α actinin

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United States

α-actinin is a structural protein that plays a key role in the organization and dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton. It functions as a cross-linking and bundling protein, helping to maintain the integrity and structural organization of actin filaments. α-actinin is found in a variety of cell types, including muscle and non-muscle cells, where it contributes to the regulation of cell shape, motility, and adhesion.

After 24 h post-transfection, cells were collected, and protein extracts obtained by adding Leammli sample buffer (Bio Rad, Ca, USA). Equal amounts of proteins were loaded and separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. The membrane was blocked using 7.5% milk in TBS/0.01% Tween buffer and then incubated with the indicated antibodies. Primary antibodies were prepared in TBS/0.01% Tween buffer as follows: anti-GAPDH (1:1000) (32233; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, California), anti-HA (1:1000) (C29F4; Cell Signaling Technology Europe, B.V), anti-p52NFκB (1:1000) (298; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, California), α-Actinin (1:1000) (17829; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, California) and Phospho-IκBα (Ser32/36)(5A5) (9246; Cell signaling Technology Europe, B.V) Membranes were washed three times with TBS/0.01% Tween buffer and incubated with HRP coupled secondary anti-mouse or anti-rabbit antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, California).

Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Millipore-Sigma, St. Louis, MO) for 20 min and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 20 min at room temperature for nuclear markers. Cell fixation and permeabilization for cytoskeletal markers was done with cold (−20°C) methanol for 3–5 min. Samples were washed three times (5 min each time) with PBS between each step and blocked with 3% normal donkey serum (NDS; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA) in PBS for 30 min. Samples were incubated at 4°C with primary antibodies for: cardiac troponin T (TNNT2; rabbit; ab45932; Abcam, Cambridge, MA), α-actinin (ACTN1; mouse; sc-15335) and GATA4 (rabbit; sc-9053; both from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX). Incubation with secondary antibodies was performed at room temperature for 1 h with donkey anti-rabbit or anti-mouse antibodies conjugated to DyLight 488 or 549 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Inc., West Grove, PA). Nuclear DNA was stained with DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Controls were stained with IgG instead of with a primary antibody. Immunostaining was visualized with a Leica TCS SPE confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems Inc., Buffalo Grove, IL).

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.
