Exosome Protein Analysis by Western Blot

Cells and exosomes were lysed in a RIPA buffer containing 1% NP-40, 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 137 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA (Mallinckrodt Baker Inc., Philipsburg, NJ, USA), 10% glycerol (Frutarom LTD, Haifa, Israel), 1% protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich) and 0.1% SDS (Biological Industries). After centrifugation, protein content was quantified using the Bradford assay, and 25 μg of protein from each specimen were heat-denaturated in a Laemmli sample buffer and fractionated in 10% gels by SDS–PAGE, electro-transferred to nitrocellulose membrane for blotting with antibodies. In order to block nonspecific binding, membranes were incubated for 1 h in 5% low-fat milk dissolved in TBST. Membranes containing proteins originating from exosomes did not undergo blocking as per the manufacturer’s instruction for CD81 antibody. Membranes were then incubated with the following antibodies: ERK monoclonal antibody (#4695, Cell Signaling Biotechnology, Danvers, MA, USA), p-ERK monoclonal antibody (#4377, Cell Signaling Biotechnology) and CD81 polyclonal antibody (PA5-13582, Thermo Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). GAPDH (14C10; Cell Signaling Biotechnology) was used as loading control. Blots were developed in Bio-Rad ChemiDoc™ XR and analyzed using Image Lab™ software.

PS and IpL were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) in 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; pH 7.4) for 24 hours at 4°C. Decalcification was performed during five days in 5% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, Mallinckrodt Baker, Phillipsburg, NJ, USA) and 2% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M PBS, pH 7.4 for five days at 4°C. Tissues of three animals per experimental group (a total of 18 animals) were dehydrated in graded concentrations of alcohol, embedded in Historesin (Leica Microsystems, Heidelberg, Germany) and sectioned (3 μm) for staining with Giemsa [14 (link)]. Alternatively, interpubic tissues of an additional three animals per group (a total of 18 animals) were decalcified and dehydrated in graded concentrations of alcohol, embedded in paraffin, sectioned (5 μm), stained with Sirius Red F3B and observed with the aid of polarization microscopy to gain insight into the time-dependent changes of the microstructure of collagen fibres in the pubic joint during pregnancy [12 (link)]. Sections were examined and imaged under a Nikon Eclipse E800 light microscope (Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
