SDS-PAGE is a technique used to separate proteins based on their molecular weight. It involves the use of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to denature the proteins and an electric field to drive the proteins through a polyacrylamide gel. The distance the proteins travel through the gel is inversely proportional to their molecular weight, allowing for separation and identification.

Proteomic Analysis of Phagolysosomes and ECVs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The phagolysosomes containing latex beads and the ECVs were resuspended in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) sample buffer, and then separated by SDS-PAGE (4–12%, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). After Coomassie blue staining, gel slices were digested with trypsin, and the resulting peptides were analyzed by nano-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (nano-HPLC-MS/MS) in the Protein Core Facility at the University of Texas Medical Branch (Galveston, TX, USA). LC-MS/MS results were searched against data in the International Protein Index (IPI) canine database using the Mascot search algorithm (v2.1, Matrix Science, London, UK). The search parameters were described below. Oxidation was used as variable modification; mass tolerance for peptide was set as 0.01 Da; and mass tolerance for fragment was set as 0.3 Da. The use of trypsin was specified and one missed cleavage was allowed. A cutoff expectation value of 0.01 (significance threshold) was used for MS/MS spectra that resulted in a false discovery rate of 2.40% (automatic decoy database search). Criteria of protein identification were as follows: minimum of two observed significant peptides; single peptide with E values of <0.005.

To analyze secreted MMP-1 proteins in serum-free media, supernatants were harvested and concentrated 10-fold, using Amicon ultra-4 centrifugal filters. The protein amount of concentrated supernatant was determined using BCA reagent (Thermo Scientific). The supernatant (25 µg protein) was loaded on SDS-PAGE (4–12%, Bio-Rad) and proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. Following transfer, membranes were incubated with primary anti-MMP-1 antibody (Millipore) in TBS with 0.1% Tween 20 for overnight 4°C. For HIF-1α and HIF-2α protein analysis, cells were cultured under hypoxic conditions (1% O2) for 18 hours. Cells were immediately lysed in 2x SDS sample buffer and equal amounts loaded on SDS-PAGE (4–12%, Bio-Rad), followed by protein transfer and membranes were added with primary anti- HIF-1α or HIF-2α antibody (Cell signaling) in 5% nonfat dry milk/TBS with 0.1% Tween 20 for overnight 4°C. Following secondary antibody incubation blots were visualized using the SuperSignal West Femto Chemiluminescent substrate (Thermo Scientific).

For equal loading, protein concentration was measured using Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to manufacturing instructions. A 4%–12% SDS-PAGE (BioRad) was used to separate proteins following a transfer onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (GE Healthcare). The membrane was blocked with bovine serum albumin (Sigma–Aldrich), and the following antibodies were used for incubation overnight: Phospho-Zap-70 (Tyr319)/Syk (Tyr352) (1:2000, #2701; Cell Signaling Technology) and total Zap-70 (1:1000, 99F2; Cell Signaling Technology).
