The HaCaT cells and HDF cells were plated at the same density as described above, and the cell lysates were transferred to a new e-tube using PBS after treating with Hs-WE and hydrangenol for 24 h. Then, the cells were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 3 min. The cell lysates were reacted with cell lysis buffer containing 2 mM EDTA, 150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 20 mM NaF, 2% NP-40, and 50 mM β-glycerol phosphate with 2 µg/mL of pepstatin, leupeptin, and aprotinin. The mixtures were then centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min after the reaction. The supernatants were used for Western blotting and separated by 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The samples were transferred to a PVDF membrane (Merck Millipore) and blocked with a bovine serum albumin (BSA) 3% (w/v) solution. The membrane was incubated overnight with primary antibodies (1:2500 dilution) at 4 °C and was washed for 3 min three times with a TBST solution. Then, it was incubated for 2 h with secondary antibodies at room temperature. The protein bands were detected with enhanced chemiluminescence reagents.

Protein was extracted from cells using a protein lysis buffer (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) immediately after the end of treatment. Total cell protein concentrations were determined using a bicinchoninic acid protein assay kit (Pierce Biotechnology, Inc., Rockford, IL, USA). Equal amounts of protein (10 µg) from the cell lysates were run with 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.). Following electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to polyvinylidene membranes (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), blocked with 5% fat-free milk at room temperature for 1 h, and incubated with the indicated primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Subsequently, the membranes were washed with Tris-buffered 0.2% saline-Tween 20 and incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (1:10,000; cat. no. ZDR-5306; Beijing Zhongshan Golden Bridge Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) for 1 h at room temperature. Immune complexes were detected with enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (EMD Millipore, Boston, MA, USA), and the blots were quantified by densitometric analysis using the Alpha Imager 2200 (Genetic Technologies, Inc., Miami, FL, USA).

Standard protocol was followed to prepare lysates of insulin‐resistant HepG2 cells using sample buffer and PMSF. Fifty micrograms of protein, once quantified by modified Bradford protein assay kit, was separated using a 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Bio‐Rad, Hercules, CA). The polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes were incubated overnight on a shaker at 4°C with primary antibody prepared in 5% skim milk and visualized on X‐ray film after incubating PVDF membranes with secondary antibody for 2 hr at room temperature.

Synaptophysin, a presynaptic marker, and PSD95, a postsynaptic marker, were detected in a crude synaptosome fraction by immunoblotting with the specific antibodies. Using an established protocol,34 (link) crude synaptosomes were isolated from neurons (D30 after plating of MGE) generated from UB068 and UB068_CHRFAM7A lines. Briefly, the cells were collected with accutase, and pelleted by centrifugation (300 × g. 5 min, room temperature). The pellet was resuspended in TE buffer (10 mM TRIS, 1 mM EDTA, pH, 7.5) with protease inhibitors, sonicated, and centrifuged (800 × g, 5 min, 4 °C). After centrifugation, total lysate, the supernatant, was further centrifuged (9200 × g, 20 min, 4 °C). The pellet, a crude synaptosome fraction, was resuspended in an appropriate volume of TE buffer with protease inhibitors. 10 μg of crude synaptosomes were separated on 4–20% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Bio-Rad), transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Bio-Rad), and incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies (listed in Supplementary Table S2). Specific immunoreactive bands were detected using ChemiDoc XRS + Imaging Systems (Bio-Rad). Densitometry analysis was performed using Image Lab 6.0.1 Software. β-actin was used as a loading control.

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.
