The SAT, VAT, HPAs, and differentiated HPAs were lysed in tissue/cell lysis/extraction reagent (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 1/100 (v/v) protease inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The protein concentrations of tissue/cell lysates were determined using the Bradford assay. Protein extracts from tissue (30 μg) or cells (15 μg) were separated on a 10% acrylamide gel and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (100 V, 2 h). For tissue lysates, blots were probed for FABP4 (1 : 200, Santa Cruz, Texas, USA), CHOP (1 : 1000, Cell Signaling, MA, USA), insulin growth factor 1-receptor (IGF-1R, 1 : 1000, Cell Signaling, MA, USA), and GAPDH (1 : 1000, Santa Cruz, Texas, USA). For cell lysates, blots were stained for IGF-1R (1 : 1000, Cell Signaling, MA, USA), PPARγ (1 : 1000, Cell Signaling, MA, USA), p-Akt (Ser 473) (1 : 1000 Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), Akt (1 : 1000, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), and GAPDH (1 : 1000, Santa Cruz, Texas, USA). Densitometric analysis of the bands was performed with ImageJ (1.45v, National Institutes of Health, USA) to determine the respective protein expression levels.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blot was performed as described earlier 11 (link). In short, total proteins were extracted from U87 and U251 cells using RIPA buffer with protease inhibitors.

Then the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies for 2 hours. Immunoblots were visualized using ECL chemiluminescent detection system and relative integrated density values (IDVs) were calculated by FLuor Chem2.0 software using GAPDH as a control for protein normalization. The antibodies were listed in the following: IGF-1R, p-IGF-1R, AKT, p-AKT (1:1000; Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA), GAPDH (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), Goat anti-rabbit antibody and Goat anti-mouse antibody (1:5000, Proteintech, Hubei, China).

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.
