Western blot was performed as described previously (21 (link)). LV tissue was homogenized in radioimmunoprecipitation buffer containing 1% protease inhibitor cocktail, and the concentration of the supernatant was measured by means of BCA. After the target proteins were loaded onto an SDS polyacrylamide gel, proteins were transferred from the gel to a PVDF membrane. Subsequently, the membranes were incubated overnight with Areg, mTOR (A2445, ABclonal), AKT (A18120, ABclonal), P-AKT (AP0655, ABclonal), or P-mTOR (AP0094, ABclonal) antibody after being blocked for 1 h. After washed in TBST, the membranes were incubated with HRP-linked secondary antibody for 60 min at room temperature. The protein bands were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence agent (ECL reagents) and analyzed.

Based on the method described in our laboratory [31 (link)], we used the western blot to detect mTOR, p-mTOR, S6, p-S6, Nrf2, and Keap1 protein expression levels. Briefly, the liver was prepared with the RIPA buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Then, the proteins (40 μg from each sample) were separated on 8% or 12% SDS–polyacrylamide gel, depending on the molecular weight of proteins. They were transferred to the PVDF membranes (Thermo Fisher Scientific), blocked with 8% (w/v) skimmed milk in the TBST buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl, 0.1% Tween 20, 150 mM sodium chloride, pH 7.5) for 1 h, washed thrice with the TBST buffer for 10 min each, and followed by the incubation with specific primary antibodies, such as rabbit anti-p-mTOR-S2448 (1 : 2000, AP0094; Abclonal, Wuhan, China), anti-mTOR (1 : 1000, A2445; Abclonal), anti-p-S6- S235/236 (1 : 1000, AP0538; Abclonal), anti-S6 (1 : 1000, A6058; Abclonal), anti-Nrf2 (1 : 1000, A0674; Abclonal), and anti-Keap1 (1 : 5000, A17061; Abclonal) for overnight at 4°C. They were then incubated with goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1 : 10000). Immunoreactive bands were visualized via the enhanced chemiluminescence (Cell Signaling Technology) and quantified via the densitometry using ImageJ software (version 1.42, NIH).

Proteins of lung tissues and RLE‐6TN cells were extracted with RIPA Lysis Buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). After quantification, the protein samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE, then blotted onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). The membranes were probed with the following primary antibodies LC3B (ab48394, 1 µg/ml, Abcam), Beclin-1 (ab207612, 1:2000, Abcam), p62 (ab109012, 1:10000, Abcam), E-cadherin (ab231303, 1 µg/ml, Abcam), N-cadherin (ab76011, 1:5000, Abcam), Vimentin (ab92547, 1:1000, Abcam), α-SMA (ab124964, 1:10000, Abcam), collagen I (ab270993, 1:1000, Abcam), Fibronectin 1 (ab45688, 1:1000, Abcam), p-PI3K (ab182651, 1:1000, Abcam), PI3K (ab191606, 1:1000, Abcam), p-Akt (ab38449, 1:500, Abcam), Akt (ab38449, 1:500, Abcam), p-mTOR (AP0094, 1:500, ABclonal), mTOR (A2445, 1:500, ABclonal), CDC27 (A3333, 1:1000, ABclonal), and GAPDH (ab8245, 1:2000, Abcam) at 4°C overnight, followed by incubation with secondary antibody (bs-0295 G-HRP, 1:1000, Bioss). ECL chemiluminescence (Beyotime) was applied for analysis.

Proteins were isolated from kidney tissue and MPC-5, and protein levels were assayed. Briefly, protein extracts were boiled in RIPA buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) and separated by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, transferred to NC membranes, closed, and then incubated overnight at 4°C with the primary antibodies nephrin (NPHS1 A3048; ABclonal, China), podocin (NPHS2 20384-1-AP; Proteintech, China), and synaptopodin (A8484; ABclonal, China) to detect their protein levels in kidney tissue and MPC-5. Beclin1 (A17028; ABclonal, China), p62 (A11250; ABclonal, China), LC3B (A19665; ABclonal, USA), Phospho-mTOR-S2448 (AP0094, ABclonal, China), mTOR (AF6308, Affinity, China), Phospho-ULK1-S757 (AP0736, ABclonal, China) and ULK1 (AF4687, Affinity, China) antibodies were assessed to detect their protein levels in MPC-5. GAPDH (AC002; Abclonal, China) or Tubulin (A17913; Abclonal, China) were used as reference proteins. The blots were then incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature and visualized using the Bio-Rad Gel Doc EZ imaging system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) and enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (Millipore, Boston, MA, USA). All western blot analyses were performed ≥3 times and protein bands were quantified using the ImageJ software (U.S. National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

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.
