Mmp 9 antibody

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United States, Hong Kong, China

The MMP-9 antibody is a laboratory tool used for the detection and quantification of the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) protein. MMP-9 is an enzyme involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix components, which plays a role in various physiological and pathological processes. The antibody can be used in techniques such as Western blotting, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry to measure MMP-9 levels in biological samples.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of MMP-9 in Liver Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunohistochemistry, liver sections (4 μm) were deparaffinized and then boiled to unmask antigen sites; the endogenous activity of peroxidase was quenched with 0.03% H2O2 in absolute methanol. Liver sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with a 1 : 200 dilution of goat polyclonal MMP-9 antibodies (Santa Cruz CA, USA) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). After removal of the unbound primary antibodies by rinsing with PBS, slides were incubated with a 1 : 500 dilution of biotinylated anti-goat secondary antibody. Bound antibodies were detected with avidin biotinylated peroxidase complex ABC-kit Vectastain and the chromogen 3,3′ diaminobenzidine tetrachloride (DAB) is used as substrate. After appropriate washing in PBS, slides were counterstained with hematoxylin. All sections were incubated under the same conditions with the same concentration of antibodies and at the same time; so the immunostaining was comparable among the different experimental groups.

Cells were lysed in cold radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and the protein concentration was determined using a bicinchoninic acid protein assay kit (Pierce; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Proteins (30 µg) were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and then transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) The PVDF membrane was blocked with 5% non-fat milk in PBS containing 0.1% Tween-20 (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) at room temperature for 3 h. Subsequently, the PVDF membrane was incubated with TIMP2 antibody (cat. no. sc-21735; 1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), MMP2 antibody (cat. no. sc-13594; 1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), MMP9 antibody (cat. no. sc-21733; 1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) and GAPDH antibody (cat. no. AF0006; 1:500; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) at room temperature for 3 h. Following washing with PBS for 10 min, the PVDF membrane was incubated with a goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (cat. no. ab64255; 1:1,000; Abcam) at room temperature for 1 h. Following further washing with PBS for 10 min, the protein bands were detected using an Enhanced Chemiluminescence Western Blotting kit (Pierce; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), according to the manufacturer's protocols.

Core histones and MMP-9 proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta 2 (DE3) pLysS cells (Novagen) and purified from inclusion bodies as described recently [20 (link)]. To generate mutant H3 and MMP-9 expression vectors, H3 and MMP-9 cDNAs were mutated by the QuikChange II site-directed mutagenesis kit (Agilent Technologies) before the construction. Further details of plasmid constructions are available upon request. G9a inhibitor BIX01294 is from Santa Cruz Biotech, and EZH1/2 inhibitor UNC1999 and MMP-9 Inhibitor I are from Sigma.

Leukocytes were lysed with lysis buffer containing 25mM Tris/HCl (pH 7.5), 50mM KCl, 2mM MgCl2, 1mM EDTA, 0.5% Triton X-100, 0.5 mM PMSF and Complete protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche). The lysate was pre-cleared with 50 μl of normal rabbit serum (Santa Cruz) and protein A/G agarose beads (Santa Cruz) (20 μL). AMPKα antibody (1:150) (Santa Cruz) or MMP9 antibody (1:50) (Santa Cruz) were added to the cell lysate and incubated with gentle rocking overnight at 4°C. Afterwards, protein A/G agarose beads (20 μL) were added to the lysates, and the samples were incubated with gentle rocking for 3 hours at 4°C. Lysate was spun down and the pellet was washed 5 times with 500 μL of cell lysis buffer. The pellet was resuspended in 20 μL 4× sodium dodecyl sulfate sample buffer and heated to 97°C for 5 minutes. Subsequently, the samples were analyzed by western blotting. The PVDF membrane was blocked with 10% skim milk and incubated overnight with the specified antibodies.
