Proteins were extracted from NIH/3T3 cells and Raw264.7 cells using RIPA lysis buffer and quantified by the BCA protein assay kit. Western blots were performed using the standard sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis method and enhanced chemiluminescence detection reagents (Thermo, WP20005) (Zhou et al., 2019 (link)). Primary antibodies against the following proteins were used: rabbit anti-mouse p-PI3K antibody (Abcam, Cat. ab182651, 1:1000 dilution), rabbit anti-mouse PI3K antibody (Abcam, Cat. ab86714, 1:1000 dilution), rabbit anti-mouse p-Akt antibody (Abcam, Cat. ab222489, 1:1000 dilution), rabbit anti-mouse Akt antibody (Abcam, Cat. ab8805, 1:1000 dilution), rabbit anti-mouse β-actin (Sigma, Cat. A5441, 1:50,000 dilution). As a secondary agent, the horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, 7074, dilution 1: 5,000) was used. Quantitative analyses were performed using ImageJ software, with β-actin as the internal standard.

After transfection, A375 cells and A2058 cells were lysed with RIPA Buffer (89900, ThermoFisher), and total protein lysates were then quantitated by BCA kits (A53227, ThermoFisher). The protein lysates (45 μg) and marker (4 μl; PR1910, Solarbio) were loaded separately and subjected to electrophoresis with 10% SDS‐PAGE gel (P0670, Beyotime). Later, the protein was transferred onto PVDF membranes (P2438, Sigma‐Aldrich) and blocked by 5% skim milk with Tris‐Buffered Saline with 1% Tween 20 (TBST; TA‐125‐TT, ThermoFisher) for 1 h. Afterward, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies for TUBB (#2128, 55 kDa, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), and GAPDH (#4292, 37 kDa, 1:500, Cell Signaling Technology) overnight at 4°C. The membranes were again washed with TBST and added with Goat anti‐Rabbit IgG (A32731, 1:10,000, ThermoFisher). An enhanced chemiluminescence reagent kit (WP20005, ThermoFisher) was used to develop immunoblots, which were later analyzed on an imaging device (iBright CL750, ThermoFisher), and quantified by ImageJ software (1.52s version, National Institutes of Health).

First, we homogenized HK-2 cells and RCC cells in RIPA lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors. Then, we measured the protein concentration of each sample using bicinchoninic acid (BCA) and then separated it using SDS-PAGE.

Cellular protein samples are isolated from tissue and whole-cell lysates and quantified using the Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (23227, Thermo Fisher, USA). Tissue and cell proteins are extracted using RIPA buffer. Twenty micrograms of protein from each sample is loaded onto SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. After blocking with 5% non-fat milk for 1 h, incubation is performed using the following antibodies: mouse anti-GAPDH (ab8245, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), Smad2/3 (ab202445, 1:100, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), LIF (sc-515931, 1:100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Co., Ltd, China). All antibodies are diluted according to the instructions. On the following day, imaging is captured using an enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (WP20005, Thermo Fisher, USA) and a ChemiDoc XRS Plus luminescent image analyzer (Bio-Rad Laboratories, California, Hercules, USA). The Western blot images are quantitatively analyzed for grayscale values of bands from each group using Image J analysis software, with GAPDH as an internal reference. The experiment is repeated three times. All Original western blots images can be found in the Supplementary files.

AAV Transduction Validation via VEGFR3 Serum Protein

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To validate AAV transduction, whole blood was collected from the thoracic cavity prior to cardiac perfusion, followed by coagulation (30 min, room temperature) and serum (supernatant) collection. Serum was purified by centrifugation (two times for 10 min, 2000 g, 4°C) and consecutive collection on ice. Bromophenol blue and 5% β-mercaptoethanol were added to the obtained serum, boiled at 95°C for 5 min and used to detect the soluble VEGFR31–4-Ig or VEGFR34–7-Ig serum proteins by western blotting. Recombinant mouse VEGFR3 chimera protein (R&D Systems, 743-R3-100) was used as quantitative standard. Proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate−polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and blotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. Mouse VEGFR3 domains 1−4 and 4−7 were detected by probing with the polyclonal goat anti-mouse VEGFR3 antibody (R&D Systems, AF743, 1:1000) against the extracellular domain of VEGFR3. Signal detection was done using donkey anti-goat secondary antibodies conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (0.375 µg/mL, Jackson ImmunoResearch) in combination with enhanced chemiluminescence solution (ThermoFisher Scientific, WP20005). Visualization was performed on a ChemiDoc MP imaging system (Biorad).

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.
