Replicate wells of THP-1 derived macrophages (4 x 106 cells/well) were incubated as described with Cdt. The cells were washed and treated with 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5) containing 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% NP-40, 1% sodium deoxycholate and protease and phosphatase inhibitors (ThermoFisher Pierce Protein Biology, Pittsburgh, PA); replicate wells were pooled and protein concentration determined. HMGB1 release into culture supernatants was determined following precipitation of supernatants in 20% TCA. Samples were separated on 12% SDS-PAGE and then transferred to nitrocellulose. The membrane was blocked with BLOTTO and then incubated with anti-pro-IL-1β, anti-caspase-4, anti-Syk, anti-pSyk, anti-GSDMD or anti-GAPDH antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) for 18 hr at 4°C (Shenker et al., 1999 (link)). Membranes were washed, incubated with either goat anti-rabbit IgG or goat-anti-mouse IgG conjugated to horseradish peroxidase. The Western blots were developed using chemiluminescence and analyzed (Licor).

Western Blot Analysis of Inflammasome Activation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells derived from 10 NORM and 10 CKD-HD were lysed in RIPA buffer (1 mM phenylmethylsulphonylfluoride, 5 mM EDTA, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 150 mM sodium chloride, 8 μg/ml leupeptin, 1.5% NonidetP-40, 20 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.4). Aliquots containing 45 μg of proteins from each lysate were subjected to SDS–PAGE on a Criterion Tris-HCl 4–20% precast gels and then transferred onto PVDF membrane (Millipore). Membranes were incubated with primary antibodies as follows: anti-cleaved-Caspase-1 (Cell Signaling), anti-proCaspase-1 (Cell Signaling), anti-cleaved-IL1β (Cell Signaling), anti-pro-IL-1β (Santa Cruz), anti-IL-18 (Santa Cruz), and anti-actin (Santa Cruz). Blots were subsequently incubated with secondary antibodies HRP-labelled (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Santa Cruz, CA). Proteins were detected by Chemiluminescence (Amersham, GE Healthcare). Images were acquired using a scanner EPSON Perfection 2580 Photo (EPSON, Long Beach, CA, USA) and quantified by Image J 1.34 Software (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/). The intensity of bands of interest was normalized to the signal intensity of the corresponding procaspase-1, pro-IL-1β, or pro-IL-18 band present on the same membrane. Actin was used as loading control.

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.
