Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the Clathrin and AP2 immunoprecipitation (IP) assays, protein samples were added to Dynabeads-Protein G (30 μg/100 μL) according to the manufacturer protocol (Invitrogen, DK).
The following were used for both WB and IP analysis: rabbit monoclonal (Y188) antibody to APP (ab32136, Abcam, UK), mouse anti-alpha adaptin antibody (AP6) specific against AP2 (MA1-064, Thermo Fisher, DK), mouse anti-Clathrin heavy chain antibody (clone X22) (MA1-065, Thermo Fisher, DK). Rabbit, anti-AP1+2 antibody (ab21981) were provided by Abcam.
APP pTyr residues were immunoprecipitated using anti-pTyr antibody clone 4G10® agarose conjugate (clone 16-10, Millipore) and analyzed with rabbit anti-APP (clone Y188) following the same procedures previously reported (Matrone et al., 2011 (link)). Rabbit anti-pan Fyn (#4023) and anti-Src pTyr416 (#2101) and anti-Src pTyr527 (#2105) were provided by Cell Signaling Technology (BioNordika, DK).

Quantifying Pulmonary Inflammation via H&E and IHC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To estimate the degree of inflammation, the lung tissues fixed with paraformaldehyde (4% v/v) were stained with H&E (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) after going through a series of procedures. The degree of inflammation was quantified using an image analyser (IMT i-Solution, Vancouver, BC, Canada). The IHC examinations were performed as previously described [20 (link)]. The anti-AP-1 (ab21981; 1:200; Abcam) and anti-TXNIP (NBP1-54578; 1:200; Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA) were used as primary antibodies.

Double-immunofluorescence was performed as previously described [23 (link)], using anti-AP-1 (ab21981; 1:200; Abcam) and anti-TXNIP (NBP1-54578; 1:200; Novus Biologicals) antibodies, and imaging was completed using a Leica TCS SP5 AOBS laser scanning confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems, Hesse, Germany) under a Leica 63× (N.A. 1.4) oil objective.

Protein Isolation and Analysis in Lung Tissue

Total proteins were isolated from right lung tissue (50 µg) and cells (5×106) using RIPA buffer (#89900; Thermo Scientific, Worcester, MA, USA) containing a protease inhibitor cocktail (#P2714; Sigma) and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (#04906845001; Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN, USA). Homogenates were centrifuged at 2,834 g at 4 °C for 20 min before the supernatant was collected. The total protein concentrations were determined by bicinchoninic acid assay (#23227, PierceTM Biotechnology, Rockford, IL, USA). Standard SDS-PAGE technique (27 (link)) was performed on equal amounts of proteins, with antibodies of p-STAT5 (ab32364; 1:500), RORγt (ab135669; 1:500), FOXP3 (ab215206; 1:500), JNK (ab112501; 1:500), p-JNK (ab4821; 1:500), arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (Alox5; ab169755; 1:500), activator protein 1 (AP-1, ab21981; 1:500), and GAPDH (ab181602; 1:500) obtained from Abcam. The band intensity was measured by ImageJ2× 2.1.4.7 (Wayne Rasband, National Institutes of Health, USA).

Western Blot Analysis of Signaling Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cells were lysed with radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer at 4°C, and then separated by high speed centrifugation (14,000 rpm) at 4°C for 10 min. Next, the supernatant was quantified using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Shanghai Biotech Biotechnology Research Institute). The protein sample was then loaded onto 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at 70 V for 30 min then 120 V for 90 min and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Millipore, Boston, MA, USA) at 300 mA for 2 h. After blocking with 5% skim milk, the blot was probed with a primary antibody. After washing with phosphate buffered saline, the horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G secondary antibodies (ab150077, 1:1,000, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) were added. The primary antibodies used in this study include rabbit anti-MAP2K3 antibody (ab195037, 1:500, Abcam), rabbit anti-AP-1 antibody (ab21981, 1:200, Abcam), and rabbit anti-p38 antibody (ab31828, 1:300, Abcam). We then uniformly add the chemiluminescence reagent to the membrane and develop with the developer. The expression level of the protein was analyzed by chemiluminescence and quantified by Image J software (Version 1. 46; National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). We used GAPDH as an endogenous control to normalize protein expression.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation and Quantification

HMCs were cultured to 70-80% con uency, and xed for 10 minutes by 4% paraformaldehyde to make the DNA and protein xed and cross-linked. After cross-linking, they were randomly fragmented into pieces of appropriate sizes using a sonicator, and centrifuged at 13000 rpm at 4°C for 5 minutes to collect supernatant. The supernatant was divided into two parts and incubated overnight at 4°C with rabbit anti-IgG (ab109489, 1:100, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and target protein speci c antibodies Ap1 (1:1000, ab21981, Abcam), TET1 (1:2000, ab220867, Abcam). The endogenous DNA protein complex was precipitated by protein agarose/Sepharose, and the nonspeci c complex was washed. The DNA was decrosslinked overnight at 65°C and puri ed by phenol/chloroform. The enrichment of Ap1 in TET1 promoter and the enrichment of TET1 in Nrf2 promoter were examined.
Statistical analysis SPSS 22.0 statistical software (IBM Corp. Armonk, NY, USA) was used to process the data. All experiments were repeated 3 times independently. All the data were presented as mean ± standard deviation. The comparisons between two groups were done by the unpaired t test and the comparisons among multiple groups were conducted by the one-way or two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey's multiple comparison test. A probability value of P < 0.05 indicated the difference was statistically signi cant.

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.
