A detailed description of protein extraction and Western blotting procedures can be found in our previous report [5 (link)].
In brief, muscle samples were loaded and separated on a 10% polyacrylamide gel, followed by transfer to a nitrocellulose membrane (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Sanford, ME, USA, #sc-3724), after which membranes were incubated in a blocking buffer (TBS-T: 4% non-fat milk powder; Tris-buffered saline, pH 7.4; and 0.1% Tween 20). The membranes were then incubated with primary and secondary antibodies and washed in TBS-T. The primary antibodies used were GAPDH (1:10,000, Applied Biological Materials Inc., Richmond, BC, Canada, # G041), Lamin B1 (1:500, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA, # ab16048), MEF2-D (1:1000, EMD Millipore, Temecula, CA, USA, # AB2263), acetyl-Histone H3 (1:1000, EMD Millipore, Temecula, CA, USA, # 06-599), total Histone H3 (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA, # 9715), HDAC4 (1:500, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA, #2072), HAT P300 (1:500, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA, # ab231010).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Histones were extracted following a published protocol through sulphuric acid extraction and TCA-precipitation [[43 (link)]]. One μg of each sample was used for western blot analysis with 15% SDS-PAGE gels and PVDF membranes (Merck Millipore, Berlin, Germany) according to the previously-described protocol. The detection of acetylated and non-acetylated histones was performed with primary antibodies against acetylated histone H3 (1:2,000, #39139, Active Motif, La Hulpe, Belgium), total histone H3 (1:1,000, #3638, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA), acetylated histone H4 (1:1,000, #39243, Active Motif, La Hulpe, Belgium) and total histone H4 (1:500, #39269, Active Motif, La Hulpe, Belgium).

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.
