Abscess tissues were carefully dissected away from healthy tissues and were homogenized in 500 μl of radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Boston BioProducts). Abscess homogenates were subsequently centrifuged twice at 12,000g for 15 min, and protein content from the clarified supernatants was quantified using a bicinchoninic acid assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Glucose from clarified supernatants containing equivalent amounts of protein was quantified using the glucose assay kit from EMD Millipore (Billerica, MA) following the manufacturer instructions.

Oxyblot (Millipore) was performed on the ischemic and nonischemic myocardial tissue as per manufacturer protocol. Briefly, tissue was lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Boston BioProducts) and 2 aliquots of each specimen were analyzed (1 aliquot was subjected to a derivatization reaction, while the other aliquot served as a negative control). A 5‐μL protein sample derived from each experimental animal was divided into 2 eppendorf tubes and then denatured with 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate. For the positive control, 2,4‐dinitrophenylhydrazine solution was used to derivatize the samples. Derivatization control solution was used in the control samples. Both sets of samples were incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes after which neutralization solution was added. Finally, the 2 samples were loaded onto a polyacrylamide gel and followed by SDS‐PAGE, Western blot transfer, and immunodetection.

For Western blotting, whole‐cell lysates were prepared using radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Boston Bio Products, Ashland, MA) with Halt proteinase inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Protein concentration was measured using a BCA Protein Assay kit (Pierce, Rockford, MA) and a Nanodrop 8000c spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Equal amounts (30 μg) of proteins were separated onto 4% to 10% mini‐PROTEAN TGX gels (Biorad, Hercules, CA) under reducing and denaturing conditions and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. The membranes were blotted with a 1:200 dilution of HuR antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) at 4°C overnight. An anti‐GAPDH (1:5000 dilution; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) or an anti‐tubulin (Sigma) antibody was used as a loading control for all studies. Goat anti‐rabbit or anti‐mouse horseradish peroxidase antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) were used at a dilution of 1:5000. Proteins were visualized using Clarity Western ECL Blotting Substrate (Biorad). Band intensities were detected by ChemiDoc MP Imaging System and analyzed by Image Lab software (Biorad).

Six- to eight-week-old BALB/c nu/nu mice (Cox Laboratories, Massachusetts General Hospital) were maintained in accordance with the institutional guidelines of the Massachusetts General Hospital animal care facility. HuH-7 (S2 signature) and SK-Hep (non-S2 signature) were trypsinized and suspended in a 1:1 solution of 4°C PBS:Matrigel Matrix Solution (BD Biosciences) at a concentration of 5 × 106 living cells/100uL solution. Mice were anesthetized with ketamine/xylazine and 100uL of cell suspension was injected subcutaneously into the right flank. When tumors reached 100 mm3, mice were randomized to receive BGJ-398 (30mg/kg) in 100 μL of 0.5% methylcellulose daily by oral gavage, or 100 uL of 0.5% methylcellulose alone. Tumor volumes were measured every other day for 14 days using a calipers and the mathematical approximation of an ellipsoid: V = 0.52 × length × width × height. Mice were euthanized at the end of the study. Tumors were immediately bisected with half the tissue fixed in 10% formalin and half snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80C. Frozen portions of tumors were thawed, minced and sonicated in radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Boston BioProducts), before proceeding with western blotting as above.

Oxidative stress in ischemic myocardial tissue was determined using an Oxyblot Protein Oxidation Detection Kit (MilliporeSigma, Burlington, MA), which detects carbonyl groups introduced into proteins by oxidative reactions. Tissue was lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Boston Bioproducts, Milford, MA). A sample of 20 μg of protein was denatured with 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate, subjected to 2,4‐dinitrophenylhydrazine solution to derivatize the samples, incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes, and neutralized with neutralization solution as per the manufacturer's protocol (MilliporeSigma, Burlington, MA).

Western blot analysis was performed according to the protocol of our previous study (Son et al., 2020 (link)). The samples for SDS‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE) were prepared by extracting proteins from 3T3‐L1 cells with radio‐immunoprecipitation assay buffer (Boston Bio Products) containing protease inhibitor (Sigma‐Aldrich) and phosphatase inhibitor (Sigma‐Aldrich) and quantifying the protein amounts by BCA assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific). After sample preparation, the protein (25 μg/well) was separated by SDS‐PAGE, and then proteins separated on the gel were transferred to the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. After the transfer, the PVDF membrane was blocked with 5% nonfat milk in Tris‐buffered saline containing .05% Tween 20 (TBS‐T) at room temperature for 1 hr, and then, the PVDF membranes were treated with the primary antibodies in 5% bovine serum albumin in TBS‐T at 4ºC for overnight. After the primary antibody treatment was completed, the PVDF membranes were treated with the secondary antibodies in 5% nonfat milk in TBS‐T at room temperature for 1 hr. Chemiluminescence was detected with ECL Western blotting substrate (Amersham Biosciences) and visualized using LI‐COR C‐DiGit Blot Scanner (Li‐COR Biosciences). The density of Western blot bands was calculated using the software UN‐SCAN‐IT gel version 5.1 (Silk Scientific Inc.).

Tissue lysates were prepared from frozen liver with radio-immunoprecipitation assay buffer (Boston Bioproducts, Ashland, MA, USA) containing HALT protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Protein concentration was determined using the bicinchoninic acid assay (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). Equal amounts of protein from each sample (20–30 μg) were separated on 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gels (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and subsequently transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride or nitrocellulose membranes. Membranes were then blocked in 5% milk and incubated with anti-osteopontin (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and anti-GAPDH (loading control; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). Species-appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) were used to detect antigen–antibody complexes. Blots were developed using Luminata Classico (Millipore) and exposed to X-ray film. Label-free quantitation was performed using the spectral count approach, in which the relative protein quantitation is measured by comparing the number of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) spectra identified from the same protein in each of the multiple liquid chromatography (LC)/MS/ MS data sets. Scaffold was used for quantitation analysis.

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.
