For protein expression studies, whole cell lysates were extracted using SDS lysis buffer and then supplemented with cOmplete protease inhibitor mixture (Roche Applied Science). Equal amounts of whole cell lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted with antibodies that recognized HIF-1α (BD Bioscience), OCT4 (BioLegend). Anti-GAPDH (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) and anti-Actin (Millipore) antibodies were used to assess equal protein loading. Immunoblots were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (ECL-Plus, Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) and were imaged with a Versadoc 3000 Imaging System (Bio-Rad). Densitometric data were obtained and quantified with Quantity One Software (Bio-Rad). Western analyses shown are representative of two to four independent experiments.

Cells were lysed with RIPA buffer (CST) containing protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails (KeyGEN) on ice. The supernatant was collected after centrifugation, and the concentration was determined by a BCA assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). A total of 30 μg of protein extract was separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‒PAGE) and transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. The membrane was blocked with 5% non-fat milk in TBST buffer [10 mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.4) containing 0.1% Tween 20] and was then incubated with a primary antibody at 4 °C overnight (Additional file 1: Table S3). After washing 3 times, the membrane was incubated with a secondary antibody (CST) at room temperature for 40 min, and immunoreactions were detected with a chemiluminescent substrate (Thermo). Images were acquired with a VersaDoc 3000 Imaging System (Bio-Rad), and densitometric analysis was performed with ImageJ (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD). The relative protein expression was calculated as a ratio of the density of each protein band relative to the loading control GAPDH and was normalized to unstimulated controls.

Twenty percent (w/vol) tissue homogenates were prepared in 0.25 M sucrose in PBS using a Ribolyzer (Bio-Rad). Total protein concentration was measured with the BCA Protein Assay (Pierce), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For the detection of partially PK-resistant PrP, proteins were digested with PK (Roche) at a final concentration of 25 µg/ml. Protein homogenates in NuPAGE LDS sample buffer (Invitrogen) containing β-mercaptoethanol as reducing agent were separated on a NuPAGE 12% Bis-Tris (Invitrogen) using the NuPAGE Gel Electrophoresis System (Invitrogen) and transferred onto a Protran Nitrocellulose Transfer Membrane (Whatman) using the Wet/Tank Blotting System (Bio-Rad), according to the manufacturers’ instructions. Antibodies used were POM1 (200 ng ml–1 [32 (link)]) as primary and HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (1:17000 dilution, from Invitrogen) as secondary. Blots were developed using HRP substrate (ECL, Pierce) and visualized using the Versadoc 3000 imaging system (Bio-Rad).

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.
