Nuclear and cytoplasmic protein lysates were isolated from MDA-MB-231 bone cells after 72 hr treatment with GANT58 (0–20 μM) using NE-PER Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction Reagents (Thermo Scientific) supplemented with Halt Protease and Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail (Thermo Scientific). Protein concentrations were quantified using the Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Scientific). Protein samples (20 μg/well) were separated on a 4–20% Mini-PROTEAN TGX polyacrylamide gel (Bio-Rad) by SDS-PAGE prior to being transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad) with the Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System (Bio-Rad). Membranes were then blocked for 1 hr in 1X TBS containing 0.1% Tween-20 and 5% w/v BSA and incubated with the following primary antibodies at 4°C overnight: anti-Gli2 (1:500, Novus Biologicals), anti-TATA binding protein (TBP) (1:1000, Cell Signaling), or anti-Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (1:5000, Cell Signaling). Following incubation with anti-rabbit IgG HRP-linked secondary antibody (Cell Signaling) at room temperature for 1 hr, protein bands were developed by Western Lightning Plus-ECL (Perkin Elmer) and imaged on a ChemiDoc MP Imaging System (Bio-Rad). The intensity of each band was determined by densitometry using ImageJ software.

For Western blot analysis, a 4–20% Mini-PROTEAN TGX polyacrylamide gel (Bio-Rad Laboratories) was used. Each sample was then denatured at 94°C for 3 min before being loaded. Gels were blotted onto TransBlot Turbo polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Bio-Rad Laboratories), and blocked in PBST buffer (137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na2HPO4, 2 mM KH2PO4, and 0.1% Tween 20, pH 7.42) containing 5% nonfat dry milk. The signal was measured by chemoluminescence (ECL plus; GE Healthcare). Western blots were performed using rabbit anti-mouse HERP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), CHOP, BIP, IRE1α (Cell Signaling Technology), goat anti–mouse Igκ (Beckman Coulter), and using goat anti–mouse GAPDH (R&D Systems) Abs for normalization.

Two-fold serial dilutions of isolated phage protein in 1X Laemmli sample buffer were heated at 95°C for 1 h. A 10-fold dilution of the Precision Plus Protein WesternC Standards (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) was diluted in 1X Laemmli sample buffer and heated at 95°C for 10 min. Prepared samples were separated on a 4–20% Mini-PROTEAN TGX polyacrylamide gel (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) at a constant voltage of 100 V for 45 min. Following separation, the gel was fixed for 10 min in a methanol/acetic acid/water (v/v/v 50:10:40) fixing solution. Protein bands were labeled with a Colloidal Blue Staining Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) as described in the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, the fixed gel was incubated in the prepared staining solution (stainer A/stainer B/methanol/water v/v/v/v 20:5:20:55) for 3 h at room temperature with gentle shaking. The staining solution was replaced with distilled water and destained for 11 h at room temperature with gentle shaking. Following destaining, bands were visualized using an EDAS Imaging Station (Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, NY) equipped with a DC290 digital camera and a white light box. Images were captured and analyzed using Molecular Imaging Software (v. 4.0.3; Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, NY).

A431 or HEK293 cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (Sigma-Aldrich, #R0278) with protease inhibitors (Sigma-Aldrich, #P8340). Protein concentrations were measured using the Coomassie Plus Bradford assay kit (Thermo Scientific, #23236).

After transferring, the nitrocellulose membranes were first blotted with 50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl and 0.1% Tween-20 (TBS-T) with 5% nonfat milk for 30 min at room temperature. The membranes were then incubated with either anti-SCN9A monoclonal antibody (1:500 dilution in TBS-T, Millipore, #MABN41) or anti-actin monoclonal antibody (1:5,000 dilution in TBS-T, Millipore, #MAB1501) at 4°C overnight. The membranes were then washed with TBS-T three times, each time for 10 min. Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) secondary antibody (1:10,000 dilution in TBS-T, Thermo Scientific, #31430) at room temperature for 45 min. The membranes were then washed with TBS-T four times, each time for 10 min. The membranes subsequently were incubated with ECL Western blotting substrates (Thermo Scientific, #32106) and then exposed to X-ray films (Sigma-Aldrich, #Z370398).

Relative levels of myosin expression were determined by measuring myosin-to-actin ratios in upper thorax homogenates subjected to one-dimensional SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (O'Donnell et al., 1989 (link)). Six dissected upper thoraces from 2-day-old adult female flies for each line were homogenized in 360 μl of SDS gel 1× Laemmli Sample Buffer (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) containing 5% 2-mercaptoethanol. Samples were boiled for 5 min prior to loading at 2-5 μl on a 15-well 10% Mini-PROTEAN TGX polyacrylamide gel (Bio-Rad). Gels stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 were digitally scanned using an Epson Expression 636 flatbed scanner. Myosin heavy chain and actin levels were determined by UN-SCAN-IT gel software (Silk Scientific) for three separate lanes per sample. The median myosin-to-actin ratio in mutant thoraces was compared with the median ratio found in thoraces from aged-matched flies expressing the PwMhc2 control transgene in the corresponding genetic background.

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.
