Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After treatment with fludioxonil in 10−7 M–10−5 M cells, proteins from the Jurkat T cells and Ramos B cells were extracted by radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% deoxycholic acid, and 0.1% SDS). The protein concentrations were determined by a solution of bicinchoninic acid (BCA; Sigma-Aldrich Corp.) which was mixed with copper II sulfate solution (Sigma-Aldrich Corp.) at a ratio of 50:1. The total cell proteins (30 µg) were separated in a 15% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (BioRad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). The membrane was immersed in primary antibodies in tris-buffered saline (TBS) containing 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA; RMBIO Corp., Missoula, MT, USA), as shown in Table 1, and incubated overnight at 4 °C. The membrane was incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody (goat anti-mouse IgG or goat anti-rabbit IgG; BioRad Laboratories) for 2 h. proteins were detected by LuminoGraph II (ATTO, Tokyo, Japan) using EZwestLumi plus (ATTO).

OCR was assessed using a Seahorse XF96 flux analyzer (Seahorse Bioscience). KG1 (75 × 103 cells/well) and TEX (1 × 105 cells/well) cells were cultured in a 96-well XF96 culture plate (Seahorse Bioscience) coated with BD Cell-Tak (BD Biosciences) in their regular growth medium for 24 h with or without R406. An hour prior to the analysis, cells were washed with PBS and resuspended in XF base medium (pH 7.4) (Agilent Technologies) supplemented with glucose (5 mM), L-glutamine (1.6 mM), and pyruvate (1 mM). Plates were incubated for 1 h at 37 °C in a CO2-free incubator and transferred to the XF96 analyzer. OCR was measured at baseline and after the injection of oligomycin (1 µg/ml), FCCP (1.5 µM for TEX and 1.25 µM for KG1), rotenone/antimycin A (1 µM). After measurements, cells were washed with PBS, lysed in 10 μL of 0.1% Triton/PBS solution and frozen at −80 °C overnight. Thereafter, the protein concentration in each well was measured using BCA (Copper(II) sulfate solution and Bicinchoninic Acid solution, Sigma-Aldrich). Data were normalized to protein concentration and analyzed using Wave 2.0 software (Agilent Technologies).

The vascular smooth muscle cells were lysed with RIPA buffer (R0278, Sigma-Aldrich™). The concentrations of protein in the cell lysates were measured using Bicinchoninic Acid Kit (Cat #B9643, Sigma-Aldrich™) and copper (II) sulfate solution (C2284, Sigma-Aldrich™). For SDS PAGE, 4–15% Mini-PROTEAN® TGXTM Precast Protein Gels (456–1084, BIO-RADTM) were used. Electrophoresis was performed for a period of 90 minutes at 100 volts, or until the dye front reached the bottom end of the gel. Subsequently, the resolved proteins in the gel were transferred onto PVDF Transfer Membrane, 0.45 μm (88518, ThermoFisher™). The transferred blot was then blocked in Tris-buffered saline with Tween-20 (TBST) buffer containing 3% Bovine Serum Albumin (A7906, Sigma-Aldrich™) for 1 hour. The membrane was then probed with Primary antibody specific to CTSL (1:200, LS-C293267, LifeSpan Biosciences™) or GAPDH Antibody (1D4) (1:1000, NB300-221, Novus Biologicals™) for 16h at 4°C.

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.
