Hippocampal Protein Analysis after HSR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At 12 h after HSR, total protein was extracted from the hippocampal tissues (n=6 per group) as described in the IL-1β and IL-18 assay. Samples containing 30 µg protein quantified by bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto a PVDF membrane. The membrane was blocked with 5% skimmed milk at 37°C for 2 h, and primary antibodies rabbit anti-rat polyclonal cleaved caspase-1 (1:1,000; cat. no. ab1872; Abcam), monoclonal NLRP3 (1:1,000; cat. no. ab210491; Abcam), polyclonal Gasdermin D (GSDMD; 1:1,000; cat. no. ab219800; Abcam), polyclonal IL-1b (1:1,000; cat. no. K107559P; Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) and polyclonal IL-18 (1:1,000; cat. no. K002143P; Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) were applied at 4°C overnight, followed by incubation with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (1:2,000; cat. no. sc-2004; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) at 25°C for 1 h. Protein bands in each treatment group were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence western blot detection system ImageJ 1.48u software (National Institutes of Health). β-actin (1:2,000; cat. no. sc-47778; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) was used as an internal reference (20 (link)).

We obtained the cell culture reagents from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA, USA). We purchased D-galactose (D-gal), N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC, ROS scavenger) from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA), and MCC950 (NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor), nigericin (NLRP3 inflammasome activator) from MedChem Express (Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA). The senescence β-galactosidase (β-gal) Staining Kit and DCFH-DA probe were purchased from Beyotime (Shanghai, China). The CellEvent™ Senescence Green Flow Cytometry Assay Kit was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). Primary antibodies including P53 (1:1000, Cell Signal Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), P21(1:1000, Cell Signal Technology), β-actin(1:1000, Cell Signal Technology), NLRP3 (1:1000, Adipogen, San Diego, CA, USA) and ASC (1:1000, Abcam, UK) were purchased from the above accompanied. The IL-1β, IL-18 and LDH kits were purchased from Solarbio Technology (Beijing, China).

After treatment, the culture medium was collected and processed for ELISA. Culture medium (100 µl) was reacted with the following ELISA kits: PGE2 (cat. no. SEKH-0414; Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.), TNF-α (cat. no. SEKH-0047; Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.), IL-1β (cat. no. SEKH-0002; Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) and IL-18 (cat. no. SEKH-0028; Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) according to the manufacturers' protocols. The absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader (Molecular Devices, LLC).

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.
