Dulbecco’s modified Eagles’ medium (DMEM), penicillin/streptomycin, trypsin/EDTA, fetal bovine serum (FBS), KGM-SFM medium, and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) were from Gibco (Life Technologies, USA). Arecoline, melatonin and MTT were from Sigma (Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Company, St. Louis, MO, USA). ELISA kits for MMP-9 were from PeproTech (PeproTech, Inc., Rocky Hill, NJ, USA). Catalase, SB431542, 5Z-7-Oxozeaenol, PD153035, AG490, U0126, LY294002, and aspirin were purchased from Tocris. Phospho-TAK1 (p-TAK1) antibody was from Abcam (ab79583). Antibodies for TGF-β1, and GAPDH were from Santa Cruz. P-Smad2 antibody was from Cell Signaling Technology. PBL extract and ANE were prepared as before [8 (link), 12 (link), 13 (link), 21 (link)].

The primary antibodies were used as follows: TSP-1 antibody (1:1000, Cell signaling technology, USA), GAP-43 antibody (1:1000, Cell signaling technology, USA), TGF-β1 antibody (1:1000, Cell signaling technology, USA), smad2 antibody (1:1000, Cell signaling technology, USA), p-Smad2 antibody (1:1000, Cell signaling technology, USA), and β-actin antibody (1:5000; Sigma, USA). After several washes with TBS-T, blots were incubated with infrared labeled secondary antibody (Li-COR Biosciences). Immunoblot bands were visualized and analyzed by using Odyssey CLx infrared imaging system (LI-COR® Biosciences, USA).

Quantifying Phosphorylated SMAD2 in Palate

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells containing phosphorylated-SMAD2 were detected in paraffin sections by using Psmad2 antibody (1:20, Cell Signaling Technology, USA) (Fujita et al., 2012) . Slides were first deparaffinized and then rehydrated (see section 3.3.3) . Antigen retrieval was done in a pressure cocker and a blocking solution was applied (see section 3.3.4) . Then primary antibodies were diluted with blocking solution, Psmad2 (1:20, Cell Signaling Technology, USA) and Ecadherin Nine sections obtained from each sample for each secondary palate location (Anterior, Middle and Posterior) were analyzed, and average values were calculated for ten samples in each group. These mean values and the standard deviations were used for one-way ANOVA that compared Psmad2 positive cells in the wild type, K14-SMAD2/ TGF-β3 (+/-) and K14-SMAD2/TGF-β3 (-/-) mice groups.

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.
