Leukocytes were isolated from SGs and spleens as described previously (Stacey et al., 2011 (link)). CD4+ T cells were purified via magnetic separation using a MagniSort Mouse CD4 Positive Selection Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Cell lysates were generated from equal numbers of cells using NuPAGE LDS Sample Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 100 mM dithiothreitol (Sigma-Aldrich). Samples were loaded onto 4–12% NuPAGE Bis-Tris Gels (Thermo Fisher Scientific) after boiling and transferred to a PVDF membrane using an XCell II Blot Module (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Blots were probed with anti-arginase-1 (rabbit polyclonal, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and developed using anti-rabbit IgG–HRP (Bio-Rad). Band intensity was determined using a G:BOX Gel Imaging System (Syngene). Blots were then stripped using Restore PLUS Western Blot Stripping Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and probed again with anti-actin (rabbit polyclonal, Abcam).

Hearts were homogenized in homogenization buffer containing 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris–HCl, 50 mM NaF, 2% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, supplemented with phosphatase and proteases inhibitor cocktail set III (Calbiochem). Homogenates were then loaded onto polyacrylamide gels for SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, transferred to PVDF membranes, blocked with 5% milk and probed with primary antibodies against atrial natriuretic factor (ANP; Millipore AB2232, 1:1000), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP; Abcam ab239510, 1:1000), and calcipressin-1 (ThermoFisher 14869-1-AP, 1:1000). Equal protein loading was verified by re-probing for GAPDH (Abcam ab8245). Bands were detected by chemiluminescent signals using the enhanced chemiluminescence method (SuperSignal West Dura Extended Duration Substrate, ThermoScientific, USA) and visualized with a G:BOX gel imaging system (SynGene, Cambridge, United Kingdom). Band intensity was measured using ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, USA). For each gel, the signal intensity was averaged over the control samples. Then, the signal intensity in all lanes was normalized to this average. This procedure was repeated on all technical replicates and the normalized signal intensity was averaged for each sample, followed by averaging over experimental groups.

Western Blot Protein Extraction Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein extraction of cultured RPCs was carried out using a RIPA lysis buffer (Pierce, United States) complemented with a Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Roche, Germany). Insoluble material was removed by centrifugation at 12,000 × g for 10 min at 4°C. Protein concentrations were determined using the BCA method (Pierce) and adjusted in line. A total of 20–40 μg of each protein was subjected to electrophoresis on 10–12% SDS polyacrylamide gels (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to PVDF membranes. Membranes were blocked for 1 h in 5% non-fat dry milk in Tris-HCl buffer containing 0.05% Tween-20 (TBST), after which they were incubated in primary antibodies (showed in Supplementary Table 1) overnight at 4°C. After washing three times in TBST, membranes were then incubated in an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (showed in Supplementary Table 1) for 2 h at room temperature. After being thoroughly rinsed, immunoreactive bands were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) substrate (Pierce) and exposed to a Fuji X-ray film (Japan). The bands were collected with a G: box gel imaging system (Syngene, United Kingdom) and analyzed with the ImageJ software (NIH). The housekeeping β-actin was used as the internal control to normalize the levels of target proteins.

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.
