Quantifying Cathepsins and Cystatin C in AAA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the levels of cathepsins B, D, K, L and S and cystatin C in the serum of AAA patients and the 10 healthy volunteers, immunoprecipitation was performed using the Catch and Release v2.0 Reversible Immunoprecipitation System, according to the manufacturer's instructions (Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA). The following Abs were used for detection: cathepsin B (ab30443, Abcam), cathepsin D (ab6313, Abcam), cathepsin K (ab37259, Abcam), cathepsin L (ab49984, Abcam), cathepsin S (ab18822, Abcam) and cystatin C (rabbit polyclonal to cystatin C; ab33487, Abcam). Following immunoprecipitation, the samples underwent western blot analysis as described above.

Osteoclast Characterization by Immunofluorescence

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mature osteoclasts were fixed in ice-cold methanol or PBS containing 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with anti-vATPase subunit e1 (1:1000, PA5-29899, Thermo Fisher), anti-Cathepsin K (1:100, ab37259, Abcam), anti-Vinculin (1:100, V9264, Sigma), or control antibody (1:100, 5415 S, Cell Signaling), followed by fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies, following manufacturer’s instructions (Fisher). Some cells were also stained with Alexa Fluor 647-labeled Phalloidin (Thermo Fisher), following manufacturer’s instructions. The nuclei were stained with 1 µg/ml of Hoechst 33342 (Fisher) in PBS. Images were taken on an EVOS FL Auto (Thermo Fisher) and analyzed using the accompanying software. Because of intense TRAP staining in Elmo1−/− osteoclast cultures, we counted the number of osteoclasts after cathepsin K staining by immunofluorescence. Cathepsin K-positive cells with three or more nuclei were counted using Image J. RosaYFP and Phalloidin stained osteoclast cultures were imaged on a Zeiss Imager Z2 with Apotome and analyzed using the AxioVision 4.8 software (Zeiss).

Western Blot Analysis of Osteoclast Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total protein was extracted with the RIPA buffer (Beyotime, China). Then, the concentration of these samples was determined with the BCA method (Beyotime, China). After that, these proteins were separated with the 8%-12% SDS-PAGE gel (Beyotime, China). These proteins were then transferred to the PVDF membranes (Millipore, USA). Then, these membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk powder. Following that, these membranes were incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. The primary antibodies used in this study were MYC (1:500; Abcam, ab32072), c-Fos (1:500; Abcam, ab222699), nuclear factor of activated T cell (NFATc1, 1:500; Abcam, ab25916), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP, 1:600; Abcam, ab52750), cathepsin K (CTSK, 1:600, Abcam, ab37259), PTEN (1:600, Abcam, ab267787) and GAPDH (1:1000, Abcam, ab9485). These membranes were incubated with the horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (1:1000; Cell signaling technology, 7074) for 2 h on the second day. Finally, the immunoreactive signals were detected by the Pierce Western blotting Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA).

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.
