Cells were lysed in 10 mmol/L trisaminomethane hydrochloride buffer pH 7.4 with
2% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and fresh protease inhibitors. Protein
concentrations were determined by colorimetric assay after extracts sonication
for 20 s (Pierce™ BCA Protein Assay Kit, Thermo Scientific, Waltham,
Massachusetts, USA). The following primary antibodies were used to perform
western blotting: Bcl2L10 (#3869, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA),
p44/42 [extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, #9102,
Cell Signaling], phosphorylated p44/42 (ERK1/2, #9106 L, Cell
Signaling) and MMP2 (H-76, sc-10736, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA).
β-actin (#A1978, Sigma-Aldrich) and heat shock protein
(HSP)72/73 (#HSP01, Calbiochem, San Diego, CA, USA) were used to check
equivalent transfer and loading. Chemiluminescent method (Pierce, Rockford, IL)
was used to detect immunostained bands. Image Lab™ Software (Bio-Rad,
Hercules, CA, USA) and ChemiDoc System instrument (Bio-Rad), were used to
acquire images, while ImageJ software was used for densitometric evaluation and
normalization with relative controls.
Cultured medium (CM) from M14-B and M14-C cells incubated in serum free medium
(SFM) for 24 h was normalized to the number of adherent cells and assayed for
gelatinase activity using 7.5% SDS gels containing gelatin (0.1 mg/mL)
as previously described [31 (link),
32 (link)].

The cells were harvested, suspended in PBS containing 4 mM EDTA and washed 3 times. Collagen gels were dissolved. The proteins were extracted with Cell lysis buffer 10× (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, USA). Protein content was determined by Bicinchoninic Acid Protein Assay Kit (Sigma-Aldrich). Forty µg of protein were applied on Novex NuPAGE 4-12% Bis-Tris gel (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Prague, Czechia) under nonreducing conditions. The proteins were transferred to 0.2 mm Hybond nitrocellulose membrane (GE Healthcare, München, Germany). Staining with Ponceau S was used as a loading control. The membranes were incubated with antibodies to α-SMA (1A4, Sigma-Aldrich), cellular fibronectin (IST-9, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, USA) or MMP-2 (H-76, Santa Cruz), TIMP-1 (Santa Cruz) at 4 °C overnight. The secondary antibodies were from Santa Cruz. Detection was done with Western Blotting Luminol Reagent (Santa Cruz). The blots were scanned, quantified by program QUANTITY ONE 4.6 (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, California) and normalized to the respective controls.

The cells were scraped from the plastic, suspended in PBS containing 4 mM EDTA and washed 3fold with this solution. Collagen gel was dissolved by Clostridium histolyticum collagenase NB 4G proved grade (Serva, Heidelberg, Germany). The cells were washed 3fold with EDTA-containing PBS. The proteins were extracted with cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling). Protein content was determined with bicinchoninic acid (Sigma). Ten µg protein were applied on Novex NuPAGE 4-12 % Bis-Tris gel (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Prague) under nonreducing conditions. The proteins were transferred to 0.2 µm Hybond nitrocellulose membrane (GE Healthcare, München, Germany). Staining with Ponceau S was used as a loading control. The membranes were incubated with antibodies to α-SMA (1A4, Sigma), cellular fibronectin (IST-9; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heildelberg, Germany) or MMP-2 (H-76, Santa Cruz), TGF-β1 (V, Santa Cruz), Smad2/3 (D7G7, Cell Signaling), Phospho-Smad2 (Ser465/467)/Smad3 (Ser423/425) (D27F4, Cell Signaling) at 4 °C overnight. The secondary antibodies were from Santa Cruz. Detection was done with Western Blotting Luminol Reagent (Santa Cruz). The blots were scanned, quantified by program QUANTITY ONE 4.6 and normalized to the respective controls.

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.
