Tissues were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen following dissection then thawed and homogenized in lysis buffer using a Polytron homogenizer (T10 basic ULTRA-TURRAX, IKA). Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and blotted onto PVDF membranes (Bio-Rad, Munich, Germany). Membranes were incubated with 1% blocking reagent (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) for 1 h, before incubating with primary antibody (1:1,000) diluted in 0.5% blocking solution overnight at 4 °C. After three washing steps with TBS-T the membranes were incubated with the respective secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature (peroxidase-coupled anti-rabbit A6154, Sigma–Aldrich, 1:2000, anti-mouse A4416, Sigma–Aldrich, 1:10,000). After three washing steps, the signals were visualized using Pierce ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Perbio Science, Bonn, Germany) and exposure to chemiluminescence film (Amersham, Braunschweig, Germany).

Signaling Pathways: Stress and Apoptosis

For the simultaneous detection of 19 signaling molecules that are involved in the regulation of the stress response and apoptosis, the PathScan® Stress and Apoptosis Signaling Antibody Array Kit has been used according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). Briefly, MCF-7 cells were grown until 80% confluence, treated with the selected compounds, and lysed in 1X Cell Lysis Buffer to collect cell lysates. The array-blocking buffer was added to each well for 15 min at room temperature. Then, 30 μg of solubilized proteins were added to wells and incubated for 2 h at room temperature. Subsequently, the Detection Antibody Cocktail supplied with the kit was added and maintained for 1 h at room temperature. The slide was then incubated for 30 min with horseradish peroxidase-linked streptavidin solution at room temperature. Finally, the slide was covered with LumiGLO/Peroxide reagent (supplied with the kit) and exposed to chemiluminescence film (Amersham Biosciences, Little Chalfont, UK) for 2 to 60 sec. The images were then acquired and the signal intensity was measured using the ImageJ software for Microsoft Windows (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Western Blot Analysis of Protein Modifications

Protein extracts were quantified with BCA protein assay (Pierce Cat #23225) or Bradford protein assay (Sigma Cat# B6916). Proteins were reduced with 50 mM DTT, denatured with LDS (lithium dodecyl sulfate), heated, and equivalent amounts of protein were loaded on NuPage 4–12% Bis-Tris gels (Invitrogen) and electrophoresed in 1× MES buffer. Protein gels were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (0.2 μM pore size). Membranes were blocked with 5% milk. Primary antibodies were incubated in 5% BSA overnight at 4 deg C. Secondary antibody incubations were performed in 5% milk at room temperature for 30–45 minutes. Blots were developed with reagents from the Amersham ECL Select Western Blotting kit (Amersham, Cat #RPM2235) and signal was collected with chemiluminescence film (Amersham, Cat #28906834). Sirt5 antibody, Mdh2 antibody, and the antibodies designed to detect acetylated lysine residues were obtained from Cell Signaling Technologies (Sirt5, #8779; Mdh2, #8610; AcK #9441; AcK #9681). The antibody designed to detect succinylated lysine residues was obtained from PTM Biolabs (PTM-401).

Western blot was performed to verify the expression of prime editors in HEK293-T cells with an antibody raised against SpCas9 (mouse anti-CRISPR-Cas9; ab191468; Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom). HEK293-T cells transfected with PEs were lysed as described above. Samples containing 20 μg of whole protein were separated in a 10% SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) at 150 V for 75 min and transferred via semidry blotting onto nitrocellulose at 75 A for 60 min. Blocking (5% milk powder in 1 × PBS) was carried out for 1 h at RT, followed by an incubation with anti-SpCas9 (dilution: 1:1,000 in blocking buffer) overnight at 4°C and an incubation with a secondary horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled anti-mouse IgG (Sigma-Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany) at RT for 90 min. After the addition of the HRP substrate (Amersham Bioscience, Taufkirchen, Germany) the signal was detected for 10 min on a chemiluminescence film (Amersham Bioscience, Taufkirchen, Germany).
Western blot-based verification of the BRET reporter frame correction was carried out as described above, but with a rabbit anti-RLuc antibody (Biomol, Hamburg, Germany) followed by an incubation with the anti-rabbit IgG-HRP (Sigma-Aldrich).

Versican Protein Expression Analysis

Proteins (50 mg) were separated by SDS-PAGE on 3-8% Tris-Acetate gels or 4-12% Bis-Tris gels (NuPAGE1, Invitrogen), and transferred to PVDF membranes (Amersham Biosciences). Membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat milk and incubated with rabbit anti-human versican antibody (0.2 mg/ml, A4476, Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO) at 4 °C overnight. Detection was performed with a peroxidase conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody and ECL-substrate (ECLTM Western blotting detection system, Amersham Biosciences). Membranes were exposed to chemiluminescence film (Amersham Biosciences), which was scanned into the computer for data analysis. Quantification of immunoreactive bands was performed using ImageJ (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/).

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.
