The TPBC and TNBC sections were hydrated and treated with 1.5% hydrogen peroxide for 1 h at 37°C, followed by treatment in 0.05 M citrate-buffered saline (pH 6.0) at 95°C for antigen retrieval. The TPBC and TNBC sections were then incubated in 5% goat serum (Gibco) for 1 h at 37°C prior to incubation with the primary antibodies (1:200 dilutions) anti-BMAL1, anti-PER1, anti-ASMT (Abcam), anti-CLOCK (Abcam, 1:1000), and anti-serotonin N-acetyltransferase N-terminal (Sigma-Aldrich, 1:200) for 1 h at 37°C and overnight at 4°C. Subsequently, the TPBC and TNBC sections were incubated with the biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Santa Cruze Biotechnology, 1:200) for 1 h at 37°C, followed by incubation with avidin-biotin peroxidase complex (1:200) and dehydration with ethanol. Data are presented as the percentages of positive areas of ASMT, NAT, CLOCK, BMAL1, and PER1 relative to the total area. Six uncontinuous fields were selected from one slide at a magnification of 200×.

Whole-cell protein extracts were prepared by lysing cells in RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitors (cOmplete, Mini, EDTA-free; Roche, Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom). Protein yield was quantified using the Bio-Rad Protein Assay Dye Reagent Concentrate (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom). Equal amounts of protein were separated by SDS-PAGE before wet transfer onto PVDF membrane (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom). Nonspecific binding sites were blocked by overnight incubation with 5% nonfat dry milk in Tris-buffered saline with 1% Tween 20 [130 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris (pH 7.6), and 1% Tween 20]. The following primary antibodies were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, United Kingdom): anti-CLOCK (catalog number ab3517, diluted 1:3000); anti-BMAL1 (ab3350, 1:375); anti-CRY1 (ab54649, 1:500); anti-CRY2 (ab38872, 1:2000); anti-PER1 (ab3443, 1:300); anti-PER2 (ab179813, 1:300); and anti-β-actin (ab8226, 1:10,000). Protein complexes were visualized with ECL Plus chemiluminescence (GE Healthcare). The Western blots are collated in Supplemental Fig. 1.

The amount of protein was determined using the BCA protein assay (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA), and the same amounts of proteins were normalized for total protein. The protein samples were boiled in RIPA buffer (20 mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and protease inhibitor cocktail; Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA), separated by SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Non-specific binding was blocked with 5% skim milk in PBS-Tween20, and proteins were probed with anti-EAAC1 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA) at 1:1,000 dilution, anti-PER1 (Abcam) at 1:200, anti-PER2 (Abcam) at 1:1,000, anti-BMAL1 (Abcam) at 1:1,000, anti-CLOCK (Abcam) at 1:1,000 and anti-β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich) at 1:10,000 dilution. After a wash with PBS-Tween20, the horseradish peroxidase-labelled secondary antibodies were probed and detected with the ECL prime HRP detection kit (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ, USA). We performed the quantification of the EAAC1 level using a serial dilution of ZT14 samples as the standard curve.

NK cells from control or chronic shift‐lag mice were transfected with Per1‐siRNA and Per2‐siRNA or negative control siRNA. After 24 hours, the cells were pelleted and lysed in RIPA buffer (Beyotime). Total protein was isolated, and the concentration was estimated using a BCA assay (Beyotime). Equal amounts of protein (50 μg) were separated on 12% SDS‐PAGE gels (Beyotime) and transferred to PVDF membrane (Thermo Fisher). The membranes were blocked with 5% BSA for 2 hours at room temperature and subsequently incubated overnight at 4°C with the following specific antibodies: anti‐Per1 (1:1000, Abcam), anti‐Per2 (1:1000, Abcam), anti‐CLOCK (1:1000, Abcam) and anti‐β‐actin (1:1000, Beyotime). The following day, the membranes were washed and incubated with a secondary antibody (rabbit, 1:1000, Beyotime) for 2 hours at room temperature. Protein bands were visualized using ECL Western blotting substrate on a BioRad ChemiDoc MP system (BioRad, CA).

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.
