For the in vitro caspase-1 and IL-18 analysis, 40 μl of supernatant was loaded onto 4–12% Bis-Tris SDS gel (NuPAGE Novex, Life Technologies) after denaturing the proteins in Laemmli buffer. Gels were run in MOPS SDS buffer (NuPAGE MOPS SDS running buffer (20×), Life Technologies). Magic Mark XP Western Standard (Invitrogen) was used as a molecular weight marker. Proteins were transferred onto PVDF membranes in Tris-glycine buffer (20% methanol, Tris-glycine (10×), Bio-Rad). Membranes were blocked in 10% non-fat dry milk (TBS (20×) + 0.1% Tween 20) or 10% bovine serum albumin (TBS = 0.1% Tween 20) for the biotin-labeling experiments. Anti-caspase-1 and anti-IL-18 antibodies (1:1,000) were used to probe gels, and respective secondary antibodies (1:10,000) were subsequently added. Membranes were rinsed and washed 3 times with TBS + 0.1% Tween-20 between each of the incubation steps. Enhanced chemiluminescence solution (Amersham, GE Life Sciences) was used to detect labeled proteins and blots were developed using HyBlot CL autoradiography film (Denville Scientific Inc.) on a Konica Minolta SRX-101A film processor (Konica Minolta Medical Imaging U.S.A., Inc.).

The homogenates of spinal cord were used for western blot assay. Forty micrograms of protein per animal was resolved on a 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel and transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. The samples were electrophoresed in a 10% polyacrylamide gel. Protein samples were boiled in 2.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate and 5% β-mercaptoethanol. A total of 20 µg protein samples and markers (MagicMark XP Western Standard; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) of each group were electrophoresed at 20 mA for 90 minutes. Electrophoresis buffer was prepared by 25 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, 250 mM glycine and 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate. Proteins were transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (LC2002; Invitrogen) using transmembrane buffer and 10% methanol. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-p-ERK, p-Akt, p-JNK and GAPDH polyclonal antibodies (1:1,000; Beijing Biosynthesis Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) at room temperature for 1 hour, washed with PBS, and then incubated with horseradish peroxidase-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:1,000; Beijing Biosynthesis Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) at room temperature for 90 minutes. The samples were visualized with ECL Plus Kit (Amersham Bio-sciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA). Optical density values were analyzed using NIH ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Cells were lysed in lysis buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Nonidet P-40, 0.25% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with a complete protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) and phosphatase inhibitors (Sigma-Aldrich). Cell lysates were separated by SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and were transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. SDS-PAGE gels were calibrated using Magic Mark XP Western Standard (Invitrogen). After blocking with skim milk for 2 h, the membrane sections were incubated with the primary antibody and the corresponding secondary antibody. Primary antibodies were used at a dilution of 1:1000. Secondary antibodies (peroxidase-labeled anti-mouse and anti-rabbit antibodies) were used at a dilution of 1:5000. Finally, bound antibodies were captured by chemiluminescence using the ECL Prime Western blotting (WB) detection system (GE Healthcare), and luminescent images were analyzed with a Lumino Imager (LAS- 4000 mini; Fuji Film Inc.).

Quantitative Western Blot Analysis

For the western blot analysis, 0.3 μg of purified P7 was loaded on to a 12% SDS-PAGE gel. Identical loadings were performed for each of the five Mabs. After gel separation, the proteins were transferred onto a nitrocellulose transfer membrane (BA-S 85 by OPTITRAN) and stained with 0.1% Ponceau S (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) in 5% glacial acetic acid to visualize the transferred bands. The membranes were then cut into five sections for each of the Mabs. The membranes were blocked in 5% skim milk and 0.01% Tween20 in PBS, and then incubated overnight in the presence of 1 μg/ml of each Mab in PBS and 0.01% Tween20. The membranes were then incubated in the presence of a 1:20000 dilution of goat anti-mouse IgG conjugated with HRP (horse radish peroxidase) added to 3% skim milk and 0.01% Tween20 in PBS. To develop the Western Blot Marker (Magic Mark XP Western Standard by Invitrogen) the 1 μl of Precision Protein StrepTactin-HRP conjugated (Bio-Rad Life Sciences, Hercules, CA) was added to each of 10 ml of secondary antibody solution. The membranes were incubated in Pierce ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL) and then Kodak X-OMAT LS film was exposed to visualize the HRP luminescence.

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.
