Protein Expression of GPBAR1 and CSE in LSEC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate protein expression of GPBAR1 and CSE, LSEC were serum starved overnight and then stimulated with 10 μM BAR501 for 18 h. In another experimental setting serum starved LSEC were incubated 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes with 10 μM BAR501. Total lysates were prepared by solubilization of endothelial cells in E1A lysis buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors. The proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad) and probed with primary antibodies CSE (Santa Cruz), GPBAR1/TGR5 (Abcam), tubulin (Sigma), phospho-Akt (Thr308—Santa Cruz), Akt (Santa Cruz), phospho-Serine (Abcam), phosphoeNOS (ser1177 –Cell Signaling), eNOS (Cell Signaling), phosphoFOXO1 (Thr24 –Santa Cruz) and FOXO1 (Santa Cruz). nitrocellulose membranes from immunoprecipitation (IP) experiments were first probed with a phospho-Serine antibody, stripped and then re-probed with the CSE antibody. Similarly, nitrocellulose membranes from IP experiments were first probed with the phospho-Akt antibody, stripped and then re-probed with the Akt antibody. The anti-immunoglobulin G horseradish peroxidase conjugate (Bio-Rad) was used as the secondary antibody, and specific protein bands were visualized using Super Signal West Dura (Pierce), following the manufacturer’s suggested protocol.

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.
