Dot-blotting was performed as previously described [29 (link)]. Briefly, aliquots of AGFC (50 μL) and phenyl Sepharose (100 μL) fractions were spotted on nitrocellulose membranes and denatured with 6 M guanidinium chloride (Merck). Membranes were blocked with low-fat dry milk (3% w/v) and incubated sequentially with anti-MATα1 antisera (1:10,000 v/v) prepared in our laboratory [32 (link)] and a secondary anti-rabbit-HRP antibody (1:10,000 v/v; BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA). The protein signal was then visualized with Western LightningTM chemiluminescence reagent (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA). Quantification of dot-blots was performed by densitometric scanning of the images using ImageJ v1.37 software, and values were corrected for differences in fraction volumes.

After transfection for 48 h, the podocytes from each group were lysed by whole-cell lysate for 10 min on ice. The radioimmunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer was used to extract total proteins from the cultured podocytes, and a bicinchoninic acid kit was utilized to determine their concentration. The total proteins were then isolated through sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. After blocking in 5% skim milk at room temperature for 1 h, the membranes were probed with primary antibodies [glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), 1:1000, Abcam, United States; C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), 1:500, Abcam, United States; caspase-12, 1:1000, Abcam, United States] overnight at 4 °C and then incubated with the secondary antibody for 1 h. The membranes were washed three times with PBST for 10 min, incubated in Western LightningTM Chemiluminescence Reagent (PerkinElmer, United States) for 5 min, and visualized by the LabWorksTM imaging system. β-Tubulin (1:1000, Abcam, United States) was used as an internal control. ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, United States) was used to analyze the gray value of the target band.

One week after HI injury, microdissected brain tissue of the affected cortex, striatum, and corpus callosum from the injured (ipsilateral) and uninjured (contralateral) hemispheres was collected either as a single wedge of infarcted tissue, or as microdissected regions. The tissue was homogenized and then sonicated in lysis buffer. 30μg of denature protein was loaded into a 4–12% Bis-Tris gel (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), and 5 μL of Amersham ECL Rainbow Marker was loaded as a molecular weight standard (GE Life Sciences, Pittsburgh, PA).

On day 10, cells cultured on Ti surfaces with or without PF-573228 were lysed, and the protein of each cell was extracted and transferred to PVDF membrane as previously described9 (link) to evaluate FAK protein expression by Western Blotting assay. Blocking of non-specific sites was performed with 5% Non-Fat Dry Milk Blotting Grade Blocker (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) for 2 h. Cells were incubated overnight at 4°C with a rabbit polyclonal antibody to FAK (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology, Denver, MA, USA) and a mouse anti-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) monoclonal antibody (1:2000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), which was used as a control. Secondary antibodies conjugated to HRP (1:2000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) were used for immunodetection with Western Lightning Chemiluminescence Reagent (PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Waltham, MA, USA), and images were captured by a G:Box gel imaging system (Syngene, Cambridge, UK).

HUVECs were pre-treated with test compounds and incubated with MGO at indicated time points (1, 2, 4 h). Total cytosolic proteins were extracted with Triton-based lysis buffer (Epitomics, Burlingame, CA) and protein concentration was determined using DC Protein Assay kit (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Equal amounts of proteins (~50 µg) were loaded onto 10–20 % Criterion gels (Bio-Rad), separated by gel electrophoresis, and then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Membranes were blocked with 5 % skimmed milk in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.05 % Tween 20 (TBS-T) before incubation for overnight at 4 °C with primary antibody (1:1000 dilution) against phospho-p38, phospho-p44/p42, phospho-JNK, cytochrome c, caspase-3, caspase-9, Bcl-2 or Bax proteins. Immuno-reactive proteins were visualized by peroxidase-labeled secondary antibodies and ECL system (Western Lightning Chemiluminescence Reagent, Perkin-Elmer, MA). Equal loading of proteins was confirmed by stripping and re-probing the membranes with β-actin, total p38 MAPK, p44/p42 MAPK or JNK antibodies. Band intensities were quantified using a densitometer and analyzed by Quantity One software (Bio-Rad).

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.
