Frozen liver tissues were lysed in a RIPA buffer supplemented with cOmplete™ Mini Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Roche) and phosphatase inhibitors (PhosSTOP EASYpack; Roche). Extracted proteins (60 μg) were resolved in SDS polyacrylamide gels, and then transferred onto a PVDF membrane using semi-dry transfer (Immobilon-P; Millipore). The following primary antibodies were used: anti-FGF19 (MAB969, R&D Systems; ab154185, Abcam), anti-FGFR4 (8562, Cell Signalling), anti-CYP7A1 (sc-25536, Santa Cruz), anti-CYP3A4 (sc-53850, Santa Cruz), anti-SHP (sc-15283, Santa Cruz), anti-FXR (sc-1204, Santa Cruz), anti-CAR (PP-N4111-00, R&D), and anti-OSTβ (sc-163192, Santa Cruz). Protein loading was normalized to GAPDH (sc-25778 + HRP; Santa Cruz), β-actin (sc-47778, Santa Cruz), and α/β-tubulin (#2148, Cell Signaling). The bands were visualized using the SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Detection System (Thermo Scientific). Image and densitometry analyses were performed using MicroChemi Imaging Systems and GelQuant software (DNR Bio-Imaging, Israel).

Western Blot Analysis of TGR5, FXR, EGFR and ERK1/2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MKN45 and MKN74 cells were lysed and proteins (50 μg) were separated by 10% SDS- polyacrylamide gels, followed by electro-transfer onto a nitrocellulose membrane. For EGFR and Erk1/2 western blotting only MKN45 cells were lysed and proteins (50 μg) were separated by 8% and 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gels respectively, followed by electro-transfer onto a nitrocellulose membrane. The membranes were sequentially incubated with blocking buffer (TBS-Tween containing 5% nonfat dry milk or 5% BSA respectively) for 1 hour at room temperature, and then overnight at 4°C with one of the following antibodies: anti-TGR5 (1:2000, #ab72608 Abcam), anti-FXR (1:2000 #sc-13063 Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-EGFR (1:1000, #2232 Cell Signaling), and anti-phospho-EGFR antibody (1:1000, #4407 Cell Signaling), anti-Erk1/2 (P44/42 MAPK) (1:1000, #46955 Cell Signaling), anti-phospho-Erk1/2 (p-P44/42 MAPK) (1:1000, #91015 Cell Signaling). Primary antibody were detected with the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled secondary antibodies (1:10000, BioRad) for 1 hour at room temperature. After washing with TBST, protein bands were visualized by Lite Ablot TURBO (Euroclone) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

GES-1 cells were transiently transfected with a miR-1 promoter vector. Then, ChIP analysis was performed according to the standard method of the Magna ChIP G Assay kit (#16–662, Millipore, USA). Chromatin was immunoprecipitated with anti-FXR (#SC-25309, Santa Cruz, USA), anti-SNAI2 (#9585, CST, USA) or a negative control IgG. Finally, immunoprecipitated DNA-protein complexes were isolated and a real-time PCR assay was carried out. The primers for the SNAI2 and miR-1 promoters are listed in Table 1.

Cells were extracted in RIPA buffer, and immunoprecipitation with specific antibodies was performed using protein A agarose. The pellets were washed 3 times. Immunoblotting was then performed with diluted antibodies overnight at 4°C or for 2 h at room temperature using a standard procedure [16 (link),17 ]. The primary antibodies included: anti-FXR (#sc-25309, 1: 750, Santa Cruz), anti-CREB (#9192, 1: 1000, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-proBDNF (#sc-65514, 1: 750, Santa Cruz), anti-Bax (#ab182733, 1: 500, Abcam), anti-Bcl-2 (#ab32124, 1: 500, Abcam), and anti-β-actin (#A1978, 1: 1000, Sigma-Aldrich). To confirm reproducibility, experiments were performed at least 3 times. Band intensity quantification was carried out using Image J software.

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.
