At the end of experiments, the lenses (n = 3 per group) were washed with PBS and lysed in RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitors (Aidlab Biotechnologies, Beijing, China) for 30 min on ice. The lens lysates were centrifuged at 12,000×g for 20 min at 4 °C, and the proteins were quantified using the BCA kit. Protein samples (80 μg) were separated by 10% sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore, Billerica MA, USA). The membranes were blocked with 5% fat-free dry milk for 2 h and then incubated with a rabbit polyclonal antibody against SOD (1:300, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), CAT (1:300, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) (1:500, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), or GAPDH (1:1000, R&D Systems MN, USA) at 4 °C overnight. Then, the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology Inc., USA) for 2 h. Finally, the protein bands were developed using enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (Millipore). Images were obtained using a Kodak Image Station 4000R (Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, NY, USA) and analyzed using Kodak Image Software. The optical densities of specific immunopositive bands were normalized to the GAPDH band in the same sample.

Biopsies from ears treated either with various concentrations of DNFB or vehicle for 24 hours were homogenized individually and lysed simultaneously using Precellys technology from Bertin Technologies (Montigny-le-Bretonneux, France). Homogenized ear tissue samples were adjusted to 50 µg protein using Bradford assay, and subjected to SDS-PAGE using pre-casted 10% Bis-Tris acrylamide gel (BioRad, Copenhagen, DK). Proteins were then blotted to a PVDF membrane by wet-transfer and probed for Mult-1, Rae-1, H60 and GAPDH (R&D Systems, Abingdon, UK). Relative Mult-1 expression of treated mice was calculated based on semi-quantification of the Mult-1 bands obtained by Western blotting relative to the control samples from mice treated with vehicle and normalized to the amount of loaded protein.

RNA was extracted from rat uteri from each group using TRIzol (Life Tech). First strand of cDNA was synthesized using total RNA and RT-PCR was carried out by TaqMan expression assays, using glyceraldehyde-3-phosphatedehydrogenase (GAPDH) as a control (R&D Systems). The sequences for TSHR, TR-α1, TR-α2, TR-β, LIFR, Gp130, JAK1 and GAPDH were performed through the ABI PRISM system. Primer sequences are shown in Table 1 and were analyzed with BLAST software on NCBI. Reactions were performed in a total volume of 20 μL and gene expression was determined by SYBR Premix Ex Taq TM II (TaKaRa Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Reactions began with a 10 s hot activation of Taq polymerase at 95°C, followed by 40–45 cycles of amplification in three steps (denaturation at 95°C for 5 s, 30 s annealing at 60°C and 30 s extension at 72°C). The mRNA expression was measured as a ratio to GAPDH.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell lysates (100 000 cell equivalents per well) were probed with antibodies to GAPDH (R&D Systems), β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich), and ACE2 (Novus Biologicals). The appropriate secondary horseradish peroxidase antibodies were used for imaging with an iBright 1500 system (Invitrogen), and ImageJ (Version 1.49 23) software was used for quantification. Cell surface expression was measured by means of flow cytometry using ACE2–phycoerythrin (PE) (Novus Biologicals), as recommended by the manufacturer. Primary cell populations were incubated with CD19-PacificBlue (BioLegend), CD3–fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), CD4-FITC, CD8-FITC, CD14– allophycocyanin (APC), and CD56-AlexaFluor700 (all BD Biosciences). Primary cells were treated with human immunoglobulin G (10 µg/1 million cells) to block Fc receptors on B cells. Data were acquired on an LSR II flow cytometer using a single-stained AbC bead kit (ThermoFisher) for compensation [17 (link)]. Viable cells were gated based on forward and side scatter, doublets were excluded, and “fluorescence minus 1” controls were assessed. PE quantitation beads (BD Quantibrite) were analyzed, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, to quantify ACE2 molecules per cell. At least 10 000 total events were collected in each experiment and the FlowJo program (Tree Star) was used for data analysis.

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.
