Retina samples from OIR and RA control pups were homogenized in modified RIPA buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, 2.5 mM EDTA, 50 mM NaF, 10 mM Na4P2O7, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 1 mM phenyl methyl sulfonyl fluoride, pH 7.4). Samples containing equal amounts of protein were separated by 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose membrane, and reacted for 24 h with monoclonal rat anti-mouse TREM-1 or polyclonal rabbit M-CSF antibodies (Abcam, Cambridge, MA) in 5% milk, followed by incubation with corresponding horseradish peroxidase-linked secondary antibodies (GE Healthcare Bio-Science Corp., Piscataway, NJ). Bands were quantified by densitometry, and the data were analyzed using Image Studio Lite software and normalized to loading control. Equal loading was verified by stripping the membranes and reprobing them with a monoclonal antibody against β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO).

Spinal dorsal horn (L4–5) tissue samples were homogenized in modified radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer [RIPA; 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% deoxycholic acid, 0.5% Triton X-100, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 1 mM sodium o-vanadate, 1× protease inhibitor cocktail tablet (Roche Molecular Biochemicals, Nutley, NJ, USA)]. After centrifugation for 30 minutes at 4°C, the supernatant was used for western blot analysis.
Western blot analysis was performed according to a previous study (Seo et al., 2014). We used the following primary antibodies: a polyclonal rabbit anti-FARSB (1:200; Proteintech, Chicago, IL, USA), a polyclonal rabbit anti-IARS (1:200; Neomics, Seoul, Korea), a polyclonal rabbit anti-MARS (Neomics, 1:200), a polyclonal rabbit anti-TARS (1:200; Gentex, San Antonio, TX, USA) and a monoclonal antibody against β-actin (1:5,000; Sigma). For quantification, images were scanned and analyzed with the LAS image analysis system (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan). Optical density (band intensity) ratios of FARSB, IARS, MARS and TARS to β-actin were calculated.

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.
