Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RAW 264.7 cells seeded at a density of 8 × 103 cells/well in 6-well plates were cultured with DMEM for 24 h at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. After 24 h, the medium was replaced with α-MEM containing 50 ng/mL RANKL and the sample extract. After 3 days, the cells were lysed with PRO-PREP buffer (iNtRON Biotechnology, Seongnam, Korea) to extract the expressed protein. Nuclear protein was extracted with NE-PER nuclear and cytoplasmic extraction reagents (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The concentration of the protein extract was determined using a protein assay with bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the standard. Proteins were resolved via SDS-PAGE and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. The membranes were blocked in 5% BSA and incubated overnight at 4°C with the primary antibodies specific for the targeted molecules. The membranes were then incubated with the corresponding secondary antibodies, and the targeted proteins in the membrane were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagents. The relative intensities of the bands were visualized and analyzed using the ChemiDoc XRS+ imaging system (BIO-RAD Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) equipped with Image Lab software.

Example 3

In order to determine the effect of CCL7 on CCR3 expression, HCT116 colorectal cancer cells were stably transfected with GFP (control) or CCL7. CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, CCR5, and CCL7 levels were determined by Western blot and FACS analyses.

For the Western blot, lysates from transfected HCT116 cells were obtained using Pro-prep buffer (Intron Biotechnology, Seoul, Korea), including protease inhibitors. 20-60 μg the protein extract was resolved by SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and probed with antibodies against CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, CCR5, CCL7, and β-actin, as a loading control. Secondary antibodies conjugated to horseradish peroxidase were used to image the membrane.

For the flow cytometry, HCT116 colorectal cancer cells were incubated with 200 ng/mL recombinant CCL7 for up to 12 hours. Following incubation, the cells were washed, blocked, and then stained with anti-human antibodies against CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, or CCR5 followed by staining with a PE-conjugated secondary antibody.

Overexpression of CCL7 in colorectal cancer cells significantly and dramatically increased protein expression of CCR3 compared with GFP controls (FIGS. 4A and 4B).

Healthy cartilage devoid of any damage in the femoral condyles and tibial plateau joint, and degenerative cartilage showing clear damage, was collected from the knee of an OA patient. Almost 50 mg of cartilage frozen in liquid nitrogen was pulverized using a mortar and pestle. Total protein was extracted using PRO-PREP buffer (iNtRON Biotechnology, Seongnam-Si, Korea), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Total RNA was extracted using the TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen Life Technologies Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA).

SH-SY5Y cells or brain tissues (n = 7 per group) were lysed in PRO-PREP™ buffer (iNtRON Biotechnology, Seongnam, Korea) to obtain proteins. The protein amount from each sample was calculated using the Bio-Rad Bradford kit (Bio-Rad). An equal amount (30 μg) of protein was loaded and separated using 10–12% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Millipore Corp., MA, USA). Blocking was performed with 5% skimmed milk for 2 h, and the blots were incubated for 1 d with primary antibodies against Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved-caspase-3, BDNF, CREB, pCREB, ERK, pERK, AKT, pAKT, GSK3β, pGSK3β, and GAPDH (dilution 1 : 1000).

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.
