Western Blot Analysis of Lung Proteins

Lung tissues were gently homogenized and lysed in RIPA lysis and extraction buffer (Thermo Fisher). The protein concentrations were measured using the Bradford assay. Equal amounts of protein samples were loaded onto 8–12% SDS-PAGE gels and separated by electrophoresis and then transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore, Bedford, MA). Membranes were blocked in Tris buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween 20 (TBST) with 5% skim milk and incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies. After washing with TBST, the membranes were incubated at room temperature with secondary antibodies for 1 h. The protein signal was analyzed using Image J software. Protein samples were normalized to GAPDH. The primary antibodies were used as follows: anti-NLRX1 (Proteintech, Rosemont, IL), anti-BAX, anti-Cyto C, anti-P-ERK 1/2, anti-T-ERK 1/2, anti-P-JNK, anti-T-JNK, anti-P-p38, anti-T-p38, and anti-GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA).

Protein Extraction and Western Blot Analysis of Aortic Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein extraction from aortic tissue was done as previously described (Rivera-Torres, 2015 (link)). The cytosol and nuclear protein were obtained using Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Protein Extraction kit (CWBIO) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred electrophoretically to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore). After blocking with 5% nonfat milk in TBST (pH 7.4, 20 mM Tris-HCl, 15 m NaCl, and 0.1% [vol/vol] Tween-20), the membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies as follows: anti-TSH (bs-2676R) from Bioss; anti–NF-κB p65 (ab32536, clone E379), anti-IκBα (ab32518, E130) from Abcam; anti–p-IκBα (CST9246, clone 5A5), anti–p-Thr202/Tyr204 Erk1,2 (CST4695, clone 137F5), anti–t-ERK (CST4376, clone 20G11), anti–p-Thr180/Tyr182 p38MAPK (CST4511, clone D3F9), anti–t-p38 (CST9228, clone L53F8), anti–p-Thr183/Tyr185 JNK (CST4668 clone 81E11) from Cell Signaling Technology; anti–t-JNK (sc-7345, clone D-2) from Santa Cruz Biotechnology; and anti-GAPDH, (60004-1-ig, clone 1E6D9) and anti–laminin B (66095-1-ig, clone 3C10G12) from Proteintech. After washing with TBST, the membranes were incubated for 1 h at 25°C with the appropriate HRP-conjugated secondary antibody. The bands were visualized by FluorChemQ system using a chemiluminescence kit (Pierce).

Apoptosis Pathway Protein Analysis

To determine levels of proteins in the apoptosis pathway, we treated HEI-OC1 cells with 60 μM CDDP and 1 or 10 μg/ml ATX/ATX-LPN as described above, and then harvested the cells for western blot analyses. The protein extracts were subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE and electrotransferred to PVDF membranes. The membranes were then blocked for 1 h in quick-blocker at room temperature and incubated overnight in a cold chamber (4 °C) with specific primary antibodies. After incubation, the membranes were washed with TBS and then incubated with HRP conjugated secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature, washed repeatedly, and visualized with an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). GAPDH and α-tubulin served as internal standards. The relative intensity was quantified by Quantity One. The following primary antibodies were used: anti-cleaved-caspase 3, anti-cleaved-caspase 9, anti-p53, anti-BCL-2, anti-P-P38, anti-T-P38 and anti-cytochrome 3 (Cell Signaling Technology, CST), anti-P-JNK (Abcam), and anti-T-JNK (Abcam).

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.
