Zymographic Analysis of Gelatinase Activity

Zymography was performed as previously described [28 (link)]. Briefly, protein samples were equally loaded and separated by a 10 % Tris-glycine gel with 0.1 % gelatin as a substrate. After separation, the gel was washed in distilled water twice for 30 min, re-natured for 1 h with 2.5 % Triton X-100 buffer at room temperature, and incubated for 48 h with developing buffer (0.05 M Tris-HCl, pH 7.5; 0.2 mol/L NaCl; 5 mmol/L CaCl2; 0.05 % Brij-35; and 0.2 mmol/L NaN3) at 37 °C. Following this, the gel was stained with 0.05 % Coomassie R-250 dye (Sigma) for 30 min and appropriately de-stained. Gelatinolytic activity (MMP-9, 92 kDa) was determined as by the appearance of clear bands at the appropriate molecular weights.

Equal amounts of protein from the cerebral vessel samples were loaded and separated on a 10% Tris-glycine gel with 0.1% gelatin as the substrate. Then, the gel was washed and renatured with 2.5% Triton X-100 buffer. After incubation with developing buffer at 37 °C for 24 h, the gel was stained with 0.05% Coomassie R-250 dye (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA) for 30 min and de-stained. The gelatinase standard was mixed with pro-MMP-9 and pro-MMP-2 (Sino Biological Inc., Beijing, China)70 (link). Pro-MMP-9 activity was evaluated by optical density.

Zymography was performed as previously described [25 (link)]. Briefly, equal amounts of protein were loaded and separated on a 10% Tris-glycine gel with 0.1% gelatin as the substrate. Then, the gel was washed and renatured with 2.5% Triton X-100 buffer. After incubation with developing buffer at 37 °C for 24 h, the gel was stained with 0.05% Coomassie R-250 dye (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min and destained. Gelatinolytic activity (MMP-9: ~ 97 kDa; MMP-2: ~ 72 kDa) was determined as clear bands at the appropriate molecular weights.

Zymography was performed as previously described 22 (link). Briefly, equal amounts of protein from abdominal aortic samples were loaded and separated on a 10% Tris-glycine gel with 0.1% gelatin as the substrate. Then, the gel was washed and renatured with 2.5% Triton X-100 buffer. After incubation with developing buffer at 37 °C for 24 h, the gel was stained with 0.05% Coomassie R-250 dye (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA) for 30 min and destained. MMP2 and MMP9 activity levels were evaluated by measuring the optical density.

Gelatin Zymography for MMP-9 Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Zymography was performed as previously described [72 (link)]. Briefly, protein samples were prepared similar to Western blot but without boiling. Samples were equally loaded and separated by 10% triglycine gel with 0.1% gelatin as the substrate. After separation, the gel was washed in distilled water, re-natured for 1 h with 2.5% Triton X-100 buffer at room temperature, and incubated for 48 h with developing buffer (0.05 M Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 0.2 mol/L NaCl, 5 mmol/L CaCl2, 0.05% Brij-35, 0.2 mmol/L NaN3) at 37°C. Then, the gel was stained with 0.05% Coomassie R-250 dye (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min and appropriately de-stained. Gelatinolytic activity (MMP-9, 97 kDa) was determined as showing clear bands at the appropriate molecular weights.

Gelatin Zymography for MMP-9 Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Zymography was performed as previously described [23] (link). Briefly, equal amounts of protein were separated on a 10% Tris-glycine gel copolymerized with 0.1% gelatin as substrate. After separation, the gel was washed twice in distilled water (30 min each wash) and then, proteins within the gel were renatured by incubation with 2.5% Triton-X-100 buffer for 1 h at room temperature. After incubating with developing buffer (0.05 M Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 0.2 M NaCl, 5 mM CaCl2, 0.05% Brij-35, and 0.2 mM NaN3) at 37°C for 24 h, the gel was stained with 0.05% Coomassie R-250 dye (Sigma) for 30 min followed by destaining. The recombinant mouse MMP -9 (Abcam plc, Cambridge, UK) was used as a positive control to identify the active form of MMP-9. Gelatinolytic activity (MMP-9: ∼89 kDa) was determined as clear bands at the appropriate molecular weight.

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.
