After electrophoresis, the gels were blotted to an Immobilon-P PVDF Membrane (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, US) using Trans-Blot SD Semi-Dry Transfer Cell (Bio-Rad Laboratories) at 200 mA for 80 minutes. After blocking with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) (VWR, Radnor, PA, US), the membranes were probed with 1 μg/mL mAb 9G3 against the glycosylated epitope ‘KEPAPTTT’ in the lubricin mucin domain (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany12 ) or polyclonal anti-CG antibody (Abcam, UK) 1/1000 diluted in assay buffer (1% BSA in PBS-Tween) for detection of endogenous CG in SF, followed by Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (H + L) highly cross-adsorbed secondary antibody (Invitrogen, USA) 1/4000 diluted in assay buffer. For the lectin staining assay, blots were first probed by 1 μg/ml biotinylated Peanut Agglutinin (PNA, Vector laboratories, CA,USA) followed by 0.2 μg/ml HRP-streptavidin (Vector laboratories). After incubations, membranes were stained by WesternBright ECL Spray (Advansta, USA) and visualized in a luminescent image analyser (LAS-4000 mini, Fujifilm, Japan). Band intensities were calculated by ImageJ 1.50i53 (link).

THP-1 monocytes were seeded in a 6-well plate with a cell density of 2,100,000 cells/mL and differentiated into macrophages by adding 200 nM of PMA to the cell culture medium and culturing them for 72 h. After differentiation, cells were exposed to 50% DPBS, 10% (v/v) AGEs, and 3 ng/mL LPS for 24 h. After incubation, cells were lysed with a Triton buffer consisting of 150 mM sodium chloride, 0.1% Triton-X, and 50 mM Tris pH 8, and the protein content was assessed with the BCA Assay (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.
A sample of 10 µg with reducing laemmli buffer was loaded onto a 10% mini protean TGX precast gel (Bio-rad, Hercules, CA, Verenigde Staten) and run in a Bio-rad cell. Protein was transferred to an Immobilon-P PVDF Membrane (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Membranes were analyzed using an Amersham Imager 600 (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA). The primary antibodies used were Glucocorticoid Receptor (D6H2L), Phospho-Glucocorticoid Receptor (Ser211), and β-actin (13E5) from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA) and Anti-phospho-Glucocorticoid receptor Ser226 from Millipore (Temecula, USA).

Wheat shoots were ground in 5 vol of an extraction buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl [pH 7.5], 25% (w/v) sucrose, 5% (v/v) glycerol, 10 mM EDTA, 5 mM KCl, and 1 mM DTT) and the supernatant was recovered from centrifugation at 15,000 g for 15 min. Microsomal fraction was obtained as the pellet of a further centrifugation at 150,000 g for 60 min. After resuspension of the pellet in the extraction buffer, the protein was subjected to SDS-PAGE and then transferred to Immobilon-P PVDF membrane (Merck Millipore). TaBx5 was probed using a polyclonal antibody raised against a TaBx5 fragment as a primary antibody and anti-rabbit IgG HRP conjugate (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) as a secondary antibody followed by detection with ECL Prime Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE Healthcare UK Ltd., Buckinghamshire, UK) as a substrate.

Extracts were prepared by vortexing samples in lysis buffer containing phosphatase and protease inhibitors and following sonication, were centrifuged (14,000g, 10min) to remove debris. Samples were separated on 4–12% gradient NuPAGE Bis-Tris SDS-PAGE gels (Invitrogen/Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA) and proteins were transferred to Immobilon-P PVDF membrane (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA). Immuno-detection was accomplished using specific primary antibodies (1:1000) and assessed by chemiluminescence with anti-mouse HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:5000). For the latter, SuperSignal West Dura Extended Duration Substrate (Thermo Fisher) was used and cross-reactivity visualized using BIOMAX MR Film X-ray film (Carestream Health, Inc., Rochester, NY). Multiple exposure times were employed to ensure that very weak and very strong signals could be observed in all samples.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
16% Tricine–SDS-PAGE was performed as described hitherto (Schägger, 2006). The protein sample was mixed with tricine sample buffer (Bio-Rad) at 1:1, incubated at 95°C for 5 min, and subsequently centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 30 s before loading. Electrophoresis was carried out at constant 120 V for 90 min. For protein visualization, the gel was stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 for 45 min and then destained by using 40% methanol and 10% acetic acid mixture for 2–3 h.
For Western blotting, the resolved proteins were electrotransferred in wet conditions onto a charged Immobilon-P PVDF membrane (Merck, Germany). Non–specific binding of antibodies in the subsequent steps was prevented by membrane blocking with 5% (w/v) skim milk in TBST (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, and 0.1% Tween 20), overnight at 4°C. The washed membrane was probed with mouse anti-histidine monoclonal antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (Bio-Rad, CA, United States) in TBST (1:2,500) and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. The bands were visualized using Pierce™ enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) substrate (Thermo Scientific, MA, United States).

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.
