Lung tissues were homogenized by a homogenizer and lysed using RIPA buffer containing a protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN). The protein concentration of each group was determined using BCA kits. Protein samples (30 μg) were separated by 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and subsequently transferred onto PVDF membranes, which were blocked by 5% skim milk for 1 hour at room temperature. After rinsing three times, the blots were incubated overnight at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: anti-TLR4 (1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology), anti-NF-κB p65 (1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology), anti-phospho-IκBα (1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology), anti-IκBα (1:1,000; Santa Cruz), and anti-Cit-H3 (1:1000, Abcam). The membranes were washed three times, incubated with horseradish peroxidase–conjugated secondary antibodies (1:3,000; Sigma-Aldrich), and then visualized by an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (ECL plus). We used anti-GAPDH (1:2,000; Cell Signaling Technology), anti-β-actin (1:10,000; Sigma-Aldrich) and anti-Histone-H3 (1:1500; Sigma) as internal controls. To measure the relative ratio of protein expression, band intensities were quantified by Image-Lab software (Bio-Rad).

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.
