Proteins were extracted from RMCs using RIPA lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% deoxycholate, 1% Nonidet P-40, 0.1% SDS, 1 mM PMSF, and protease cocktail at 1 μg/mL). Protein concentrations were determined using a BCA kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, AL, USA). Equal amounts of protein (60 µg) were separated by SDS-PAGE on a 6%, 10%, or 12% acrylamide gel and then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. After the membrane had been blocked with non-fat dry milk in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.05% Tween 20 for 1 h at room temperature, it was probed with the following primary antibodies overnight at 4°C: anti-VDR (catalogue no.: ab109234, Abcam, USA), anti-DDIT4 (catalogue no.: NBP1–77321, Novus Biologicals, USA), anti-TSC1 (catalogue no.: 6935S, Cell Signaling Technology, USA), anti-TSC2 (catalogue no.: 4308P, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-Rheb (catalogue no.: 13879S, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-mTOR (catalogue no.: Ab51044, Abcam), anti-4E-BP1 (catalogue no.: ab2606, Abcam), and anti-p70S6K (catalogue no.: ab32359, Abcam). After extensive washing, the membranes were incubated with Dylight anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody. The antigens were visualized using the Odyssey infrared imaging system (LI-COR Biotechnology, Nebraska, USA). The results were expressed as the relative intensity (RI) intensity (adjusted to that of β-actin) of each band.

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.
