Cell pellets were collected using 0.25% trypsin in EDTA and stored at − 80 °C until used. They were lysed in RIPA buffer supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors and stored at − 80 °C until analysis by western blot. Protein concentration was measured by Pierce™ BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) using the manufacturer’s protocol. The lysate was electrophoresed in SDS-PAGE and then transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL). After transfer, the membrane was incubated in freshly prepared 5% non-fat dry milk (BioRad, Hercules, CA) for 1 h and then incubated against the primary antibodies listed in Additional file 2: Table S1a, diluted in 5% non-fat dry milk, overnight at 4 °C. The membranes were then incubated in secondary antibodies, listed in Additional file 2: Table S1b, and then developed using the ECL method (GE Healthcare) and visualized using ChemiDoc MP image visualizer (BioRad). Quantification was performed using Image J.

Trunk blood was collected to determine serum corticosterone and prolactin levels in groups of rats either from control or stress treatment at 20 min after 30 min-restraint (N=5). Serum was separated by centrifugation (10 min at 10,000 rpm) and stored at −20° C until assay. Corticosterone was determined using immunoassay kits (Catalog No. ADI-900-097 Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY) that employed a competitive immunoassay for quantitative determinations. The optical density of the samples and controls from the standard curve were read immediately in a microplate reader at 450 nm (Bio Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). For prolactin determination, microtiter plates were coated overnight with 10 ng of rat PRL (NHPP-NIH). Serial dilutions of standard rat PRL (0.06–64 ng/ml) in TPBS were incubated for 16 h with 100 μl primary anti-rPRL polyclonal antiserum (1:40,000; NHPP-NIH) in TPBS containing 1% (w/v) non-fat dry milk (Bio-Rad). Samples and standards (100 μl) were then added to the coated wells and incubated for 2 h at room temperature. Secondary goat anti-rabbit IgG peroxidase conjugate (Bio-Rad) was added (1:3000 in TPBS with 1% non-fat dry milk) and incubated for 2 h at room temperature. Bound secondary antibodies were detected by reaction with 2,20 azino-di-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline sulfonate) substrate (Roche, Mannheim, Germany). Plates were read in a microplate reader at 450 nm.

Cells were washed with PBS and lysed with RIPA (Sigma) including 1× HALT protease inhibitor (Life Technologies) for 30 min on ice. Lysates were then cleared by centrifugation at 20,000 rcf for 10 min at 4°C, and protein concentrations were determined using the Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). 10–20 µg of protein was separated on a 12–4% Bis-Tris or 20–4% Tris-Glycine polyacrylamide gel. Proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes by standard wet transfer and then briefly washed in Tris-buffered saline (TBS) and blocked in 3% nonfat dry milk (Bio-Rad) in TBS for 1–2 h. The membranes were then washed and incubated with primary antibodies (listed below) in 1% nonfat dry milk in TBS + 0.1% Tween 20 (TBS-T) under shaking at 4°C overnight. Membranes were washed with TBS-T and incubated with secondary antibodies for 1–2 h. Membranes were washed 2× with TBS-T and 2× with TBS, and then fluorescence was detected using a Li-COR Odyssey Fc instrument. Primary antibodies were anti-ADAR: Cell Signaling Technologies 14175; anti-hnRNPC: abcam ab10294; anti-GAPDH: Cell Signaling Technologies 5174; anti–RIG-I: Adipogen AG-20B-0009-C100; anti-MDA5: Enzo Life Sciences ALX-210-935-C100; and anti-UPF1: abcam ab109363; secondary antibodies were Li-COR goat–anti-rabbit IgG or goat–anti-mouse IgG, IRDye 680 RD or IRDye 800 CW conjugates.

After samples were run on 4–20% gels, they were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Membranes were blocked in 5% (w/v) nonfat dry milk (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) in TRIS-buffered saline (TBS) with 0.1% (v/v) Tween-20 (TBST) and then incubated with primary antibodies in 1% (w/v) nonfat dry milk. After washing with TBST, membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-linked secondary antibodies. Membranes were washed with TBST and then TBS before incubation with Western Lightning Plus (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA) enhanced chemiluminescence reagent, followed by CCD imaging (iBright CL1000, ThermoFisher Scientific). The primary antibody against GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology Cat 8884, RRID:AB11129865) was conjugated to horseradish peroxidase, so there was not a need for incubation with secondary antibodies.

LAPC4 cells were harvested and total cellular proteins were extracted using a lysis buffer (62.5 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 100 mM dithiothreitol, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol). The cytosolic, nucleus and mitochondrial protein extracts were prepared as described (14 (link)). The protein concentrations were determined using the Bio-Rad Protein assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions. Protein (25 µg) was loaded in each lane, electrophoresed on a 15% SDS-PAGE, and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway, NJ, USA). The blots were blocked with TBST buffer [500 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), and 0.1% Tween-20] containing 5% nonfat dry milk (Bio-Rad Laboratories) and then incubated with specific primary antibody in TBST buffer containing 1% nonfat dry milk at 4°C overnight. Following secondary antibody incubation for 1 h at room temperature, bands were visualized using a Super Signal Chemiluminescence kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), and exposed to Kodak X-Max film. β-actin was used as the internal control after stripping off the original membrane. The images were scanned and relative band intensities were calculated using the NIH ImageJ software.

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.
