Measuring Epithelial Cadherin Levels in Mouse Lungs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein level of epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin, 120/80 kDa), an intercellular adherens junction protein in epithelial barrier, was determined. Total lung proteins were isolated from individual mouse lung homogenate in radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (n = 4/group) and equal amounts of the lung proteins from two mice were pooled. Aliquots of pooled proteins (70-150 μg) were separated on Tri-HCl SDS-PAGE genes (7.5% or 10-20%, Bio-Rad) and analyzed by routine Western blotting using specific antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) against E-cadherin (sc-59778, 1:200 dilution) and pan-actin (sc-1616, 1:500 dilution). Blot images were scanned using the FluorChem HD2 System (ProteinSimple, San Jose, CA) and quantified by densitometry using Image J Gel analysis software (https://imagej.nih.gov).

Notch 1, the target gene of miR-146, was detected by western blot analysis following overexpression of miR-146 and shRNA. Cells were lysed using M-PER Protein Extraction Reagent (Pierce) supplemented with a protease inhibitor cocktail (PMSF). Protein concentrations of the extracts were measured using the BCA assays (Pierce) and equalized with extraction reagent. Equal amounts of extracts were loaded and subjected to SDS/PAGE, followed by transfer onto nitrocellulose membranes. Specific antibodies and horseradish peroxidase-coupled secondary antibodies were purchased from Santa Cruz. Membranes were probed using ultra-ECL western blotting detection reagents. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as an internal control.

The protein expression levels of 2 genes, c-Fos, and NFATc1, were assessed via Western blot analysis [29 (link)]. RAW264.7 cells were grown on Ti and zirconia disks for one, two, and three days after treatment of RANKL. After washing with PBS, total cell lysates were harvested by lysing the cells with chilled radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (10 mM Tris pH 7.2, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 1 mM NaF, 2.5 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 1 μg/mL leupeptin, 1 µg/mL aprotinin, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS and 1% deoxycholate). Total cell lysates were incubated for 20 min and centrifuged at 14,000× g for 15 min at 4 °C. Harvested proteins were separated by 8% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Whatman GmbH, Dassel, Germany). The membrane was probed with specific antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany) with a concentration of 2 μg/mL and the reactivity of the immune complexes were detected by using enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL, GE Healthcare, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, UK) reagents.

Cells were detached using trypsin-EDTA and then washed and centrifuged. The cell pellets were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. Tumor sections were prepared, and immunohistochemical studies were carried out for the mesothelial markers calretinin, WT1, CK5/6, and mesothelin and BAP1 using specific antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, TX). All immunostaining was carried out using an automated Ventana system (Ventana Medical Systems, AZ) using their UltraView polymer based detection system. IHC staining was scored semiquantitatively as follows: negative (less than 5% of cells stained), 1+ positive (5- 50%), and 2+ positive (50-100%).

Western Blot Analysis of CCA-Adding Enzyme

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For western blot analysis total cell lysates or fractions obtained during affinity purification were separated in 10% SDS-PAGE gels.
To investigate the levels of CCA-adding enzyme (CAE) during exponential growth or upon stress cells were pelleted, washed with 1× PBS and cell pellets directly resuspended in Laemmli buffer. The corresponding volume to 2 × 106 cells was run per lane. For analysis of affinity purifications fractions the corresponding to 2–3 × 106 cells of input lysates and flow-through fractions and 2 × 107 cells of final beads were run per lane. Gels were transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Amersham Biosciences) and blocked for 1 h in 1× PBS/0.1% Tween-20 containing 5% nonfat milk. The membranes were incubated with mouse anti–HA antibody (1:5000, Covane) at 4°C overnight, washed (3 × 10 min each with 1× PBS/0.1% Tween-20) and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies were added (1:3000; Roche). The membranes were washed as before and results were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence SuperSignal West Femto Maximum Sensitivity Substrate (ThermoFisher Scientific). As loading control EF1A was detected as before using specific antibodies (1:10 000, Santa Cruz).

Example 11

Melanocytes (B16F10 cell line) were incubated on 6-well culture plates for 24 hours, and were treated with the peptides of the present invention with different concentrations. After 72-hour incubation, the cells were lysed, and the cells were subjected to western blotting using specific antibodies (two types, both from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA) to investigate the expression of MITF and tyrosinase, which are factors involved in melanogenesis. The results are shown in FIG. 11.

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.
