Parkin is a protein that plays a role in regulating the ubiquitin-proteasome system, a cellular process involved in the degradation of damaged or unnecessary proteins. Parkin functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, which attaches ubiquitin molecules to target proteins, marking them for destruction by the proteasome.

After the designated treatments were performed, liver tissues and cell pellets were lysed with RIPA buffer supplemented with protease inhibitors. Total proteins were separated via 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. The membranes were incubated overnight with rabbit antibodies against NLRP3 (Zymed, South San Francisco, CA, USA), cleaved caspase 1, cleaved caspase 3 (BD PharMingen, San Diego, California, USA), IL-1β (R&D Systems, USA), IL-18 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Santa Cruz,California, USA), LC3-I, LC3-II (Sigma, USA), NF-κB, Beclin-1, PINK1, Parkin and β-actin primary antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) at 4°C. Then, the membranes were treated with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Cell Signaling, CA, USA) and developed with a chemiluminescent substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). Densitometry analysis was performed using ImageJ software, and the relative levels of protein in each group were normalized to the loading control.

The renal cortex was homogenized with RIPA Lysis Buffer. After centrifugation, protein concentration was determined by bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay kit. The protein samples were then denatured in boiling water for 10 min. Equal amounts of proteins were resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes.

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.
