Frozen kidney tissues were homogenized in RIPA buffer containing cocktail of protein inhibitors (Roche, Indianapolis, IN). The samples were centrifuged at 13,000×g for 10 min and supernatant was recovered for the Western blot analysis as described previously (18 (link)). In brief, protein concentrations were determined using the micro BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL). Protein samples (80 µg/sample) were subjected to separate by reducing 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and then transferred onto PVDF membrane at 4°C overnight (Bio-Rad, Hercules, USA). The membrane was blocked in 3% non-fat milk in Tris-buffered saline, and probed using a primary antibody against Bcl-2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, Texas), or caspase-3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, Texas), or NF-κB p65 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, Texas), or p-IkB-α (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, Texas), and subsequently incubated with a secondary HRP-conjugated antibody (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Bands were detected using Pierce ECL Western Blotting detection reagent (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) and the blots were exposed to X-film. The membrane was stripped and reprobed with β-actin antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, Texas). The bands on the films were quantified by the Quantity One software (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA).

The proteins resolved by electrophoresis were transferred from the gel to nitrocellulose membranes using iBlot Dry Blotting System A (Life-Technologies). Membranes were then blocked with PBS (pH 7.2, containing 0.1% (v/v) Tween 20 and 5% (w/v) non-fat dried milk for 1 h, and washed three times with 0.1% Tween 20-PBS (T-PBS) then washed 3 times with 0.1% Tween 20-PBS (T-PBS). Primary antibodies directed against β-actin (1:500), CD40 (1:500), p-Akt (1:500), CD206 (1:500), TLR4 (1:500), and p-IKBα (1:500) (all from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Heidelberg, Germany), were incubated for 1 h at room temperature on a shaker and then overnight at 4 °C. At the end, membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), diluted 1:10,000, for 60 min at room temperature in the dark on a shaker after three washes with 0.1% Tween 20- PBS (T-PBS). Chemiluminescence was used to visualize the immunoreactive bands (BioRad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). Densitometric analysis was performed on the bands obtained after immunoblotting using ID Image Analysis Software (Kodak Digital Science). The β-actin was used as a housekeeping protein for normalizing protein expression levels. Results are expressed as arbitrary units.

Cells were washed with PBS and then lysed in a lysis buffer containing protease inhibitor (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). The concentration of total protein was assessed using BCA assay (Beyotime, Haimen, China). Equal amounts of protein samples were then separated on SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Whatman, Dassel, Germany). After blocking with 5% skim milk for 1 h, the membranes were probed by primary antibodies against NF-κB, p-NF-κB, p65, p-p65 (Mannheim, Germany), P-IKBα, IKK, IKKα, IKKβ, and P-IKKα/β (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) at 4°C overnight, followed by incubation with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h. After being washed, protein bands were finally visualized with the WEST-ZOL plus Western Blot Detection System.

The real-time PCR method has been described in a previous paper [27 (link)]. The primers are presented in Table 1. The cells or mouse colon tissues were lysed for protein immunoblotting, as described previously [28 (link)]. The membrane was probed with antibodies (1 : 1000 dilution) including PI3K p85, p-PI3K p85, Akt, p-Akt, mTOR, p-mTOR, Bcl-2, Mcl-1, Bax (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), PHLPP1, PML, MPO, p-IKBα, β-actin, cleaved caspase-3, Foxp3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), PP2Aa, PP2Ab, and PP2Ac (Protech, Wuhan, China). The intensity of each band was analyzed using the densitometry feature in the ImageJ software (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/).

The nitrocellulose membranes were incubated with the appropriate horseradish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibody (Bio-Rad), and immunoreactive bands were detected by a Fluorchem Imaging System upon staining with ECL Select Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE Healthcare, Pittsburgh, PA, USA; RPN2235). The Western blots reported are from one experiment out of three separated experiments that gave similar results.

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.
