Treated rat NP cells were immediately placed on ice and washed with cold PBS. To prepare the total cellular proteins, the cells were lysed with lysis buffer containing 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.6), 50 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 1% Nonidet P-40, complete protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, IN, USA), 1 mM NaF, and 1 mM Na3VO4. Heat-denatured samples were separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels and electrotransferred onto Immobilon-P polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, MA, USA). The membranes were then blocked with blocking buffer (5% BSA and 0.1% NaN3 in PBS) and subsequently incubated overnight at 4 °C with anti-CCN2 (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology or Abcam, Cambridge, UK) antibodies diluted in Can Get Signal Immunoreaction Enhancer Solution (Toyobo, Tokyo, Japan). Chemiluminescent signals were visualized with an Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Millipore) and scanned using an Ez-Capture MG imaging system (ATTO, Tokyo, Japan). The western blot data were quantified using Image J pixel analysis (NIH Image software). Western blot data are presented as band intensity normalized to that of the loading control (β-actin). To measure the band intensity, the data shown are representative of at least three independent experiments.

Western blot analyses for LasB were performed using standard protocols as previously described [37 (link)]. Briefly, equal concentration of protein samples (from bacterial culture supernatants) were resolved by SDS-PAGE and electro-blotted onto Immobilon P polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA). The membranes were then incubated for 60 min at room temperature in blocking solution (3% bovine serum albumin in PBS), followed by a 4-h incubation with polyclonal antibody against P. aeruginosa LasB (a gift from Professor Dennis Ohman, Virginia Commonwealth University). The membranes were hybridized with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody. The immune complexes were visualized using the Amersham ECL Western Blotting Detection System (Danaher Corporation, Washington, D.C., USA) on HyBlot CL autoradiography films (Denville Scientific, InC, Metuchen, NJ, USA). In order to assure reproducibility, western blotting was performed twice with similar results. Protein expression levels were quantified by densitometry normalized to the number of bacteria within each sample by using the ImageJ software.

Cells were harvested and lysed with RIPA buffer (20 mM Tris [pH 7.0], 2 mM EGTA, 5 mM EDTA, phosphatase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, and 1% Triton X-100). Samples were rocked at 4°C for 30 minutes, and then spun at 6,000 × g at 4°C. Cell extracts were fractionated on a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gel, and the proteins were transferred electrophoretically to Immobilon P polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore) in Tris-glycine buffer (25 mM Tris, 192 mM glycine, 20% methanol). Blots were incubated with the indicated antibody and subsequently with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch). Immunoreactive proteins were visualized by chemiluminescence using the Amersham ECL Plus Western blotting detection reagents (GE Healthcare).

Cells and PDX organoids (PDX-O) were lysed with RIPA buffer (Pierce) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) and PhosStop phosphatase inhibitor mix (Roche). PDX lysate was obtained by mechanical homogenization, reconstituted in RIPA buffer. Protein extracts (20 μg) were separated on 4%–12% NuPAGE Bis-Tris gel (Invitrogen) by electrophoresis and subsequently transferred onto Immobilon-P polyvinylidene difluoride membranes of 0.45 μm pore size (Millipore). Chemiluminescence was detected on the Chemidoc Touch imaging system (Bio-Rad). Detailed antibodies in Supplementary Table S3.

Whole cell lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE using 10% (for GFP-TbAtg8) or 12% (for HA-TbAtg8) acrylamide gels. For immunoblotting, proteins were transferred onto Immobilon P polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) by semi-dry blotting for 75 min at 2.5 mA/cm2. Mouse monoclonal antibodies against GFP (Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland) or HA (Covance) were used at a dilution of 1∶3000. Mouse monoclonal antibody against eukaryotic elongation factor 1A (eEF1A; Upstate, Lake Placid, NY) was used at a dilution of 1∶5000. Primary antibodies were detected using rabbit anti-mouse IgG conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (Dako, Baar, Switzerland), at a dilution of 1∶5000, by enhanced chemiluminescence (Pierce, Lausanne, Switzerland).

Western Blot Analysis of Protein Complexes

SDS-PAGE loading buffer was added to cleared whole-cell lysates or to samples containing purified protein complexes and resolved on 10% SDS-PAGE gels (Criterion Tris-HCl; Bio-Rad). For Western analysis, resolved proteins were transferred to Immobilon-P polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore) and probed using the antibodies described in Table S2. Generally, goat anti-mouse IgG–horseradish peroxidase (HRP) secondary antibodies were used, except where mouse anti-V5 primary antibodies were used to probe Western blots of anti-KREPA2-immunoprecipitated proteins. Here, protein A-conjugated HRP was employed to prevent detection of denatured anti-KREPA2 IgG heavy chain. Blots were developed with an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (Thermo Scientific) per the manufacturer’s instructions and imaged using the FluorChem E system (ProteinSimple) or X-ray film (Kodak).

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.
