The radio immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) protein lysate was adopted to extract the total protein (TP) in the AA, and the Bicinchoninic Acid (BCA) kit was utilized for quantitative analysis of TP. 20 μg of TP was added to the loading buffer, separated with 10% of sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), then transferred to the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane, and blocked with 5% of fetal bovine serum for 45 min to incubate the primary antibody; it was kept at 4°C overnight, and cleaned with Tris Buffered Saline Twee (TBST) for 3 times; after the secondary antibody was added, it was incubated for h at the room temperature, washed with TBST 3 times, and then electrochemiluminescence reagent (ECL) was utilized to emit light in a dark room. The target band was analyzed by using gel imaging system and Quantity One 4.6.2 of Bio-Rad (USA). Reduced glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was adopted as an internal reference. Rabbit polyclonal antibodies p-AMPK and p-mTOR and goat anti-rabbit secondary antibodies were ordered from Beyotime Biotechnology (Shanghai, China).

Total proteins of the cells were extracted (RIPA lysis buffer, Sigma) and measured (BCA Protein Assay Kit, Pierce Biotechnology). Protein homogenates were run on SDS‐PAGE gel (Beyotime) and transferred onto a PVDF membrane (Millipore). After 5% milk blocking, the membranes were incubated overnight in primary antibodies: AMPK (1:1000; Beyotime), P‐AMPK (1:1000; Beyotime), p‐p65 (1:2000), and p65 (1:2000), ERK1/2 (1:2000), p‐ERK1/2, p38 MAPK and p‐p38 (Abcam) at 4°C. GAPDH served as the internal reference. After secondary antibodies (Abcam) incubation for 2 hours at 37°C, the membranes were subjected to the enhanced chemiluminescence for signal intensity quantification (Bio‐Rad).

ASCs were washed with PBS and lysed in RIPA buffer (Beyotime, China) supplemented with 1% PMSF and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Beyotime, China) on ice, and they were subsequently lysed by ultrasound. After centrifugation at 12000 × g at 4°C for 10 min, the supernatant containing the total protein was obtained. Equal amounts of total lysate were subjected to 12% SDS-PAGE, then transferred to a PVDF membrane (Solarbio, China), blocked with 5% nonfat milk, then incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, and further incubated with secondary antibodies (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, USA) at room temperature for 2 h before being visualized by a hypersensitive ECL chemiluminescence kit (Beyotime, China). Quantification of WB data was performed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, USA), and the expression of target proteins was normalized to β-actin. The first antibodies used in the experiment are shown as follows: Bcl-2 (1 : 1000, Santa Cruz, USA), AIF (1 : 1000, Santa Cruz, USA), Bax, SIRT3, Parkin, LC3, p62, β-actin (1 : 1000, Cell Signaling Technology, USA), PINK1, acetyl-SOD2-K68 and SOD2 (1 : 1000, Abcam, UK), PGC-1α, p-AMPK, and t-AMPK (1 : 1000, Beyotime, China).

Neutrophil Protein Phosphorylation Dynamics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neutrophils were seeded into the 6-well plate and treated with NaF (0.25, 0.5, and 1 mM) for 2 h. Previous studies showed that these proteins are still phosphorylated when neutrophils were stimulated by toxins, such as Ochratoxin A, Fumonisin B1, and sodium arsenic [20 (link)–22 (link)]. Meanwhile, NET formation was detected 2 h after NaF stimulation. Therefore, we chose 2 h based on these previous published articles. Total protein was extracted using the Protein Extraction Reagent Kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, China). The protein concentration was measured by the BCA protein quantitative kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, China). The extracted samples were separated by 12% SDS-PAGE and transferred to the PVDF membrane. The membrane was sealed by 5% BSA at room temperature for 2 h. Then, the membrane was incubated with primary antibodies: p38 (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat# 8690), p-p38 (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat# 9215), p-AMPK (Beyotime, Cat#AA393), AMPK (Proteintech, Cat#10929-2-AP), and β-actin (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat# 8457) at 4°C overnight and the second antibody (1 : 10000, ImmunoWay, RS0001, RS0002) at room temperature for 2 h. The reactivity of the primary antibodies used in this study is against Cyprinus carpio. The ECL Plus Western Blotting detection system was used to detect the signal. Finally, the gray level was analyzed by ImageJ software.

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.
