MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells were lysed in RIPA lysis buffer on ice for 30 min, then centrifuged (12000 g/min; 30 min) at 4°C. A bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay was used to detected protein concentrations. Equal amounts of total protein were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (millipore, USA), and then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C after the membranes were blocked (5% skim milk in PBS with 0.1% Tween 20) for 4 h. The next day, the membranes were imaged with gel imaging equipment (Bio-Rad, USA) after the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies for 2 h. β-actin was used as a loading control. The following antibodies were used: Bcl-2 and Bax (Cell Signaling technology, USA); anti-RIP1, anti-RIP3, and p-RIP3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA); TNF-α (Abcam, USA); Caspase 3 (Enzo, USA); Ppm1b (BETHYL, USA); anti-β-actin (Biosharp, China) All reagents were dissolved according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

A16110 1:3,000, Thermo Fisher Scientific) at room temperature for 1 h. Finally, the membranes were washed again and detected using enhanced chemiluminescence substrate (ECL) (Sigma-Aldrich; EMD Millipore). Quantitative analysis was carried out using QuantiOne imaging software with gel imaging equipment (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA).

The cells were plated in six-well culture dishes (Corning Life Sciences) at a density of 4 × 105 cells/ml/well. Following 24 h of incubation, the cells were washed with 1 Ml PBS/well and were harvested using trypsin. Harvested cells were centrifuged and resuspended in lysis buffer. Following incubation on ice for 30 min, the homogenate was centrifuged at 12 000 r.p.m. for 30 min at 4 °C. Protein concentrations were determined using a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Beijing, China). Subsequently, 40 μg of protein were separated using 10~15% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. The blotted membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk for 2 h and probed with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. The membranes were washed and probed with secondary antibodies for 1 h. The membranes were imaged with gel imaging equipment (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). β-actin was used as the loading control.

After reperfusion for 24 hours, ischemic cortex was collected for total protein extraction (n = 3 each group), according to the manufacturer's instructions for the protein extraction kit (Boster). Equivalent amounts of protein were loaded onto 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis gels for standard electrophoresis.

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.
