Quantifying MAPK/SAPK Activation and Inflammatory Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (MAPK/SAPK) is determined by the quantity of p38 MAPK/SAPK that is phosphorylated in the pathway. The level of phosphorylation was estimated using an ELISA kit (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). In addition, the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the cell culture supernatants and the total and phosphorylated levels of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and p65 subunit of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) in the nuclear lysates were detected using appropriate ELISA kits.

Cell lines were stimulated with 100 ng/mL recombinant NGF or 2 ng/mL recombinant GM-CSF and incubated at 37°C for 15 minutes before being lysed using HEPES lysis buffer (1% triton) with phosphatases inhibitory cocktail (SER-TRE Cat No. P2850 and TYR Cat No. P2850; Sigma-Aldrich). Some groups were treated with varying concentrations of the TRK inhibitor, entrectinib, for 2 hours prior to NGF addition. SDS-PAGE, PVDF transfer, and Western immunoblot were all performed using standard techniques (BioRad Manual). Staining antibodies for western immunoblotting included total anti-TRKA (Cat No. ab1445; Abcam) and anti-phosphorylated TRKA-Tyr490 (Cat No. ab37837; Abcam), ERK1/2 (Cat No. AF1576; R&D Systems), p-ERK1/2 Tyr202/Tyr204 (Cat No. AF1018; R&D Systems), and b-actin. Protein bands were quantified using ImageJ for statistical analysis [45 (link)].

Western Blot Analysis of Sunitinib Targets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For Western blot analysis, 15 to 20 µg of total cell lysates were diluted in 15 µl of Laemmli buffer, separated on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes by semi-dry blotting. The membranes were blocked with 5% milk powder in 0.02% Tween TBS (TBST) for 1 hour. Based on previous results on key molecules regulated by Sunitinib (Pfizer, investigators brochure, March 2008), membranes were incubated with antibodies against Akt, phospho-Akt (Ser473), STAT3, Phospho-STAT3 (Tyr705) (all from Cell Signaling, Danvers, USA), ERK1/2, phospho-ERK1 (T202/Y204)/ERK2 (T185/Y187) (all from R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA), and β-Actin (Sigma Aldrich, Missouri, USA) or GAPDH (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany) overnight at 4°C. Bound antibodies were visualized with a horseradish peroxidase–linked antibody against mouse or antibody against rabbit immunoglobulin G (R&D Systems, Minneapolise, USA) followed by enhanced chemiluminescence reaction (Roche Applied Science, Basel, Switzerland). Western blots were repeated three times.

Western blotting analyses were performed as previously described [30 (link)]. Protein samples containing 8 μg of total protein were separated via electrophoresis with 4–15% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gels, after which they were transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). After transfer, PVDF membranes were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan) in TBS containing 0.1% Tween-20 at room temperature for 1 h.
Immunoblotting was then performed using primary antibodies against phospho-Akt (p-Akt) (Ser473; 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), Akt (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), phospho-ERK1(T202/Y204)/ERK2(T185/Y187) (p-ERK1/2) (1:2000, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and ERK1/2 (1:2000, R&D Systems). Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody was used to detect immunoreactivity (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway, NJ, USA), which was visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence western blotting detection reagents (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) and RX-U Fuji X-ray film (Fuji Film, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
