GARP Expression in Mouse HSC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HSCs were treated with or without 100U IFN-γ for 48 hr. For negative controls, CD8+ T cells were isolated from WT C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes using a mouse CD8+ T cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec, San Diego, CA), and for positive controls, mouse splenocytes after B cell depletion using a mouse B cell isolation kit (StemCell, Vancouver, Canada) were used. Cell lysates were prepared using NP-40 buffer (Sigma, MI) and total protein concentrations were determined by using a BCA protein concentration assay kit (Pierce, IL) following manufacturer provided protocols. Blotted membrane was incubated with 1 µg/ml of the sheep anti-GARP Ab (R&D, Minneapolis, MN) at 4°C overnight, then incubated with 2 µg /ml of the HRP-conjugated Rabbit anti-sheep IgG (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL) for 30min at room temperature. After washing, ECL western blotting regent (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences, Pittsburg, PA) was applied for the detection. The same membrane was stripped and probed again using an anti-mouse actin antibody to serve as a loading control.

Four young (AG11747, AG11242, AG10046, AG05415) and four aged (AG04064, AG04383, AG04152, AG4057) HFB cell lines that were used for the proliferation assay were plated in 5% DMEM in 6 well plates for 6 hours and then serum deprived overnight with 1% DMEM. The following day cells were exposed to saline or lidocaine with or without TGF-β1. All media were changed to 1% DMEM after 24 hours of exposure and cell lysates were collected after 48 hours. Cells were lysed in NP40 buffer with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Sigma, Saint Louis, MO). Lysates were prepared for electrophoresis as described (29 (link)). Equal amounts of protein were subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE, followed by transfer to nitrocellulose. After incubation with 5% milk, blots were probed with antibodies (1-5μg/ml) against COL III (ABCAM, Cambridge, MA), COL I (ABCAM, Cambridge, MA) and GAPDH (Millipore, Billerica, MA).

Then, 30 μl of Protein A Agarose (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) was added for 12 h at 4 °C with rotation, and the beads were washed three times with lysis buffer before proteins were dissolved in loading buffer. Deacetylation assays were carried out in the presence of 5 μg enzyme and 0.3 μg peptide in 30 μl reaction buffer [30 mM HEPES (Sigma), 0.6 mM MgCl2 (Sangon), 1 mM DTT (Sigma), 1 mM NAD+ (Sigma), 10 mM PMSF (Sigma)]. The deacetylation reaction was incubated for 2 h at 37 °C before the mixture was desalted by passing it through a C18 ZipTip (Millipore). The desalted samples were analyzed using a MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometer (Applied Biosystems, Grand Island, NY, USA). The acetylated peptide used in the assay was TRKDYPAAK (Ac) RVKLDSVR (Glssale, Shanghai, China).

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.
