For each specimen, four thoraxes were dissected and homogenized by dounce tissue grinder in RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitor (cOmpleteTM, Roche). Cellular debris were removed by centrifugation at 4 °C, 14000× g for 20 min. The supernatants were collected and the protein concentrations were determined by Pierce protein assay (Pierce 660 nm Protein Assay Reagent, ThermoScientific). 0.6 μg/well of proteins were loaded for SDS-PAGE and western-blot analysis.
The primary antibodies and the dilutions were as follows: mouse anti-ATP5A (50000x, abcam ab14748), mouse anti-Cytochrome C (10000x, abcam ab13575), mouse anti-PDHA1 (1000x, abcam ab110334), rabbit anti-SOD2 (10000x, abcam ab13534) and rabbit anti-alpha Tubulin (10000x, abcam ab18251). The secondary antibodies and the dilutions were as follows: anti-mouse IgG-HRP (2000x, Invitrogen 62–6520), or anti-rabbit IgG-HRP (5000x, abcam ab97051). The signals were developed by chemiluminescent HRP substrate (ImmobilonTM Western, Millipore) and recorded by a digital multispectral imaging system (BioSpectrum, UVP).

Protein was isolated from liquid nitrogen shock frozen murine brain-hippocampus tissue using N-Per following the manufacturer’s instructions (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and included a protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Protein was quantified using a 660nm protein assay reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). 20 μg of protein was denatured at 95°C in Laemmli sample buffer for 5 min. Samples were resolved on a 4–10% polyacrylamide gel and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, which were blocked for 1h at room temperature in either 3% BSA / TBST. The membranes were incubated in primary antibody overnight at 4°C. The primary antibodies used were rabbit polyclonal PER2 (AB2202, Millipore Sigma, Burlington, MA; antibody verified for PER2 specificity [35 (link)]), mouse monoclonal β-actin (8H10D10, Cell signaling, Danvers, MA), The secondary antibodies used were goat anti-rabbit IgG (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and goat anti-mouse IgG (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA).

NIH/3T3 cells were rinsed once with PBS and lysed in M-PER lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher) supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Sigma). Protein concentration of the lysates cleared of insoluble cell debris were determined using 660 nm Protein Assay reagent (Thermo Fisher). A total of 15 μg of proteins in LDS electrophoresis loading buffer (Life Technologies) was denatured for 10 min at 70 °C and separated on 4–12% SDS-PAGE gel (Life Technologies). Proteins were transferred onto 0.2-μm nitrocellulose membrane (Pall) and processed for Western blotting. Primary antibodies were used at the following dilutions: goat anti-actin (sc-1616, Santa-Cruz Biotechnology, 1:4,000), mouse anti-MYPT1 (612165, Becton-Dickinson, 1:4,000), rabbit anti-MYPT1(pT696) (ABS45, Millipore, 1:500), rabbit anti-RhoA (67B9, Cell Signaling, 1:4,000), rabbit anti-MLC2 (8505, Cell Signaling, 1:4,000), and mouse anti-MLC2(pT19) (3674, Cell Signaling, 1:500). Appropriate secondary IRDye-conjugated antibodies (LI-COR) were used at 1:10,000. Proteins were detected using Odyssey imager (LI-COR). The investigator carrying out the Western blot experiments was not blinded to the identity of the samples.

Cells were lysed in Nonidet P-40 (NP-40) buffer (1% NP-40, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 1X Complete Mini protease inhibitor cocktail [Roche], 1X phosphatase inhibitor cocktail 2 [Sigma] in PBS). Protein concentrations of lysates were determined using 660 nm Protein Assay Reagent (Thermo Scientific), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Equal amounts of protein were resolved on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. Membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat dried milk in TBS-T (20 mM Tris, 137 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween-20; pH 7.6) and then incubated in primary antibody. Following primary antibody incubation, membranes were washed three times with 1% non-fat dried milk in TBS-T, incubated in secondary antibody, and then washed three more times with 1% non-fat dried milk in TBS-T. Proteins were visualized by incubating membranes in ECL chemicals and exposing to film. Bands were quantified using ImageJ software. The following primary antibodies were used for western blotting: 4E-BP1, β-tubulin, cyclin D1, eIF2α, eIF4E, eIF4G, GCN2, Ku80, p27, p-4E-BP1, p-eEF2, p-eIF2α, p-p53 (all from Cell Signaling); β-actin (Sigma), and p21 (BD Pharmigen). The secondary antibodies used were anti-rabbit HRP and anti-mouse HRP from Thermo Scientific.

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.
