Mitochondrial pellets were solubilized with digitonin at 4:1 g protein and fractionated in blue native (BN) gels [28 (link)]. A total of 30 μg of mitochondrial proteins were fractionated in NativePAGE 3–12% Bis-Tris Protein Gels, 1.0 mm, 10-well (Invitrogen) at 4°C using cathode (50 mM Tricine, 15 mM Bis-Tris, pH 7.0 and 0.02% Serva blue G) and anode buffers (50 mM Bis-Tris, pH 7.0). Electrophoresis was carried out at a constant voltage (70 V) until the samples entered the polyacrylamide gradient (approximately 30 minutes) and then at a constant current (15 mA) until the dye reached the end of the gel (approximately 1 hour). After fractionation, the gels were electroblotted onto PVDF membranes and processed for immunoblot analysis as described above. The following primary antibodies were used: mouse anti-NADHs9 (NDUFA9, clone 15/22-5 [89 (link)], 1:1,000), mouse anti-NDUFS3 (clone 17D95, Abcam, ab14711, 1:1,000), mouse anti-NDUFS4 (clone 2C7CD4AG3, Abcam, ab87399, 1:1,000), mouse anti-SDH-A (clone 2E3GC12FB2AE2, Abcam, ab14715, 1:1,000), mouse anti-UQCRC2 (clone 13G12AF12BB11, Abcam, ab14745, 1:1,000), mouse anti-MT-CO1 (clone 1D6E1A8, Invitrogen, #459600, 1:1,000), mouse anti-MT-CO3 (clone DA5BC4, Abcam, ab110259, 1:1,000), mouse anti-COX IV (clone 20E8C12, Abcam, ab14744, 1:1,000), and rabbit anti-β-F1 [93 (link)] (1:20,000).

Differentiated stromal vascular preadipocytes were fixed in 1% paraformaldehyde and stained for the mitochondrial inner membrane protein cytochrome C oxidase subunit 4 (COX4) (ab14744, Abcam) and autophagosome marker LC3 (PM036, MBL International). Confocal images were captured at ×60 magnification, and Mander’s coefficient for colocalization (the portion of COX4 that was also positive for LC3) was calculated for at least 35 cells per group taken from at least 10 different fields and 2 different slides.

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.
