HUVECs with or without SCF were
lysed with RIPA lysate (Pro Tech) at hours 3, 6, and 9. Protein concentrations
were tested with a protein assay kit (Bosterbio). The total proteins
were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to a PVDF membrane (the membrane
was blocked with 5% non-fat milk), incubated with a vascular endothelial
growth factor A (VEGFA) (Wanleibio, WL00009b) primary antibody at
4 °C overnight, and then incubated with a secondary antibody
(ZSGBBI O, ZB2301) after washing. The signal of the immunoreactive
protein was visualized using a hypersensitive ECL chemiluminescence
reagent (Boster, AR1171) and then analyzed by using Image J software.

Protein samples were prepared from brain tissues and PC12 cells using RIPA lysis buffer (AR0105; Boster, Wuhan, China) and quantified with a Protein Assay kit (AR0146; Boster). In order to detect the levels of protein expression, protein samples were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE gel and then transferred onto a PVDF membrane (C3117; Millipore, MA, USA). Following sealed with 5% skimmed milk powder at room temperature for 1 h, the membranes were incubated with rabbit anti-Wnt3a (#2721), rabbit anti-β-catenin (#8480), and rabbit anti-β-actin (#4970; 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology, MA, USA) at 4°C overnight and then incubated with goat anti-rabbit IgG at room temperature for 1 h. β-actin was used as inner loading control. Protein bands were visualized using an ECL chemiluminescence kit (WBULS0500; EMD Millipore).

Prolactinoma specimens and cells were lysed in lysis buffer for 30 min on ice. The total protein was quantified using a Protein Assay kit (Boster, Inc. cat. no. AR0106). Equal amounts of protein (30 µg) were separated on 10-15% SDS-PAGE gels and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. After blocking with 5% milk in TBST for 2 h at room temperature, the membranes were incubated with the aforementioned primary antibodies (1:1,000) at 4 °C overnight. The membranes were then washed in TBST buffer and incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:3000) for 2 h at room temperature. After a final wash step, the membranes where developed using SuperSignal West Pico ECL solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. cat. no. 34580) and the protein bands were detected and visualized using the FluorChem™ E imaging system (ProteinSimple).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human esophageal cancer tissues and adjacent noncancerous mucosal tissue were homogenized and centrifuged at 12 000g for 30 minutes at 4°C. The protein concentrations were determined using the BCA (Bicinchonininc Acid) Protein Assay Kit (BOSTER, Wuhan, China). Thirty micrograms of total protein was separated by 10% SDS-PAGE (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis), transferred to a PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) membrane, and blocked in 5% milk. The membranes were incubated with rabbit polyclonal antibody for Mel-18 (1:500 dilution, bs-9673 R, Bioss, Beijing, China) and rabbit polyclonal antibody for Bmi-1 (1:8000 dilution, ab85688, ABCAm) or GAPDH (Glyceraldehyde Phosphate Dehydrogenase) (1:6000 dilution, China) at 4°C overnight. The secondary antibody (1:8000 dilution, China) was incubated with the membrane for 1 hour at room temperature. Finally, the immunoreactive protein bands were visualized with a chemiluminescence kit (Millipore, MA, USA).

Four
regenerated nerve
grafts (CST, DPSCs, SCF + DPSCs, and Autograft) were lysed with RIPA
lysate (ProTech) 12 weeks after operation. Then, the protein concentration
was detected using a protein assay kit (Bosterbio). Next, the total
protein was separated via sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel
electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to the polyvinylidene fluoride
(PVDF) membrane preblocked with 5% non-fat milk. Then, the PVDF membrane
was incubated with anti-CD31 monoclonal primary antibody (GeneTex,
JC70A, 1:100) at 4 °C overnight and incubated with secondary
antibody (Invitrogen, 31430, 1:5000) for 1 h. The signals of CD31
were visualized using the hypersensitive ECL chemiluminescence reagent
(Boster, AR1171), and the result was analyzed using the Image J software
for the relative CD31 protein expression level.

SH-SY5Y cells were lysed with RIPA Lysis Buffer (P0013B; Beyotime, China). The concentration of total protein was measured by protein assay kit (AR0146; Boster, China). The protein samples were separated using 10% or 12% SDS-PAGE gel and blotted to PVDF membranes. Subsequently, the PVDF membranes were incubated overnight at 4℃ in primary antibodies as follows: p-ERK (1:1000; #4370, CST, U.S.), ERK (1:1000; ab184699, Abcam, U.K.), p-Drp1S616 (1:1000; #3455, CST, U.S.), Drp1 (1:1000; #8570S, CST, U.S.), Mfn2 (1:1000; #9482S, CST, U.S.), Mfn1 (1:1000; #14,739, CST, U.S.), Opa1 (1:1000; #67589S, CST, U.S.), LC3B (1:2000; ab192890, Abcam, U.K.), Beclin1 (1:2000; 11,306, Proteintech, China), p62 (1:1000; #5114, CST, U.S.), GAPDH (1:1000; #5174, CST, U.S.).

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.
