HEK293T and HeLa cells were seeded separately into 100 mm plates. HEK293T cells were co-transfected with ADAR1 or ADAR2 and 5HT2C expression vectors as described above. Twenty-four hours after transfecting HEK293T cells or seeding HeLa cells, cells were washed with 1× DPBS and incubated with high-glucose DMEM containing 3.7 or 0 g/l NaHCO3 for 24 h. HEK293T and HeLa whole cell lysates were prepared using RIPA lysis and extraction buffer. 20 μg of each sample was resolved by electrophoresis on a 4–20% gradient SDS-PAGE gel and then transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane using a Trans-Blot® SD semi-dry transfer cell (Bio-Rad). After blocking the membrane with Intercept PBS blocking buffer (LI-COR) for 1 h, the membrane was probed using either a mouse ADAR1 monoclonal antibody (sc-73408, Santa Cruz; 1:1000 dilution) or an affinity-purified rat ADAR2 antiserum (Exalpha Biologicals; 1:375 dilution), as well as a polyclonal affinity-purified β-actin antibody (sc-1616-R, Santa Cruz; 1:1000 dilution). ADAR1 and β-actin signals were detected using IRDye secondary antibodies (LI-COR; 1:20,000 dilution), and ADAR2 signals were detected using Alexa Fluor® 790 light-chain specific anti-sheep IgG secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch; 1:50,000). All blots were imaged using an Odyssey CLx infrared imaging system (LI-COR) and quantified using Image Studio Lite (LI-COR).

ADAR1 Protein Detection in Mouse Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Before tissues were collected from the mice, whole body perfusion was performed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with heparin to remove blood from the organs. The tissues were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen until analysis. For the brain sample collections, the cerebellum and olfactory bulb were removed prior to freezing. Homogenization was performed in RIPA buffer with the addition of protease inhibitor cocktail. ADAR1 protein in the brain tissues was detected using western blot as described previously [18 (link)]. In brief, 30 ug of protein extract was loaded to each lane and separated on 8% polyacrylamide gel with 0.1% SDS. ADAR1 was detected with ADAR1 antibody clone 15.8.6 (Santa Cruz sc-73408) at 1:1,000 dilution.

Transduced cells were lysed using M-PER lysis buffer with 5 mM EDTA and HALT protease inhibitor cocktail (all Thermo Scientific) and cleared by centrifugation at 14,000g at 4°C for 10 min. Protein concentrations were determined using Coomassie Plus Bradford reagent (Thermo Scientific) and equal amounts of protein were prepared using Laemmli buffer (Bio-Rad) with added DTT. After denaturation at 95°C for 5 min, proteins were separated on 4%–20% Mini-Protean TGX gels (Bio-Rad) and blotted onto PVDF membranes using the TransBlot Turbo Transfer system (Bio-Rad). Membranes were blocked with blocking buffer (5% milk, 5% FBS, 1% BSA, 1 M Glycine) at room temperature and probed with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. Primary antibodies were α-ADAR1 (sc-73408, Santa Cruz Biotechnology; 1:500), α-ADAR2 (sc-73409, Santa Cruz Biotechnology; 1:1000), and α-GAPDH (MAB374, Millipore; 1:25,000). Membranes were probed with α-mouse HRP secondary antibody (P0447, DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark) for 1 h at room temperature, and chemiluminescence was detected using Immobilon Forte Western HRP substrate (Millipore) on an Amersham Imager 600 (GE Healthcare).

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.
