Aortic Protein Extraction and Western Blot

The aorta was homogenized in lysis buffer (Cell Signaling technology, Danvers, MA, USA) with PMSF at 4℃, and centrifuged (10,000 × g). After this, the supernatants were centrifuged at 13,000 × g. The protein content of each of the samples was determined using Bradford's method, with bovine serum albumin as a standard. The protein samples (35 µg) were boiled in 5× sample buffer followed by polyacrylamide resolving gel and stacking gel, and then transferred overnight to a nitrocellulose membrane at 15 volts. The membranes were washed, blocked, and incubated with Western blotting to detect NF-κβ, TNF-α, IL-6, Cox-2 (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, State, 1:1000), and eNOS (1:2000) (BD Biosciences, Bedford, MA) for overnight at -4℃. Secondary antibodies were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody for 1hr (1:3000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) at room temperature. The membranes were washed and visualized by autoradiography after development with ECL (Amersham Life Sciences, Arlington Heights, IL, USA). Densitometry was performed with gel documentation (Gel Doc 2000, Quantity One Bio Red, Hercules, CA, USA).

Liver Protein Analysis by Western Blot

For Western blotting, total protein was isolated from 75mg liver tissue by homogenization in RIPA buffer with Complete Protease Inhibitor cocktail (Roche). Proteins were separated from larger fragments by centrifugation at 14000 × g. After determining total protein by the Bradford protein assay, 10% polyacrylamide gels (NuPage, Invitrogen) were equiloaded, electrophoresed at 200 V, electrotransferred to PVDF membranes, and probed with monoclonal antibodies to β-actin, MMP2, MMP7, MMP9, TIMP2, TIMP7, p-Erk1/2, Erk1/2, p-NF-κβ, NF-κβ, MyD88, TRAF6, TRIF, and pPDGFRα (all Cell Signaling) using the manufacturers' recommended concentrations. Blots were developed by ECL (Thermo Scientific). For immunoprecipitation experiments, TLR4 or Dectin-1 was precipitated with protein G-agarose. Immuno-precipitates were re-suspended and heated in loading buffer under reduced condition, and resolved by 10% SDS-PAGE before transfer to PVDF membranes. The presence of the co-immunoprecipitated proteins were determined by Western blotting.

Anti-TNFα, COX2, NFκβ, INFγ, IL-1β, IL-5 and IL-6 antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technologies (San Diego, CA) and used as pro-inflammation markers. Anti-IL-10 and IL-11 antibodies were from Santa Cruz BioTech, (Santa Cruz, CA) and used as anti-inflammatory markers. To measure memory surrogates anti-AKT, p-AKT (Ser473), GSK3β, p-GSK3β (Ser9), Amyloid-β (Aβ−42) (Cell Signaling), TREM2, NGF, TAU and p-TAU (Ser396) were obtained from Abcam (San Diego, CA) while GFAP was from Santa Cruz Biotech. and Iba1 antibody was purchased from Abcam (San Diego, CA). Anti-GAPDH, used for signal normalization, as well as anti-rabbit and anti-mouse HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies were from Cell Signaling. (San Diego, CA).

The cells cultured on glass coverslips were fixed at the indicated time points after the treatments (see supplementary Fig. 1). Fixation was performed with 3.7% formaldehyde in PBS and permeabilization with 0.5% Triton-X-100 (Merck) in PBS, each step for 30 min at 4 °C. After fixation, the samples were blocked with 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA, Sigma) for 30 min at 37 °C and immediately incubated for 1 h at 37 °C with the primary antibodies (E-cadherin, β-catenin (BD Transduction Laboratories), N-cadherin, Vimentin, GSK3β (Abcam), NF-κβ (Cell Signaling) and Snail (Invitrogen)). Then, cells were washed with PBS and incubated with the corresponding secondary antibodies. Nuclear counterstaining was performed with 0.2 μg/ml Höechst-33258 (H-33528) in distilled water, for 5 min at RT. The samples were then washed and mounted with Prolong™ Gold reagent (Life Technologies). Mitotic index was determined by counting cells in division divided by total cells.

For Western blot analysis, cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 1% deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 10 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.2, 5 mM EDTA), containing the appropriate concentration of Phosphatase Cocktail and Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich). Protein concentration was measured by the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Termo Scientific Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). The proteins were electrophoresed and blotted on Immobilon-P PVDF membranes (Millipore Co., MA, USA). Membranes were blocked in PBS-tween 0.1% with 5% non-fat dried milk for 1 h at 25 °C and then incubated with the first antibody overnight at 4 °C (E-cadherin, β-catenin (BD Transduction Laboratories), N-cadherin, Vimentin, GSK3β, GAPDH (Abcam) and NF-κβ (Cell Signaling)). After washing with PBS-tween 0.1%, membranes were subjected to the peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody and developed by chemiluminescence (ECL, Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Little Chalfont, UK) employing the high-definition system ChemiDocTR XRS + (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). The bands corresponding to the different proteins were digitalized employing the Image Lab version 3.0.1 (Bio-Rad Laboratories).

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.
