Western Blot Analysis of Caudal Disc Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein from caudal discs of seven mice were extracted using Tissue Protein Extraction Reagent (T‐PER) with proteinase inhibitor cocktail per the manufacturer's instructions (Thermo Fisher 78510, Waltham, MA). Western blotting for the expression of p53, matrix metalloproteinase‐3 (MMP‐3), and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs‐4 (ADAMTS‐4) was also performed. Primary antibodies (1:1000 dilution) to p53 (Cell Signaling Technology 2524, Danvers, MA), MMP‐3 (Abcam ab52915, Cambridge, United Kingdom), ADAMTS‐4 (Abcam ab185722, Cambridge, United Kingdom), and β‐actin (Thermo Fisher PA1‐183, Waltham, MA) and secondary anti‐rabbit horse radish peroxidase antibody (1:5000 dilution, Thermo Fisher 31460, Waltham, MA) were used.
Following electrophoresis on Tris‐HEPES 4%‐20% gradient polyacrylamide denaturing gel (Thermo Scientific 25204, Waltham, MA), separated proteins were transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. Signals were measured using chemiluminescent detection (Thermo Scientific 34096, Waltham, MA) and ChemiDoc MP system (Bio‐Rad, Hercules, CA). The protein bands were analyzed using NIH Image J 1.44p with local background subtraction. The data obtained were normalized with β‐actin.

Western Blot Analysis of Raphe Nuclei Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protein expression levels of Iba-1, C1q, cleaved caspase 3, synaptophysin, PSD95, and β-actin in raphe nuclei homogenates were evaluated using Western blotting. The protein concentrations of the homogenates were equalized, and the samples were separated by 10% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. To minimize nonspecific binding, the membranes were blocked in 5% bovine serum albumin for 1 hour. The membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: Iba-1 (1:500; 061-20001, Wako Biologicals), C1q (1:50; ab71940, Abcam), cleaved caspase 3 (1:200; no. 9664S, Cell Signaling Technology), PSD95 (1:200; ab13552, Abcam), synaptophysin (1:500; ab8049, Abcam), or β-actin (1:2500; PA1-183, Thermo Fisher Scientific). After washing, the membranes were incubated with an HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse antibody (GeneTex Inc., Irvine, CA) for 1 hour. The Western blotting results were visualized with an enhanced chemiluminescence advanced kit. The intensity was analyzed by ImageJ version 1.46 (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Western Blot Analysis of NLRP3 Inflammasome Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protein expressions of NACHT, LRR, and PYD Domains-Containing Protein 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated Speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), pro-IL-1β and mature IL-1β, and β-actin in the hippocampal homogenates were evaluated using a western blotting method. The protein concentration of the homogenates was equalized, and the samples were separated by 10% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. To minimize the non-specific binding, the membrane was blocked in 5% bovine serum albumin for 1 h. The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies, such as NLRP3 (1:500, ab214185, Abcam), ASC (1:500, sc-271054, Santa Cruz), pro-IL-1β and mature IL-1β (1:1,000, ab9722, Abcam), or β-actin (1:2500, PA1-183, Thermo-Fisher Scientific), overnight at 4°C. After being washed, the membranes were incubated with an HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse antibody (GeneTex, Inc., Irvine, CA) for 1 h. The western blotting results were visualized with an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) advanced kit. The intensity was analyzed with ImageJ version 1.46 (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

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.
