Cleaved caspase 3

Manufactured by New England Biolabs
Sourced in United Kingdom, United States

Cleaved caspase-3 is an enzyme that plays a key role in the process of apoptosis, or programmed cell death. It is produced when the inactive precursor caspase-3 is cleaved and activated. Cleaved caspase-3 functions as a central executioner in the apoptotic pathway, leading to the breakdown of cellular structures and the death of the cell.

Western blotting was carried out as described in (31 (link)). Antibodies used were MDM2 (Ab-1) 1:300 (#: OP46-100UG, Merck Millipore), MDMX (#: A300287A-2 Bethyl laboratories), WIP1 (F-10) 1:200 (#: sc-376257, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), p53 1:500 (#: NCL-L-p53-DO7, Leica Microsystems Ltd.), phospho-p53Ser-15 1:1000 (#: 9284 Cell Signalling), p21WAF1 1:100 (#: OP64, Calbiochem), BAX 1:1000 (#: 2772S, Cell Signalling), cleaved caspase-3 1:1000 (#: 9664S, New England Biolabs Ltd.), actin 1:3000 (#: A4700, Sigma-Aldrich). Secondary goat anti-mouse/rabbit HRP-conjugated antibodies (#: P0447/P0448, Dako) were used at 1:1000. All antibodies were diluted in 5% milk/1 × TBS-tween (w/v). Proteins were visualised using enhanced chemiluminescence (GE Life Sciences) and X-ray film (Fujifilm). Densitometry was carried out using ImageJ software.

Whole-cell lysates were harvested as previously described (Tweddle et al, 2001b (link)). Proteins were separated using 4–20% Mini-PROTEAN TGX Precast Gels (Bio-Rad Laboratories Ltd, Hemel Hempstead, UK) and transferred onto Hybond-C Extra membrane (GE Life Sciences, Little Chalfont, UK). Primary antibodies used were MDR-1 1 : 200 (Cat No.: sc-13131, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Dallas, TX, USA), p53 1 : 1000 (Cat No.: NCL-L-p53-DO7, Leica Microsystems Ltd, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK), MYCN 1 : 100 (Cat No.: OP13, Merck KGaA), cleaved caspase-3 1 : 1000 (Cat No.: 9664S, New England Biolabs Ltd, Hitchin, UK), actin 1 : 500 (Cat No.: A4700, Sigma-Aldrich) and GAPDH 1 : 500 (Cat No.: sc-25778, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc.). Secondary goat anti-mouse/rabbit HRP-conjugated antibodies (Cat No.: P0447/P0448, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) were used at 1 : 1000. All antibodies were diluted in 5% milk/1 × TBS-tween (w/v). Protein detection was performed using enhanced chemiluminescence (GE Life Sciences) and X-ray film (Fujifilm, Bedford, UK).

GSE was donated by the INDENA Company (Milan, Italy) and used throughout the study. The GSE contains approximately 93.8% proanthocyanidins, with monomers (7.6%) dimers (8.3%), and oligomers (77.9%). Proanthocyanidin B2 (GSPB2) was obtained from Sigma (St. Louis MO). Antibodies to phospho-ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204), AKT, phospho-BAD (phospho-Ser-136), BAD, cleaved-caspase-3, and total caspase-3 were purchased from New England Biolabs Inc. (Beverly, MA, USA) and antibodies to ERK2 (C14), cyclin D2 (C17), p21, p27, and phospho-AKT (Ser 473) were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Monoclonal antibodies to vinculin were purchased from Sigma. Rabbit polyclonal antibodies against StAR were generously provided by Dale Buchanan Hales (University of Illinois, Chicago, IL, USA). All antibodies were used at 1/1000 dilution in Western blotting.

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.
