Quantifying Peripheral Tau Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The levels of total tau in peripheral organs tissues were measured by
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kits (Thermo Fisher Scientific),
following the manufacturer’s instructions. For the second series of
submandibular glands, total tau (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and levels of
phosphorylated tau detected by pT231 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and pS396
(Thermo Fisher Scientific) were quantified. All steps were performed at room
temperature. Optical density of each well was measured immediately after adding
Stop Solution using a plate reader set at an absorbance of 450 nm for 1 second;
sample concentrations were calculated against the generated standard curves.
total tau and S396 data were then adjusted to ng tau/mg sample protein, while
T231 data were adjusted to T231 units/mg sample protein.

Three-month-old female P301L human tau transgenic mice (JNPL3), having an average weight of 32 g at the time of testing were used. They received a single dose of SAR502250 (1, 3, 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg/d) by oral route. One hour after the administration, brains and spinal cords were rapidly dissected and quickly frozen. Tissue was homogenized with homogenization buffer (62.5 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 2.3% SDS, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM DTT, Protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich), Phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Roche Diagnostics). Homogenized sample was boiled for 5 min and centrifuged at 15,000 x g for 15 min. Supernatant was collected and protein concentration was measured by DC protein assay (Bio Rad). 10 μg of samples were applied on 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. Total human tau protein and phosphorylated (S396) tau protein was evaluated by western-blotting labelling with TauN (BD Transduction) and PS396 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) antibodies respectively. Each band was visualized with ECL kit (Amersham Bioscience) and detected with LAS 1000 (Fuji Film).

Cell lysates were resolved via SDS-PAGE (on 10% gels for tau-T40 and 15% gels for tau-K18), transferred to nitrocellulose membrane (Biorad), and blocked with 2% milk in 1X TBS for 30 min. Membranes were incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4 °C, followed by a 1 h room temperature incubation with HRP-conjugated anti-mouse or anti-rabbit antibodies (1:1000). The following primary antibodies were used: pSer202/pThr205-tau (AT8, 1:1000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MN1020), pSer262-tau (p-S262, 1:1000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, 44-750G), pThr231-tau (AT180, 1:1000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MN1040), pThr181-tau (AT270, 1:1000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MN1050), tau-1 (1:1000, Millipore, MAB3420), pSer396-tau (p-S396, Thermo Fisher Scientific, 44-752G), anti-acetylated K280-tau4 (link) (ac-K280, 1:1000), tau K9JA (total tau, 1:5000, Dako, A0024), tau-T46 (1:1000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, 13-6400), and Hsc70 (1:1000, Enzo Life Sciences, SPA-815). ImageJ software (NIH) was used to quantify band intensity.

Human pIRES-eGFP-Tau40 plasmid was a gift of Dr. Khalid Iqbal (New York State Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities, Staten Island, NY). The PCI-neo-Tau40 was constructed in our lab. For GFP-parkin (PK2, the full-length mouse parkin cDNA) was cloned into pEFGP-C1 plasmid (Clontech). EGFP-labeled AAV2/8-htau and its control virus were purchased from OBio Biologic Technology Co., Ltd.

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.
