared using an NE-PER Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction kit (Thermo Scientific/Pierce). Two μg of nuclear protein extracts were incubated with biotin-labeled GM-CSFRα promoter DNA probes in binding buffer for 30 minutes on ice. All probes were synthesized by Sigma-Genosys. The sequences of the probes used are listed in Supplemental Table 2. Following incubation, the samples were separated on a 5% polyacrylamide gel in Tris-borate EDTA, transferred onto a nylon membrane, and fixed on the membrane by UV cross-linking. The biotin-labeled probe was detected with streptavidin horseradish peroxidase (EMSA Gel-Shift Kit, Affymetrix/Panomics). A 7-fold excess of unlabeled cold probes combined with biotin-labeled probes was used for competition control. To determine the effect of antibodies on protein-DNA binding, 1 μg of monoclonal mouse anti-human STAT3 (BD Biosciences; Cell Signaling Technology) or mouse anti-human phosphoserine STAT3 (Cell Signaling Technology) antibody was incubated with the nuclear extracts for 30 minutes on ice prior to adding the biotin-labeled DNA probe. The isotypic controls consisted of mouse Ig G1 (BD Biosciences).

Nuclear extracts were subjected to the EMSA “Gel Shift” Kit (Panomics) according to the manufacturer’s specifications. This assay enabled the simultaneous detection and semiquantitative comparison of the DNA-binding activity of NF-κB (5′-AGTTGAGGGGAC TTTCCCAGGC-3′), AP-1 (5′-GCCTTGATGACTCAG CCGGAA) and STAT-1 (5′-CATGTTATGCA TATTCCTGTA AGTG-3′) from nuclear extracts in mouse brain and primary cultured astrocytes. Biotin-labeled DNA-binding oligonucleotides were incubated with 10 mg of nuclear extract at 15 °C for 30 min to allow the formation of NF-κB/DNA, AP-1/DNA and STAT-1/DNA complexes. Complexes were separated from the free probes by 6% non-denaturing gel electrophoresis in 0.5× Tris/Borate/EDTA buffer (TBE) at 120V for 15 min. The probes in the complexes were then extracted, ethanol-precipitated, and hybridized to an EMSA “Gel Shift” Kit array. Signals were detected using SuperSignal (Thermo).

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.
