Samples were prepared in M-Per Mammalian protein extraction reagent (ThermoScientific) according to manufacturer's instructions. For FACS-sorted somatic cells and oocytes, all cells obtained after each independent FACS experiment were processed separately. For embryonic gonads (13.5 dpc, 15.5 dpc, 18.5 dpc), for each independent experiment, 10–20 gonads were pooled to prepare the protein lysates. For postnatal ovaries, a pair of ovaries per animal was used to prepare each independent sample. Protein lysates were loaded onto 4%–15% SDS linear gradient gel (Bio-Rad). Standard blotting was performed using a nitrocellulose membrane with a semidry transfer machine at 16 V for 1 h (Bio-Rad). The membrane was blocked with 5% milk TBST solution for 30 min and then incubated with the primary antibody overnight at 4°C. The next day, three 10-min washes with TBST were performed. Incubation with secondary antibody (1:4000 anti-rabbit conjugated horseradish peroxidase; Life Technologies) diluted in 5% milk TBST solution was performed at room temperature for 1 h. Again, three 10-min washes with TBST were performed. Supersignal West Dura extended substrate (ThermoScientific) was used and chemiluminescent signals were detected using radiograph film. Antibodies used for immunoblot analyses are listed separately. Densitometry analysis was performed using ImageJ software where applicable.

When NCI-H838 cells became confluent in 10 cm dishes, they were treated with SIT media for 3 h. Inhibitors were added 30 min prior to the experiment. NTS ligands (100 nM) were added to the plates and after 2 min, the plates were rinsed twice with PBS and treated with 0.5 ml of lysis buffer (TBS containing 1% Triton, 1% Deoxycholate, 1 mM EDTA, 0.4 mM EGFR and 0.1% sodium azide (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). The lysate was sonicated for 5 sec at 4°C and the samples centrifuged at 10,000 x g for 5 min. The protein concentration was determined using the BCA reagent (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL). Routinely 40 μg of protein extract was loaded onto a 15 well 4–20% polyacrylamide gel (Invitrogen, Frederick, MD). After transfer to nitrocellulose (Biorad, Hercules, CA), the blot was probed with anti EGFR, anti-PY1068 EGFR, anti-HER2, anti PY1248HER2, anti-ERK, anti PY204ERK or anti-tubulin (Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA). The blots were rinsed twice with TBS containing 5% non-fat dry milk (LabScientific, Highlands, NJ), twice with TBS and treated with anti-rabbit IgG HRP-linked Ab (Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA) for 60 min. After drying the blot, it was treated with SuperSignal West Dura extended substrate (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) for 4 min. The blot was dried and analyzed on a Syngene G-box Chemi XXG densitometer (Image Technologies, Alexandria, VA).

First, 48 h after transfection, supernatants of HEK293 cultured cells were collected and cells were lysed to determine secreted and intracellular PCSK9 levels by Western blot. Proteins from cell lysates or the supernatants were resolved by 8.5% Tris-Glycine SDS-PAGE, and gels were blotted onto nitrocellulose membranes (Protran BA 83, Whatman™, GE Healthcare, Munich, Germany), blocked for 1 h in TBS-T (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween 20) containing 5% BSA, and immunoblotted with a mouse-anti-FLAG antibody (DYKDDDK tag rat monoclonal antibody, L5 clone; 1:1000 dilution) (Cat. No: MAI-142; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 16 h at 4 °C. Detection was performed using a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rat antibody (Cat.No: 7077; Cell Signaling Technology® Inc., Danvers, MA, USA). Proteins were visualized using SuperSignal West Dura Extended Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Pierce, Carlsbad, CA, USA) on a ChemiDoc XRS apparatus (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Protein quantification was determined relative to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH, 1:1000 dilution) (Cat. No.: sc-26778, Santa Cruz Biotech.

10 µl of citrate plasma was added to increasing concentration of DNA (6.25, 12.5, 25, and 50 µg/ml) resuspended in 10 mM Tris, pH 7.4 (total volume of 20 µl). Following an hour pre-incubation at 37 °C, 2.5 mM CaCl2 was added to samples and further incubated for 1 hour at 37 °C. After incubation, samples were boiled for 15 min with sample buffer and were analyzed by SDS-PAGE using Novex 10–20% Tris Tricine precast gels. Post electrophoresis, the gel was transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% milk for an hour before western blotting. For detection of C-terminal thrombin fragments, overnight incubation of the blots was performed with polyclonal antibodies recognizing the thrombin C-terminal peptide VFR17 (VFRLKKWIQKVIDQFGE) in 1:5,000 dilution at 4 °C. Post washing thrice (3 x 10 mins) with PBS-T the blot was incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (Dako) at 1:10,000 dilutions in 5% milk for an hour. After repeating the wash thrice, the membranes were developed using the SuperSignal West Dura Extended Substrate (ThermoFisher Scientific, USA) for 5 min and thereafter imaged using a gel documentation system (Gel Doc XR + System).

PCSK9 expression and secretion analysis in HEK293 cells transfected with empty plasmid and the different PCSK9 variants was performed by Western blotting. For that purpose, proteins from cell lysates or the supernatants were resolved by 8.5% Tris-Glycine SDS-PAGE. Gels were next blotted onto Nitrocellulose membranes (Protran BA 83, Whatman™, GE Healthcare, Munich, Germany), blocked for 1 h in TBS (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween 20) containing 5% BSA and immunoblotted with a rat monoclonal anti-FLAG antibody (1:1000) (Cat. No:MA1–142; Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Pierce, CA, USA) for 16 h at 4 °C. Then, they were counterstained with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rat antibody (Cat. No: 7077S; Cell Signalling Technology® Inc., Danvers, MA, USA). The signal was created by adding SuperSignal West Dura Extended Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Pierce, CA, USA) and it was measured by the ChemiDoc XRS chemiluminescence system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) at 425 nm. The relativisation was performed using Glyceraldehide 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as control.

Cell lysates were prepared, protein concentration determined, and fractionated by electrophoresis on non-reducing 8.5% SDS-PAGE for semi-quantitative immunoblotting. Membranes were immunostained with rabbit polyclonal anti-LDLR antibody (1∶2000) (Cayman Chemical, Cat. No. 10007665) for 16 h at 4°C and rabbit polyclonal IgG anti-GAPDH antibody (1∶1000) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Cat. No. SC-25778) for 1 h at room temperature and counterstained with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody (Cell Signalling, Cat. No: 7074s). The signals were developed using SuperSignal West Dura Extended Substrate (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL, USA). ChemiDoc XRS (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) was used to detect the signals, and Quantity One Basic 4.4.0 software (Bio-Rad) was used to quantify band intensities. The concentrations of the antibodies were optimized to achieve low background and a linear dose-dependent increase in signal intensity. The relative band intensities for the mature and precursor forms of LDLR protein expressed for the different constructs was calculated as the ratio between the LDLR 160 kDa or 130 kDa bands to that of GAPDH.

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.
