Total kidney tissue protein was obtained with RIPA buffer as previously described. Protein concentrations were determined with a Bio-Rad protein assay kit (Hercules, CA, USA). For the western blot analysis, aliquots of the lysate containing 30–50 μg protein were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and then electrotransferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Schleicher and Schuell, Keene, NH, USA). The membranes were subjected to immunoblot analysis and the proteins were visualized by an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) method (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK). The cell lysates were separated by 12% SDS-PAGE, transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK), blocked with 5% skimmed milk and hybridized with primary antibodies (diluted 1:1000). The antibodies against NF-κB-p65, IκB-α, TGF-β1, Fas and FasL were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). The blots were then incubated with the horseradish peroxidase—conjugated secondary antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. The blots were washed three times with PBS-T and then developed by enhanced chemiluminescence (Amersham Life Science, Arlington Heights, IL, USA) [12 (link)].

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.
