DC2.4 cells or sCD83-treated DC2.4 cells were lysed with RIPA buffer (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). Identical quantities of protein were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. Subsequently, 5% non-fat dry milk in Tris-buffered saline 0.1% Tween 20 (TBS-T) was used to block non-specific binding sites for 1 h. After washing with TBS-T, membranes were incubated with primary antibodies against mouse Rab1a (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), LRRK2 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), F-actin, MHC-II (R&D Systems, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA), and GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA) at 4°C for overnight. Membranes were then washed and incubated with secondary antibodies (goat-anti-rabbit IgG antibodies) conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) for 1 h. Finally, the membranes were developed using the Super Signal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). Densitometric analyses were performed using the ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Protein samples were prepared from the homogenized lysates of mouse brain tissue, and the concentrations were detected with the Pierc BCA Protein Assay Kit (Invitrogen). Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE gel (Epizyme, China), transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane, and blocked with 5% milk for 1 h at RT. The membranes were then incubated with the following primary antibodies: LRRK2 (Abcam), AQP4 (Proteintect), p-Ser (Millipore), and GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology) overnight at 4 °C and a secondary antibody (Cell Signaling Technology) for 1 h at RT. Finally, the membrane was visualized using a chemiluminescence method. All blots or gels derive from the same experiment and they were processed in parallel.

The following antibodies were used in this study: mouse monoclonal antibodies against ß-actin (Merck) and GAPDH (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), and rabbit monoclonal antibodies against MFN2 (Abcam, Tokyo, Japan), LRRK2 (Abcam), LRRK2 pS935 (Abcam), RAB10 (Abcam), RAB10 pT73 (Abcam), and TOMM20 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse and anti-rabbit donkey IgG antibodies were purchased from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories (West Grove, PA, USA). Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-rabbit goat IgG and Alexa Fluor 555-conjugated anti-mouse goat IgG antibody were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). Cis-2,6-dimethyl-4-(6-(5-(1-methylcyclopropoxy)-1H-indazol-3-yl)pyrimidin-4-yl)morpholine (MLi-2) was purchased from Cayman Chemical Co (Ann Arbor, MI, USA).

Western blot analysis was performed as previously described [8 (link)]. Cells were harvested and lysed in ice-cold RIPA lysis buffer, which contained protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma). Protein concentration was measured using Bradford Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime, China). Subsequently, 30 μg of total protein samples from the cleared lysates were separated on a 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE) and then electrotransferred to nitrocellulose membranes. The membranes were blocked with 1% BSA for an hour and then further incubated with primary antibodies against Sp1 (1:1000, Abcam), LRRK2 (1:1000, Abcam), α-synuclein (1:2000, Abcam) or GAPDH (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology) at 4° C overnight. The following day, the blots were washed three times in TBST buffer and then incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. The blots were scanned with an Odyssey infrared scanner (Li-Cor Biosciences Inc.), and protein levels were quantified using ImageJ.

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.
