Total protein was extracted from harvested cells using radioimmunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer (R0020; Solarbio; Shanghai, China). Protein samples were subjected to 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane, and then incubated with a specific antibody at 4°C overnight: NMU (24862-1-AP; Proteintech; Rosemont, IL, USA), protein kinase B (AKT; 4685S; Cell Signaling Technology [CST]; Danvers, MA, USA), phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT; 4060S; CST), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK; 4695S; CST), and phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK; 4370S; CST). Then, the PVDF membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies, including goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG[H+L])-HRP (UT2001; UTIBODY; Tianjin, China) at room temperature for 1 h. An antibody against glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as the control (R5174; CST).

Quantification of AKT Phosphorylation in Hippocampal Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mixed primary hippocampal cells were harvested in RIPA buffer containing phosphatase and protease inhibitors. Cells were further lysed using polytron agitation. Protein levels were quantified using a BCA assay and a microplate reader. Western blots were used to quantify differences in protein expression. Samples were run in duplicate within and across gels and were averaged. Proteins were assessed with the following antibodies: AKT #4685S 1:1000 and pAKT #4051S 1:1000 (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA). Blots were developed with chemiluminescence and digitally imaged on a scanner (G-Box; Syngene, Frederick, MD). Gray values were obtained using the ImageJ gel analysis tool (Version 1.46r; Wayne Rasband, National Institute of Health, Rockville, MD). For each blot, mean gray value of pAKT and AKT were normalized to a saline-treated sample, and pAKT was divided by AKT to generate ratios.

Cells were homogenized on ice in radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer supplemented with Halt Protease and Phosphatase Inhibitor cocktail (ThermoFisher Scientific) and centrifuged to remove debris. Protein concentration was determined using the Pierce BCA protein Kit (ThermoFisher Scientific). Western blot analysis was conducted using 50 μg of proteins on ExpressPlus precast gels (Genescript). Proteins were blotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore). The membranes were probed with the indicated antibodies (RB #9313, pRB #3590, cyclin D1 #2978, ciclin D3 #2936, cyclin E1 #20808, pAKT #4060, AKT #4685, Actin #3700, Tubulin #2146, all from Cell Signaling). All the primary antibodies were used at a dilution of 1:1000 in 5% BSA in TBS-T. Signals were detected with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (ThermoFisher Scientific) and the chemiluminescence substrate Luminata Crescendo (EMD Millipore).

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.
