Immunoblot analysis was performed as previously described [73 (link)]. Briefly, the cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer containing 50 mM HEPES, 0.3% NP-40, 75 mM NaCl, 0.1% SDS, 1% sodium deoxycholate, and EDTA-free protease (Thermo Fisher Scientific, cat. no. 88266) and phosphatase inhibitors (Thermo Fisher Scientific, cat. no. 88667) on ice. 35 ug of proteins were resolved using 4%–20% Mini-PROTEAN TGX Precast Protein Gels (Bio-Rad, cat. no. 4561096) and transferred to PVDF membranes (Bio-Rad, cat. no. 1620177). The transferred blot was blocked with 5% BSA for 30 min in TBS containing 0.05% Tween-20 at room temperature for 30 min. Then the membranes were immunoblotted with primary antibody Egr1 (Santa Cruz, cat. no. sc-189; 1:500), phospho-AMPKα (Thr172) (Cell Signaling, cat. no. 2535; 1:1,000), AMPKα 1/2 (total) (Cell Signaling, cat. no. 2532; 1:1,000), AMPKα2 (total) (Cell Signaling, cat. no. 2757; 1:1,000), and β-tubulin (Cell Signaling, cat. no. 2146; 1:1,000) at 4°C overnight.

Renal arterial tissue incubated 30 min with A769662 or vehicle were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen, homogenized and lysed in buffer containing Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) 50 mmol/L, EGTA 1 mmol/L, EDTA 1 mmol/L, Triton X-100 1% vol/vol, sodium orthovanadate 0.1 mmol/L, sodium fluoride 50 mmol/L, sodium pyrophosphate 5 mmol/L, sucrose 0.27 mol/L and protease inhibitor cocktail. The protein concentration was determined by Bradford assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, S.A, Madrid, Spain). Protein lysates (7 μg) were subjected to 6,5% SDS-PAGE, electrotransferred on a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane and probed with the following primary antibodies: pACC Ser79 (1:1000; ref 3661), pAMPKα Thr172 (1:1000; ref 2535), AMPKα1/2 (1:1000; ref 2532) from Cell Signaling Technology (Leiden, The Netherlands); NADPH oxidase 4 (1:500; ref ab154244) from Abcam (Cambridge, UK); β-actin (1:5000; ref. A5316) from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA) [4 ,32 (link)]. The blots were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence and quantified by densitometry with ImageJ free software. Values were expressed in relation to β-actin protein levels.

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.
