Tween 20 buffer

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Tween-20 is a non-ionic detergent commonly used as a buffer in various laboratory applications. It is a polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate. Tween-20 is a versatile, water-soluble, and non-denaturing agent used to facilitate the solubilization and stabilization of proteins and other biomolecules in aqueous solutions.

Curcumin Modulates Signaling Pathways in Cells

For Western blot analysis, cells were seeded in a 6-well plate at a seeding density of 1 × 106 cells/well and treated with curcumin concentrations for 48 h. Cells treated with 0.1% DMSO were used as a negative control. Cells were lysed in ice-cold RIPA buffer supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails (Sigma-Aldrich, Gillingham, UK). All samples were separated by 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) nitrocellulose membrane (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). The membrane was blocked with 5% BSA in Tris-buffered saline supplemented with 0.1% Tween-20 buffer (Sigma-Aldrich, Gillingham, UK). Western blot analyses were performed using primary antibodies against p-NF-κB (#3033), p-P70S6K (#9204), cleaved caspase-3 (#9661), p-Akt (#4060) and β-actin (#3700) (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). The signals were detected using AmershamTM ECLTM Prime Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Amersham, UK). Protein bands were visualized by Molecular Imager ChemiDocTM XRS+ Imaging System (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and analyzed by Image Lab software (version 6.0) (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

PSA, monoclonal PSA capture antibody (c-Ab), and polyclonal PSA detection antibody (d-Ab) were ordered from SCIPAC Ltd. (Sittingbourne, UK). The triethylene glycol mono-11-mercaptoundecylether (thiol-PEG, #673110), phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer tablets, and Tween-20 buffer were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Co. (St Louis, MO, USA). The thiol-PEG7 acid (Thiol-COOH, #37156-0795) was purchased from Polypure AS (Oslo, Norway). 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide were purchased from TCI (Tokyo, Japan). Alexa Fluor 647 protein labeling kit (A-20173) was purchased from Invitrogen (Singapore) for labeling the d-Ab at a dye-to-protein ratio of ~4. Acetate buffer (10 mM, pH 5.0) was prepared by suitable mixing of sodium acetate and acetic acid that were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Co.

Quantification of Oxidative Phosphorylation Complexes

A 30-μg aliquot of whole-cell lysate was fractionated on a 12% SDS–polyacrylamide gel (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Richmond, CA, USA) and blotted onto a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Amersham Biosciences, Buckinghamshire, UK). Nonspecific binding was blocked with 5% skim milk in Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween 20 buffer (Sigma-Aldrich), and the membrane was incubated with a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies (1:800 dilution) purchased from Mitosciences (Eugene, OR, USA) for evaluation of oxidative phosphorylation complexes, including complex I (CI)-20 kDa subunit (NDUFB8), complex II (CII)-30 kDa subunit (SDHB), complex III-core 2 subunit (CIII)-48 kDa, complex IV-subunit I (CIV-I)-40 kDa, and complex V-subunit alpha (CV)-55 kDa. After incubation with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (1:50,000 dilution; Jackson ImmunoResearch), protein intensity was determined using an enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (Immobilon Western, Millipore). Bands were digitally scanned, and intensities were quantified using Gel-PRO Analyzer 3.0 software (Media Cybernetics, Rockville, MD, USA). Immunoreactivity of rabbit anti-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase antibodies (GADPH) (1:1000 dilution, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) was analyzed simultaneously as an internal control.

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.
