Protein samples (10–60 µg) from ethanol-fed and pair-fed controls were separated using 12% SDS-PAGE at 150 V for 1 hour, then transferred to activated Hybond-PVDF membrane (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK). Membranes were blocked using 5% (w/v) non-fat dry milk in Tris-Buffered Saline-Tween 20 TBS/0.1 % (v/v) Tween (TBS-T) for 1 hour at room temperature. Membranes were incubated with primary antibodies against SOD2 (ab13534), SOD2 acetyl K68 (ab137037), or SOD2 acetyl K122 (ab214675) (Abcam, Cambridge, MA) overnight at 4°C, then washed three times with TBS-T, and incubated with horseradish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibody at room temperature for one hour. Membranes were washed again with TBS-T three times and then Clarity Western ECL Substrate (BioRad) was applied before imaging via Chemidoc® MP (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). 2,2,2-trichloroethanol (Sigma, Saint Louis, MO) stain was used to visualize overall protein load.
Two-dimensional SDS-PAGE was performed using 200 µg of liver whole cell extract and was separated on IPG strips (pH 3–11) (Bio-Rad), then resolved using 10% SDS-PAGE. The proteins were then transferred onto PVDF membrane and probed with anti-SOD2 (ab13534) and SOD2 acetyl-K68 (ab137037) antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, MA) using standard Western blot analysis as described above.

Freshly excised liver tissues were fixed in 10% formalin (Sigma, Saint Louis, MO) overnight. The tissue was then embedded in paraffin, cut and mounted on slides by the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Histology Core. Standard hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was performed. Immunohistochemistry was performed using the ABC citrate antigen retrieval system (Vector labs, Burlingame, CA) and by incubating liver tissue sections with primary antibodies raised against CYP2E1 (AB1252; Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany), SOD2 (ab13534; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), and SOD2 acetyl-K68 (ab137037; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) overnight at 4 °C via a protocol described by Harris et. al. (Harris et al., 2015 (link)). Histologic images were captured on an Olympus BX51 microscope equipped with a 4 megapixel Macrofire digital camera using the PictureFrame Application 2.3 (Optronics). All images were cropped and assembled using Photoshop CS2 (Adobe Systems, Inc.). Images were then imported into Slidebook (3I, Denver CO) for quantification, which was performed on 5 images per animal, 3–4 animals per group.

For each specimen, four thoraxes were dissected and homogenized by dounce tissue grinder in RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitor (cOmpleteTM, Roche). Cellular debris were removed by centrifugation at 4 °C, 14000× g for 20 min. The supernatants were collected and the protein concentrations were determined by Pierce protein assay (Pierce 660 nm Protein Assay Reagent, ThermoScientific). 0.6 μg/well of proteins were loaded for SDS-PAGE and western-blot analysis.
The primary antibodies and the dilutions were as follows: mouse anti-ATP5A (50000x, abcam ab14748), mouse anti-Cytochrome C (10000x, abcam ab13575), mouse anti-PDHA1 (1000x, abcam ab110334), rabbit anti-SOD2 (10000x, abcam ab13534) and rabbit anti-alpha Tubulin (10000x, abcam ab18251). The secondary antibodies and the dilutions were as follows: anti-mouse IgG-HRP (2000x, Invitrogen 62–6520), or anti-rabbit IgG-HRP (5000x, abcam ab97051). The signals were developed by chemiluminescent HRP substrate (ImmobilonTM Western, Millipore) and recorded by a digital multispectral imaging system (BioSpectrum, UVP).

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.
