The liver tissues (20 mg) were homogenized by a homogenizer in 180 µL Radio-Immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer (P0013B, Beyotime, Shanghai, China) supplemented with 2 µL phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF). The tissue lysates further lysed were incubated on ice for 1 h and then centrifuged at 13,200 rpm at 4 °C for 5 min. The protein content was measured using the Pierce BCA protein assay kit (Thermo VK312556). An equal amount of protein per sample was collected and boiled for Western blotting analysis. Western blotting was performed as previously described [21 (link)].

Immunohistochemical Analysis of MYC and BCL2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Slides of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues were stained with an anti-MYC antibody (Abcam, Y69, ab32072) and anti-BCL2 antibody (Abcam, Bcl2/100, ab117115) using a standard streptavidin peroxidase technique and chromogen diaminobenzidine. The staining pattern for MYC protein was distinctly nuclear, whereas staining for BCL2 protein showed a well-defined cytoplasmic staining pattern. The percentage of positive expression lymphoma cells was recorded and used for analysis. To make the determination of expression status more objective, the scoring was performed independently by two different pathologists. The interobserver reproducibility was assessed using the difference between the scorings of each observer. The mean of the scorings from each reader was then calculated and used for the statistical analysis.

hBMSC cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 10 ng/ml Rg1-loaded microspheres or blank microspheres were treated with hypoxia-reoxygenation. The cells were first incubated under hypoxia using a 95% N2 and 5% CO2 for 5 h at 37°C in a water-jacketed N2/CO2 incubator and then incubated in a standard incubator with 5% CO2 in normal air at 37°C for 20 h. Then, the cells were harvested and washed with ice-cold PBS three times, lysed with ice-cold RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime, China) with 1 mmol/l PMSF. The protein concentrations were tested by BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, U.S.A.). Twenty five micrograms of extracted protein were separated by SDS/PAGE (12% (w/v) gel) and transferred to PVDF membranes (Thermo Fisher Scientific, U.S.A.). The membrane was blocked with 5% nonfat dry milk in 0.1% Tween-20 (TBST) at room temperature for 1 h and immunoblotted with anti-Bax (Abcam, ab32503) and anti-Bcl-2 (Abcam, ab117115) at 4°C overnight, followed by incubation with the appropriate horseradish peroxidase–conjugated secondary antibodies for another 1 h at room temperature.

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.
