Western blotting analysis was performed as previously described (19 (link)). Membranes were incubated with antibodies against PKCβI, PKCβII, STAT3, RelB, eGFP (all from Santa Cruz Biotechnology); actin (Sigma-Aldrich); phosphorylated ERK1/2 (pERK1/2), and pSTAT3-Y705 (both from Cell Signaling Technology). HRP-conjugated anti-mouse and anti-rabbit secondary antibodies were obtained from Promega. Western blots were visualized by ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Pierce) onto x-ray film (IBF) and developed in an X-OMAT 2000 film processor (Kodak). Where indicated in the figure legends, changes in protein abundance as determined by Western blot were quantified by densitometric analysis. Western blots were scanned with an HP Scanjet G3010 (Hewlett-Packard), and protein abundance was quantified with Quantity One software (BioRad). Proteins of interest were normalized against the relevant loading controls (for example, actin and STAT3).

Cells were resuspended in lysis buffer (Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) for 30 min and sonicated for 2 min at 20 W, followed by centrifugation at 12,000 × g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant was collected and 50 µg/lane protein (concentration determined using the bicinchoninic assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was separated using SDS-PAGE on a 10% gel (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.) and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.), which was blocked in Tris-buffered saline/Tween-20 (TBST) with 5% non-fat milk for 1 h at 37°C. The membrane was subsequently incubated with primary antibodies against TGF-β1 (cat no. sc-146; 1:2,000), PKCβI (cat no. sc- 209; 1:1,000) and GAPDH (cat no. sc-25778; 1:500) (both from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA) overnight at 4°C. Following washing with TBST, the membranes were incubated with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated labeled goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (cat no. sc-2004; 1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) for 1 h at 4°C, followed by additional three washes with TBST. Protein bands were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA). The Scion Image system version 4.03 (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) was used to quantify band intensity and data are expressed as the mean of three independent experiments.

IGF-II signal transduction may occur through different pathways (Figure 5a). We determined which of these could be associated with senescence. In particular, the MSC cultures were incubated at 37°C for 30 min with each of the following drugs, separately: 100 nM Pertussis toxin (PTX, BMLG101-0050 Enzo Biochem, NY, USA) for the Gαi kinase, 1 μM YM-254890 (YM, 10–1590 Focus Biomolecules, PA, USA) to block Gαq/11, 50 μM D609 (sc201403, Santa Cruz Biotechology, CA, USA) to inhibit PLCβ, 10 μM BAPTA-AM (BPT) (15551 Cayman, MI, USA) and 10 mM 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrostaurosporine (STP, ab143861, Abcam, UK) for PKCα kinase inhibition, 5 nM PKCβi (Santa Cruz Biotech, TX, USA) for PKCβ inhibition, and 100 mM chlorpromazine (CPZ, sc-357313, Santa Cruz) to block endocytosis. Subsequently, we added 25 ng/ml IGF-II, and the samples were further incubated for 24 hr, and the senescence assays were performed. For each drug, we evaluated the inhibitory effect at the concentration we used (Figure 7—figure supplement 1).

Detection of protein localization was performed as previously described [11 (link)–13 (link)]. Paraffin-embedded kidney sections were cut to 4 μm in thickness. The slides were deparaffinized and endogenous peroxidase was blocked by treatment with 3% H2O2. The sections were incubated with the primary antibody to PKCβI (1 : 400; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), PKCβII (1 : 400; Abcam), NHE1 (1 : 100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), or NHE3 (1 : 200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) at 4°C overnight, followed by the respective horseradish peroxidase-linked secondary antibody (Bio-Rad), and then reacted with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) solution (Sigma). As a negative control, the primary antibody was omitted, resulting in negative staining. In a blinded manner, three pathologists independently scored the staining intensity on a semiquantitative five-tiered grading scale from 0 to 4 (0 = negative; 1 = trace; 2 = weak; 3 = moderate; and 4 = strong) as previously described [11 (link)–13 (link), 19 (link)].

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.
