CagA Translocation Assay in AGS Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Translocation of CagA into AGS cells was analyzed by co-culturing H. pylori strains with AGS cells and detecting tyrosine phosphorylation of CagA, as previously described [42 (link)]. Briefly, H. pylori and AGS human gastric cells were co-cultured at a MOI of 100:1 for 4 h at 37°C in six-well plates. After infection time the cells were put on ice and washed with PBS. Then PBS containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors (1mM Na3VO4 (Sigma), 1mM PMSF (AppliChem), 1μM leupeptin (AppliChem), 1μM pepstatin (AppliChem)) was added and the cells were scraped off the six-well plates. After centrifugation the cell sediment was resuspended in PBS containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors. CagA translocation was assessed by separating the soluble fraction using SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting with an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (PY99, Santa Cruz Biotechnology).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nanovesicles were isolated from Piccadilly variety tomato fruits (200 g, Vittoria Colonna s.r.l., Sicily, Italy) by differential ultracentrifugation (dUC) according to Bokka et al. [1 (link)]. In brief, after washing and removing exocarp, tomatoes were homogenized in a kitchen mixer homogenizer by 3 cycles of 10 s in extraction buffer composed of 100 mM phosphate, 10 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (J.T. Baker, Deventer, The Netherlands) (pH 8, 170 mL) containing protease inhibitors 1 mg/mL leupeptin (0.085 mL, AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany), 100 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF, 0.425 mL) and 1 M sodium azide (0.272 mL) AppliChem, Darmstadt, Germany). The isolation of NVs were performed using four low-velocity centrifugation steps at increasing centrifugal force, i.e., 400× g, 800× g, 2000× g and 15,000× g each of them for 30 min at 22 °C. Supernatant from the last low-velocity centrifugation step was centrifuged at 100,000× g for 2 h at 4 °C using an SW28Ti rotor in Beckman Coulter Optima L-90K ultracentrifuge (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA). The pellet containing the NVs was re-suspended in a small volume of buffer.

Protein Extraction and Western Blot Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were lysed in buffer containing 10 mmol/l Tris/HCl, pH 8.0, 150 mmol/l NaCl, 10 mmol/l, 5 mmol/l EDTA, 0.5 % Triton X-100, 60 mmol/l N-octylglucoside, supplemented with 40 mg/l PMSF and protease inhibitor mix (antipain, aprotinin, leupeptin, chymostatin, pepstatin, trypsin inhibitor; 2 mg/ml each; all from AppliChem). After determination of protein concentration by Bradford assay, equal amounts of proteins were boiled in Laemmli buffer and separated by SDS-PAGE gel. After transfer of proteins onto nitrocellulose membranes and blocking with Roti-Block (Carl Roth), the following primary antibodies were used: anti-flotillin-1, flotillin-2 both from BD Biosciences (610821, 610384) and Santa Cruz (sc-25506, sc-25507). Caveolin-1 and caveolin-2 from Abnova (MAB2408) and Cell Signaling (8522). The antibody for VCAM-1(sc-8304), ICAM-1(sc-8439) and p65(sc-109) were from Santa Cruz, GAPDH (G8795) from Sigma-Aldrich. IRF-3 (4302) and pIRF-3 (Ser 385) (4947) were from Cell Signaling. PERK (Thr 981) (sc-32577) and eIF2α (Ser52) (sc-101670) from Santa Cruz. Western blot analysis was performed with an infrared-based laser scanning detection system (Odyssey, Licor). The infrared fluorescent-dye-conjugated secondary antibodies were purchased from Licor.

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.
