After treatment, protein was isolated by resuspending cells in M-PER® Mammalian Protein Extraction Reagent (Thermo Scientific) and NE-PER lysate (Thermo Scientific) for immunoprecipitation with protease & phosphatase inhibitor cocktails (Thermo Scientific), incubated for 10 min at 4 °C, and centrifuged at 16,000 × g for 10 min to remove cell debris. Extracts were loaded onto 10% polyacrylamide gels and transferred to Hybond-ECL membranes (Amersham, Pollards Wood, UK). Membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk in phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.05% Tween 20 (PBST). The membranes were then incubated with specific primary antibodies diluted with PBST at 4 °C with gentle shaking overnight: p65, ATF3, topoisomerase II-α, IκBζ, α-tubulin and β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology); ac-p65 (Abcam) and HDAC1 (Millipore). After several washings, the membranes were incubated with anti-mouse or anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G peroxidase-conjugated antibody (Thermo Scientific) diluted in PBST (1:1,000) for 2 h. After the membranes were washed several times with PBST, detection was carried out using Pierce ECL Western blotting substrate (Thermo Scientific) and exposure of the blots to a LAS-1000 system (Fuji, Tokyo, Japan). The intensities of protein bands were measured using the ImageJ software (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/)39 (link).

To investigate the cytokine profile in BMMs, they were cultured with 1 μg/ml of TgPLP for 24 hours in 6-well plates until 90% confluency. The supernatant of the cultured BMMs was collected and stored at −80°C until use. For the cytokine array, samples were analyzed using RayBio® Mouse Antibody Array-3 (RayBiotech Incorporation, Norcross, GA). The assay was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, the array membranes were incubated with blocking buffer for 12 hours at room temperature. After washing, the membranes were incubated with biotin-conjugated antibody for 12 hours at 4°C, and then incubated with HRP-conjugated streptavidin for 12 hours. The membranes were incubated with detection buffer and exposed by LAS 1000 System (Fuji, Japan). Finally, the scanned image was analyzed by the Multi-Gauge System (Fuji, Japan), and the signal intensity was calculated using ImageJ (NIH). After the normalization process (comparison between normal and positive control), data were represented as the relative expression of cytokines and chemokines [30 (link)].

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.
