Media from the apical compartment were collected and electrophoresed on SDS-polyacrylamide gels and electroblotted onto Immobilon-P PVDF membranes. Membranes were blocked in Tris buffer (pH = 7.4) containing 5% powdered milk for one hour, washed, and incubated with primary MMP-9 antibody (MAB 911; R/D Systems) overnight at 4 °C. After incubation, samples were washed with borate saline (100 mM boric acid, 25 mM Na borate, 75 mM NaCl) and incubated with species-specific IgG horseradish peroxidase conjugates (at dilutions of 1:5000) for one hour. Immunoblots were then developed using ECL chemiluminescent kits (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ, USA). 50 ng of recombinant MMP-9 (R/D Systems; Catalog #WBC018) was used as positive control. As a loading control, 50 μg protein/ sample was loaded for each immunoblot lane.

Western Blot Analysis of MMP1 and MMP9

Protein samples were run on SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk for 1 h at room temperature, and then incubated with primary rabbit monoclonal anti-MMP1 (Ab134184, AbCam, Waltham, MA, USA) or mouse monoclonal anti-MMP9 (MAB911; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) antibody (1:1000) at 4 °C overnight. Membranes were then washed three times in TBS-Tween and incubated with HRP-conjugated anti-mouse (W4021; Cytiva, Marlborough, MA, USA) or anti-rabbit (NA934V, Cytiva, Marlborough, MA, USA) secondary antibody (1:5000–1:10,000) for 1 h at room temperature. Membranes were then washed three times and imaged on a FluorChemR Imager (ProteinSimple, Minneapolis, MN, USA) using Western Lightning™ ECL solution (PerkinElmer, Akron, OH, USA). Images were semi-quantified using ImageJ (NIH).

Analysis of MMP Expression and Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MMP expression was analyzed by immunoblot in conditioned medium of LX‐2 cells, generated by cultivating the cells in serum‐deprived medium for 48 h, followed by protein concentration using vivaspin centrifugal concentrator columns (MWCO 3,0 kD, Sartorius GmbH). Protein contents were analyzed according to Bradford using Rotiquant (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany). Either 20 or 40 μg of protein was loaded on 10% polyacrylamide gels and subsequently blotted on PVDF membranes. For the detection of specific proteins, the following antibodies were used: anti‐MMP‐2 (AF902, 2 μg·mL−1; R&D Systems); anti‐MMP‐9 (MAB‐911, 4 μg·mL−1, R&D); MMP‐7 (IMG‐3873; 0.5 μg·mL−1, IMGENEX); MT1‐MMP/MMP‐14 (D1E4, 1 : 1000, Epitomics); TIMP‐2 (MAB971, 1 : 500, R&D). Protein contents were visualized on a ChemiDoc MP system using the imagelab software for quantification (both from Bio‐Rad Laboratories GmbH, Munich, Germany). For the demonstration of equal loading, the membranes were subsequently stained with Ponceau S (Sigma‐Aldrich). MMP‐2 and ‐9 activity was determined using gelatine containing zymography gels (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Karlsbad, CA, USA) as previously described [41 (link)].

Quantifying Myocardial MMP-9 Expression

The cardiac infarct area was excised and lysed in RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, pH 8.0) supplemented with a protease inhibitor cocktail (Complete Mini, Roche) using a tissue homogenizer (TissueLyser LT, Qiagen). Aliquots (30 μg) of total protein were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. After blocking for 1 h in Trisbuffered saline containing 0.1% Tween 20 and 5% skim milk (Carl Roth), membranes were probed overnight at 4°C with primary antibody against MMP-9 (R&D, MAB911; 1/2000 dilution) or 60 min for GAPDH (Sigma-Aldrich, G954; 1/10000). Densitometric quantification of protein bands was performed using ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA) and MMP9 expression was normalized to GAPDH.

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.
