For Western immunoblotting, equal amounts (15 µg/lane) of proteins were diluted in RIPA lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States) and mixed with Laemmli buffer (120 mM Tris-HCl, 20% glycerol, 0.4% SDS, and 0.02% bromophenol blue, pH 6.8) containing fresh 5% β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, United States). The samples were denatured at 99°C for 7 min. The proteins were separated on 10% SDS-PAGE gels and then blotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF; BioRad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, United States) membranes. The membranes were blocked with either 5% non-fat dried milk (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, United States) or BSA (Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, United States) in TBS-T (20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween-20, pH 7.6) for 1 h at room temperature with agitation. The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies (listed below) overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with alkaline phosphatase-linked goat antirabbit or antimouse antibodies for 1 h at RT. The membranes were washed three times in TBS-T for 5 min. The bands were visualized using 1-Step™ NBT/BCIP Substrate Solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States) and their intensities were semiquantitatively measured with ImageJ software (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/). All experiments were run in triplicates.

Western blot assays were performed to detect protein expression in kidneys or cells. Briefly, whole cell, nuclei or cytosol lysates (10 ~ 50 μg of protein) were heated (95 °C) for 5 minutes in laemmli sample buffer (Biorad). Proteins were then separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in acrylamide gels (8~15%) and transferred using a Bio-Rad western system to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF; Biorad) membranes, which were immediately placed in 5% non-fat milk in Tris-buffered saline (TBS, 50 mM Tris, pH 7.6, 150 mM NaCl)-Tween (0.1% Tween20) buffer for blocking (1 h at 25 °C). Membranes were then washed 3 times in TBS-Tween buffer for 10 minutes, followed by incubation with specific primary antibodies (dilution 1:500 to 1:2000) at 4 °C overnight. Membranes were then washed 3 times for 10 min in TBS-Tween buffer, and incubated with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse antibody (1:10,000), or anti-rabbit antibody (1:10,000) at 25°C for 1 h. Resulting immunoblots were visualized using ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Pierce) and a LI-COR chemiluminescence imager (LI-COR), according to the manufacturers’ instructions.

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.
