Total protein was extracted from iris and ciliary body tissues of 6 eyes with XFS and 6 normal eyes using RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% DOC, 0.1% SDS). Protein concentrations were determined by the Micro-BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Scientific). Proteins (10 μg per lane) were separated by 4–15% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing conditions (6% DTT) and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes with the Trans-Blot Turbo transfer system (Bio-Rad). Membranes were blocked with SuperBlock T20 (Thermo Scientific) for 30 minutes and incubated for 1h at room temperature or overnight at 4°C with antibodies against POMP (Abcam) and TMEM136 (Abcam) diluted in PBST/10% SuperBlock T20. Equal loading was verified with mouse anti-human p- actin antibody (clone AC-15; Sigma-Aldrich) in PBST/10% SuperBlock T20. In negative control experiments, the primary antibody was replaced by PBST. Immunodetection was performed with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody in PBST/10% SuperBlock T20 and the Super Signal West Femto ECL kit (Thermo Scientific), and band intensity was analysed by computerized densitometry.

Intestinal tissue was homogenized in PBS on ice followed by lysis in RIPA buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL, United States) with Halt protease inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Fisher Scientific), as previously described (Tuggle et al., 2014 (link)). Protein quantification was performed using the BCA assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Samples were mixed with 4× sample buffer and incubated at 37°C for 10 min. Equal amounts of protein (20 μg) were loaded for electrophoresis. Wild type Sprague-Dawley rat trachea and lung extract were used as positive controls for CFTR detection. Membranes were then blocked in 5% non-fat dry milk dissolved in PBST, followed by incubation with monoclonal anti-CFTR (1:3,000; UNC 596) and mouse monoclonal anti-β-actin (1:5,000; Thermo Fisher Scientific), and subsequently goat anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated to HRP (1:10,000; Dako North America, Inc.).

Western Blot Analysis of Protein Samples

An equal amount of protein (50–100 μg) samples was run on SDS–PAGE and transferred to PVDF membrane (Millipore). The membranes were then blocked in 5% skimmed milk in 0.1% TBS-Tween 20 at RT for 1 h on the rocker. Blots were cut according to molecular weights indicated by a pre-stained ladder (Abcam), and appropriate primary antibodies were added and incubated overnight (12–16 h) at 4°C. Blots were washed and incubated with appropriate secondary antibodies. After the secondary antibody incubation, the blots were washed thrice, and the Supersignal West Pico PLUS or Supersignal West Femto ECL kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to detect the bands on GE Amersham Imager 600. All antibodies, chemicals, and reagents used in this study are given in Table S2.

Lung tissue was homogenized in TBS on ice followed by lysis in RIPA buffer (ThermoScientific, Rockford, Il) with Halt protease inhibitor cocktail (ThermoScientific). Protein was quantitated using the BCA assay (ThermoScientific), samples mixed with 4× sample buffer, and incubated at 37°C for 10 minutes. Equal amounts of protein (20 µg) were loaded into each lane, resolved by SDS-PAGE, and blotted onto PVDF membranes.

We cultured hTERT‐RPE1 cells in DMEM/F12 Glutamax medium with 10% foetal bovine serum (Life Technologies). We grew the cells in six well‐plates to reach an 80% confluence, transfected them with 2.5 µg expression plasmids using lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen L3000‐008), collected and lysed them 48 h after transfection using the M‐PER mammalian protein extraction reagent (Thermo 78503). We added MG132 (final concentration 10 µM, 0.1% DMSO) 16 h prior to cell lysis. We loaded equal amounts of protein extracts onto NuPage MOPS 4–12% polyacrylamide gels, transferred them onto nitrocellulose membranes and probed the upper halves of the membranes with an anti‐tubulin monoclonal antibody (1/5000, Sigma B512). We probed the lower halves with either an anti‐Myc monoclonal antibody (1/1000, Cell signalling 9B11) or an anti‐Flag antibody (1/700, Sigma 7425). We revealed the Flag blots with the same antibody as described above and a SuperSignal West Femto ECL kit (Thermo 34095). We revealed the Myc and the tubulin blots with an HRP‐coupled goat anti‐mouse antibody (1/1500, DAKO P0447) and the SuperSignal or the regular ECL detection kit, respectively.

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.
