Example 9

Cells were dissolved into the Laemmli sample buffer on the plate. The whole cell extracts were sonicated, and the proteins in the lysate were resolved using a 4-12% SDS polyacrylamide gel, and the resolved proteins were blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Antibodies specific to H2A.X, cleaved caspase-3, full-length caspase-3, or cleaved caspase-9 were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, Mass.). The anti-γH2A.X antibody was purchased from Millipore. The membrane was blocked with 5% nonfat dry milk and incubated individually with each of these antibodies dissolved in the blocking buffer. After incubation with peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies, the protein of interest was detected using an ECL kit purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, Mass.).

For DNA synthesis studies HeLa cells growing on coverslips in a 6-well plate were treated with relevant drugs (as described in the text) and 15 minutes before fixation 10 µM EdU (Berry & Associates, PY 7562) was added. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes at room temperature. Cells were washed three times with PBS, then permeabilised by treating twice for 10 minutes with PBS-TX (PBS/0.1% Triton X-100) at room temperature. Click reaction mix (0.1 mM 6-carboxyfluorescein TEG-Azide (Berry & Associates, FF 6110), 10 mM Sodium-L-Ascorbate and 2 mM Copper-II-Sulphate) was added to the cells for 30 minutes in the dark. Coverslips were washed three times for 5 minutes with 1% BSA 0.5% Tween in PBS at room temperature in the dark to remove excess copper and azide. Nuclei were stained with DAPI and coverslips were mounted using SlowFade Gold Antifade Reagent (Invitrogen, S36936).

Protein-conjugated membranes were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C and then incubated with HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse secondary antibody for 1 hour at room temperature. Western blot signals were visualized by chemiluminescence using SuperSignal West Pico chemiluminescence reagent (Pierce, Rockford, IL). Antibodies against AKT, phospho-AKT, Mre11, and FANCD2 were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX), whereas antibodies against Nbs1, phospho-Nbs1 (pNbs1), Rad50, Rad51, and β-actin were from Genetex (San Antonio, TX).

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.
