Quantifying Protein Levels in MEFs

MEFs grown on six wells were harvested in lysis buffer containing 25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 300 mM NaCl and 1% Triton with protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Tissues were minced by a Dounce homogenizer using 1-2 ml RIPA buffer. A total of 30 µg of protein were separated on 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes. After blocking of the membranes by 5% dry milk/TTBS, membranes were incubated in following primary antibody solutions: anti-Smurf1 (Novus, 1D7); anti-Smurf2 (Abcam, EP629Y3); anti-Smad1 (Cell Signaling, 9743); anti-Smad2 (Abcam, EP784Y); anti-Smad3 (Abcam, ab28379), anti-Smad5 (Abcam, EP619Y), anti-phospho-Smad1/5 (Cell Signaling, 41D10), anti-phospho-Smad2 (Cell Signaling, 138D4); anti-phospho-Smad3 (Rockland, 600-401-919), GAPDH (Santa Cruz, 0411), HSC70 (Santa Cruz, B-6). Protein detection was carried out using HRP-coupled species-specific secondary antibodies and ECL solution, exposed to Hyperfilm ECL.

Western Blot analysis was performed as described previously (Borden et al., 2019 (link)). Briefly, sample concentrations were determined using the Bicinchoninic assay (BCA) according to manufacturer’s protocol and ran on a Mini-PROTEAN TGX Gels (Bio-rad). Primary antibodies against Acta2 (1:1000, rabbit polyclonal, Abcam, catalog ab5694), GAPDH (1:1000, mouse monoclonal, Millipore Sigma, catalog MAB374), CTGF (1:000, rabbit polyclonal, Abcam, catalog ab6992), P-SMAD2 (1:1000, rabbit polyclonal, Millipore Sigma, catalog ZRB04953), SMAD2 (1:1000, rabbit polyclonal, Abcam, catalog EP784Y), and Vimentin (1:1000, mouse monoclonal, Abcam, catalog ab8978) overnight at 4°C, and incubated with the appropriately conjugated light-sensitive IRDye secondary antibodies (1:5000, LiCOR) for 1 h at room temperature, and visualized.

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.
