Anti total creb

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States

Anti-total-CREB is a primary antibody that recognizes the CREB (cAMP response element-binding protein) protein, regardless of its phosphorylation state. CREB is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including gene expression, cell growth, and survival. The Anti-total-CREB antibody can be used in applications such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry to detect and quantify the CREB protein.

After treatments, cells were washed with ice-cold PBS and lysed in Laemmli sample buffer. Whole-cell lysates were sonicated and heated to 95 °C for 5 min. Samples were resolved by SDS-PAGE and transferred onto 0.45 mm nitrocellulose membranes (Millipore) for immunoblotting. Membranes were blocked in TBS-Tween 20 (0.05%) containing 5% milk at room temperature for 1 h under shaking and probed overnight at 4 °C with the primary antibodies. The following antibodies were used: anti–phospho-ERK1/2 (E-4, sc-7383) from Santa Cruz Biotechnology; anti–total-ERK1/2, (9102, Cell Signaling), anti-phospho CREB (06-519, EMD Millipore), anti-total-CREB (9104, Cell Signaling), anti-phospho AKT (4058, Cell Signaling), anti-total-AKT (2920, Cell Signaling).
Signals were detected by HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies and enhanced chemiluminescence (SuperSignal West Dura, Pierce) using a GBOX Chemi XT4 (Syngene) or by IRDye700DX and IRDye800CW secondary antibodies (Rockland). Phosphorylation of MAPK and CREB was detected with the Odyssey Fc Imaging System (Li-Cor Biosystems). Phosphorylated proteins were relativized to its total protein level and results expressed as the percentage of maximum pERK1/2 after stimulation. Immunoreactive signals were analysed digitally using Fiji software.

OC explants or cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Biosesang, Gyeonggi-do, Korea) for 15 min at room temperature and permeabilized using 0.2% Triton-X 100 in PBS (PBST). After blocking with 1% bovine serum albumin in 1× PBST, samples were incubated with primary antibodies at 4 °C for 24 h. The primary antibodies were anti-phospho-CREB (#9198, Cell Signaling), anti-total-CREB (#9197, Cell Signaling), anti-connexin 43 (#3512, Cell Signaling), and anti-SOX2 (1:500, Cell Signaling; #4900). Samples were washed thoroughly and incubated with secondary antibodies tagged with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) or cyanine 3 (Cy3; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. F-actin was stained using phalloidin–Texas red (Invitrogen, Molecular Probes, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and nuclei were counterstained with 4′6,-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Invitrogen). Coverslips were mounted onto slides with mounting medium (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). The immunostained cells were observed using a Zeiss LSM 700 confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany).

Insulin was quantified in the media and lysate from cells cultured under the relevant conditions for 2 h (ELISA ALPCO, Salem, NH, cat. # 80-INSMSU-E01). Cyclic AMP was quantified by ELISA (Thermo Scientific, cat # EMSCAMPL) in lysates from MIN6 cells cultured for 20 h at low (3 mM) or high (25 mM) glucose, then exposed to high glucose ± exendin-4 (10 nM) for 10 min. Immunoblotting used the following antibodies: anti-phospho-CREB (Cell Signaling Technologies, cat # 4276, diluted 1:1000); anti-total CREB (Cell Signaling Technologies, cat # 4820, diluted 1:1000); anti-PKA-RIα (Cell Signaling Technologies, cat # 5675, diluted 1:1000); anti-PKA RIIα (BD Transduction Laboratories, cat # 612242, diluted 1:1000); anti-PKA-RIIβ (BD Transduction Laboratories, cat # 610625, diluted 1:1000); anti-PKA-Cα (BD Transduction Laboratories, cat # 610980, diluted 1:1000); anti-FLAG (Cell Signaling Technologies, cat # 8146, diluted 1:500); β-catenin (Cell Signaling Technologies, cat # 9562, diluted 1:1000); anti-tubulin (Cell Signaling Technologies, cat #5346, diluted 1:2000).

After deparaffinization and rehydration, antigen retrieval was performed using IHC-Tek Epitope Retrieval Solution (IHC WORLD, Ellicott City, MD, USA) and by boiling (95 °C) the slides in plastic Coplin jars for 20 min. After cooling at room temperature for 30 min, endogenous peroxidase was blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol at room temperature for 10 min. The slides were incubated with 1% bovine serum albumin in PBST for 1 h. Anti-phospho-CREB (#9198, Cell Signaling), anti-total-CREB (#9197, Cell Signaling), anti-phospho-PKA (#9624, Cell Signaling), anti-Cx26 (51-2800, Zymed Laboratories), and anti-sodium potassium ATPase (ab7671, Abcam) antibodies were applied overnight at 4 °C. The slides were washed and incubated with peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. The sections were washed three times with PBST buffer and reacted with 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) using a DAB substrate kit (ab64238). Sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. Images were obtained by bright field microscopy (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Chromogen intensity was quantified as described [53 (link)]. The mean gray values in ROIs were averaged over five independent sections per group (n = 5) and presented as the relative chromogenic intensity compared with the controls.

Protein samples were separated using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). After electrophoresis, the proteins were transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), and blocked with 5% skim milk in PBS containing 0.05% Tween 20 (PBST) for 1 h. The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight. After washing with PBST, the membranes were probed with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (GenDepot, Katy, TX, USA) for 1 h at room temperature.

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.
