HK-2 cells were thoroughly lysed using RIPA lysis buffer. Total protein in the lysate was assessed using Bradford assay. Equal amounts of proteins were loaded onto sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel. The separated samples were then transferred onto a PVDF membrane.

Further, the blots were washed and incubated with secondary antibody for 1 h at RT. Finally, the bands were visualized using ECL western blotting substrate (Invitrogen, 32109, USA). Western blot images were quantified by using ImageJ (V1.8.0.112, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD), with the density of each band normalized to that of β-Actin or GAPDH (Additional file 2).

Cells and tissue samples were lysed for protein extraction using RIPA assay. The concentration of each protein sample was determined by a BCA (bicinchoninic acid) kit. Equal amounts (50 mg) of protein were separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, United States). Membranes were blocked using 5% non-fat dry milk with TBST buffer for 1 h, then incubated overnight at 4° C with GPR43 (1:1000, ab131003, Abcam), MFN2 (1:500, ab205236, Abcam), PPARγ (1:1000, ab178860, Abcam), NOX-1 (1:1000, ab121009, Abcam), EBP50 (1:1000, ab3452, Abcam), p47phox (1:1000, ab166930, Abcam), NLRP3 (1:1000, 15101, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, US), Caspase-1 (1:1000, sc-392736, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), IL-1β (1:1000, 12242, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, US), and β-Actin (1:5000, sc-47778, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). After washing, membranes were probed further with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG (1:5000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). After washing with TBST for 15 min, immunoreactive bands were exposed by enhanced chemiluminescence method (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

In mouse serum, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) levels were evaluated by GCLabs (Yongin, Korea) using the Cobas 8000 modular analyzer system (Roche, Germany). Kidney tissues from each experimental group were immersion-fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (pH 7.4) and then embedded in paraffin. Two-micrometer tissue sections were prepared and stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Masson’s trichrome using standard protocols for the determination of histological changes and collagen deposition, respectively. Immunohistochemical analysis of kidney tissues detected the Nox-1 (1:100, ab121009, Abcam) and Nox-4 proteins (1:100, MA5-32090, Invitrogen).

Western blot analysis was performed to analyze the influence of betaine treatment on the MAPK pathway, ROS-related enzymes and osteoclastogenesis-related markers. We used M-PER mammalian protein extraction reagent (Pierce, Rockford, IL, United States) to extract total protein from BMMCs. Twenty micrograms of protein sample per lane was loaded onto (11%) SDS-PAGE gels. When the protein sample reached the bottom of the gel, the power was cut off, electrophoresis was stopped, and the protein bands were transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Bio-Rad, 1620177). The primary antibodies included anti-P38 (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab170099), anti-P-P38 (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab195049), anti-ERK (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab17942), anti-P-ERK (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab201025), anti-JNK (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab179461), anti-P-JNK (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab124956), anti-TRAF6 (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab137452), anti-Nox1 (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab121009), anti-HO1 (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab137749), anti-catalase (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab217793), anti-TRAP (Abcam, 1:5,000, ab52750), anti-MMP9 (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab228402), and anti-Cathepsin K (Abcam, 1:1,000, ab187647), followed by the secondary antibody (Biosharp, 1:5,000, BL003A).

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.
