The generation and purification of the rabbit polyclonal antibody specific for p53 dimethylated at K382 was described previously (Kachirskaia et al., 2008 (link)). The anti-p53K381ac antibody was obtained from Abcam (ab61241, Abcam, Cambridge, MA). Peptides were dissolved in water to yield 1 or 2 mg/mL stock solutions. The peptides were further diluted into 0.1% BSA in PBS. One microliter of the peptide dilutions were spotted onto a Whatman Protran nitrocellulose membrane (0.45 µm pore size, GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Pittsburgh, PA), allowed to air dry for 1h at room temperature and stored at 4 °C overn ight. Membranes were blocked with 1% BSA in PBS-T (PBS with 0.1% Tween-20) for 1h, incubated with a 1:100 dilution of antip53K382me2 for 1h at 4 °C, then washed 5 times with PBS-T. The membranes were incubated with horse radish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) for 1h at room temperature with shaking, then washed 5 times with PBS-T. Images were developed with ECL Plus substrate (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) and exposed to Hyperfilm ECL (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Pittsburgh, PA) or imaged using a ChemiDoc MP imaging system (BioRad).

Thirty milligrams of small intestinal tissue was homogenized and lysed in M-PER mammalian protein extraction reagent (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). Protein concentration was estimated using the bicinchoninic acid protein assay kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Jiangsu, China). Cell lysates (50 μg) were loaded onto 5–10% gradient polyacrylamide gels. Proteins were electroblotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, MA, USA) and immunolabeled using anti-SIRT1 antibody (1:800, ab28170, Abcam Biotechnology, Cambridge, MA, USA), anti-acetylated p53 antibody (1:600, ab61241, Abcam Biotechnology, Cambridge, MA, USA), anti-SOD2 antibody (1:1000, ab68155, Abcam Biotechnology, Cambridge, MA, USA), and antibodies against β-actin (1:2000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Enhanced chemiluminescence plus reagent (Boster Biotechnology Co., Wuhan, China) was used for chemiluminescent signal detection. Quantitative analysis was performed using Quantity One software version 4.6.2 (http://www.bio-rad.com/en-us/product/quantity-one-1-d-analysis-software).

Western Blot Analysis of Cell Protein

Radio‐immunoprecipitation assay buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was applied to lyse the cells or tissues to obtain total protein. Then, the protein was quantified with the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime) following the conditions suggested by the manufacturer. A quantity of 40 μg of total protein was used for SDS‐PAGE followed by electrophoretic transfer onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. After blocking, the membranes were incubated with an anti‐GAPDH antibody (ab181603, 1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), rabbit polyclonal anti‐Fas antibody (ab82419, 1:1000; Abcam), rabbit polyclonal anti‐p53 antibody (ab61241, 1:1000; Abcam) or rabbit polyclonal Anti‐Egr1 antibody (ab208780, 1:1000; Abcam) in TBST containing 5% non‐fat milk overnight at 4°C. After washing three times with TBST, the membranes were incubated with a goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) pre‐adsorbed (ab7090; Abcam, Cambridge, MA) at a dilution of 1:2000 in phosphate‐buffered saline with 0.1% Tween 20 (PBST) for 1 hour at room temperature (RT). The membranes were subsequently washed three times with PBST, and the electrochemiluminescence plus system (Beyotime) was used to visualize the protein bands. The density of the immunoblot was analysed using the Lab Works 4.5 software (Ultra‐Violet Products, Cambridge, UK).

Immunostaining Analysis of SIRT1 and p53

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunostaining analysis of the tissues or cells was performed as described previously [26 (link)]. Rabbit anti-SIRT1 for tissue (sc15404; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA., USA), rabbit antiacetylated-p53 (ab61241; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), rabbit anti-α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) antibody (ab32575; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), and fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG (sc-2012; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) were used in the immunostaining assay for the tissues. Images were taken using the Olympus BX60 microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) or TCS SP5 II confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany), under the same condition. Expression levels of SIRT1 and acetylated-p53 were analyzed with the average optic density using the IPP 6.0 software. Rabbit antiacetylated-p53 (ab61242; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), rabbit anti-SIRT1 for cell (2977886; Millipore, Billerica, MA., USA), and Alexa fluor 488 donkey anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) were used in the immunostaining for cells. Microscopic images were taken using a TCS SP5 II confocal microscope. The average fluorescence intensity of SIRT1 and acetylated-p53 was analyzed using the IPP 6.0 software. Apoptosis was assessed using a TUNEL apoptosis assay kit (G7130; Promega, Madison, WI, USA) in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction.

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.
