The total protein was extracted using a radioimmunoprecipitation assay, and the bicinchoninic acid (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) method was employed to quantify the concentration. The protein sample was first electrophoresed for 2h; subsequently, the authors transferred the total protein onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). TBST containing 5% skim milk was used to block non-specific antigens for 1h following incubating with primary antibodies (caspase-3 [1:1,000, ab32351; Abcam], c-caspase-3 [1:1,000, ab32042; Abcam], CREB1 [1:1,000, ab32515; Abcam], p-CREB1 [1:1,000, ab32096; Abcam], Bcl-2 [1:1,000, ab182858; Abcam], PSD-95 [1:1,000, ab238135; Abcam], synaptophysin [1:1,000, ab32127; Abcam], synapsin [1:1,000, ab254349; Abcam], GAPDH [1:1,000, ab8245; Abcam], and β-actin [1:5,000, #A5441, Sigma]) at 4°C overnight. Membranes were washed with TBST three times and incubated with the secondary HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:5,000 dilution; cat. ab205719; Abcam).

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.
