Western Blot Analysis of MIF Protein

Protein lysates were prepared with ice-cold RIPA buffer (Boston Bio Products) supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Roche). Protein lysates were separated using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (pre-cast gels, Thermo Fisher) and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. After blocking the membrane with 5% milk in PBST (PBS with 0.1% Tween20, Sigma), the membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with anti-MIF (Cell Signaling) and anti-Beta Actin (Bethyl) antibodies, diluted in PBST with 5% BSA. The blots were washed 3 times and then incubated with secondary antibodies (anti-Rabbit HRP, Thermo Fisher), diluted in PBST with 5% milk. Finally, the membranes were incubated with ECL substrate (Pierce) for 1 min and exposed for signal detection with the iBright Imager (Thermo Fisher).

Culture media, saline buffers and plastic material were obtained from EuroClone (Milan, Italy). Anti-P-mTOR, anti-mTOR, anti-P-ERK, anti-ERK, and anti-MIF antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (EuroClone). Anti PC1 7E12, anti-β-actin and anti-NFkB antibodies were bought from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Milan, Italy). Anti-CD3 (OKT3) monoclonal antibody was purchased from Invitrogen (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Milan, Italy). The anti-PC2 N-ter antibody was kindly provided by Prof. Stefan Somlo (Yale University, CT, USA). Enhanced chemiluminescent substrates for Western blotting, HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit and anti-mouse antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (EuroClone). Lympholyte®-H and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) were obtained from Cedarlane Laboratories (Tebu-Bio, Milan, Italy) and EuroClone, respectively. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and Fura 2-AM were purchased from Invitrogen. Platelet-activating factor (PAF), ATP and ionomycin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Milan, Italy). The recombinant plasmid for PKD2 silencing (TRPP2-siRNA) was constructed in our laboratory by using the pSuper vector (Oligoengine, Seattle, WA) as previously described [12 (link)].

Immunofluorescence Analysis of Cellular Morphology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To confirm morphological changes, cells were washed thrice with PBS, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 10 min at room temperature, and permeabilized with PBS containing 0.25% Triton X-100 (PBST) for 10–15 min at room temperature. After three washes with PBS, cells were blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin for 30 min. Samples were incubated overnight at 4°C with the relevant antibodies anti-MIF (1:500; Cell Signaling Technology) and anti-F actin (1:500; Santa-Cruz Biotechnology Inc.) for 2 h at room temperature. After three washes with PBS, immune-labeled cells were counterstained with 50 µl of DAPI at 37°C for 10 min. Cells were analyzed using a laser scanning confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems).

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.
