Occludin 1

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in Australia, United States

Occludin-1 is a laboratory equipment product designed for use in research applications. It is a key component of tight junctions, which are specialized cell-cell adhesion complexes that play a critical role in the regulation of paracellular permeability. Occludin-1 can be used to study the structure and function of tight junctions in various biological systems.

Protein was isolated in situ, and western analysis performed as previously described [27 (link)]. Blots were probed using antibodies directed to Claudin-1, Occludin-1, ZO-1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, North Ryde, Sydney, NSW, Australia), LC3, poly (ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP), Sequestosome (Cell Signaling Technology, Boston, MA), Bcl2, NF-κβ (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX) and β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich) followed by matching horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (R&D Systems, MN, USA). Detection was performed using ECL Prime chemiluminescent substrate (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK). Densitometry of histogram analyses was performed using Multi Gauge software (V3.1 Fugifilm, Tokyo, Japan). Density scores were normalized to both β-actin and the untreated control, and analyzed using a bootstrapped gamma regression model (log link) and stratified by replicate. The statistical analysis was performed using R statistical software (release 3.2.3) and results expressed as relative abundance.

Quantifying Tight Junction Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein was isolated from differentiated AECs within transwells in situ, and Western blot analysis was performed as previously described.16 (link) Blots were probed using antibodies directed to Claudin-1, Occludin-1, ZO-1 (all; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich Co., St Louis, MO, USA). Densitometry of histogram analyses was performed using Multi Gauge software (V3.1; Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan). Density scores were analyzed by a gamma (log link) mixed-model regression to allow for correlated treatment responses within each culture. Results were normalized to both β-actin and the biological control and expressed as relative abundance. The statistical analysis was performed using R statistical software (release 3.2.3) for N=6 cultures.

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.
