Isolation and Analysis of Rat Brain Synaptic Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Brains from adult Sprague Dawley rats were supplied by Rockland Immunochemicals Inc. (Gilbertsville, PA). Animals were subjected to 1 min CO2 prior to decapitation. Brains were collected within two minutes of decapitation and were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. Brains were rapidly thawed in isotonic sucrose solution and dissected to remove white matter.
Cerebral cortices were homogenized in isotonic sucrose. Synaptosome and PSD fractions were prepared essentially as described previously [21 (link)]. Proteins in homogenate, synaptosome, and PSD fractions were resolved by SDS-PAGE using 4–15% Mini-PROTEAN TGX Precast polyacrylamide gels (BioRad). Gels were transferred to PVDF membranes using the Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System (BioRad), blocked, incubated with primary and secondary antibodies, and visualized via chemiluminescence (BioRad).

The cells were lysed in RIPA Lysis Buffer containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail and the phosphatase inhibitor PhosSTOP (both from Roche Applied Science, Basel, Switzerland). The protein concentration of the whole cell lysate was determined by the BCA assay (Beyotime Biotechnology, Haimen, Jiangsu, China). Proteins from the cell lysates were loaded onto 4–15% Mini-PROTEAN TGX precast polyacrylamide gels (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). Then, the proteins were transferred onto PVDF membranes (Bio-Rad Laboratories). After blocking, the membranes were sequentially incubated with the indicated primary and secondary antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology). The protein bands were visualized using an Immun-Star WesternC Chemiluminescence Kit (170–5070, Bio-Rad Laboratories) using a chemiluminescence imaging method. The band intensities were quantified using Quantity One. β-Actin or GAPDH severed as the loading control. LC3 Control Cell Extracts (#11972) and p70 S6 Kinase Control Cell Extracts (#9203) (Cell Signaling Technology) were used to identify the sensitivity of antibodies, including anti-LC3, anti-phosphorylated mTOR and anti-substrates of mTOR (Fig. S1a,b).

H-3524) 1:250; (iii) Phospho-p38 MAP Kinase (Thr180/Tyr182) (Cell Signalling, 9211) 1:250; (iv) Manganese superoxide dismutase (Enzo Life Sciences, ADI-SOD-110) 1:500. Membranes were washed three times with PBS-Tween 20 prior to incubation with a fluorescein-labelled secondary antimouse and/or -rabbit antibody (LI-COR Biosciences). Protein levels (Hsp70, Hsp60, MnSOD, P-p38 Mapk) were normalised using a-tubulin as internal control. Results were reported in arbitrary units ± SE obtained from the volumetric analysis of the normalised bands (sum of the two independent experiments).

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.
