Pieces of AI and PI of roughly 3 cm length were homogenized on ice in lysis buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 10 mM NaF, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Nonidet P-40, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 1 mM Na3VO4, leupeptin, and trypsin inhibitor 10 μg/mL). Cytosolic protein concentration was spectrophotometrically evaluated by using bovine serum albumin as standard, and 50 μg of proteins were subjected to SDS-PAGE. The blot was performed by transferring proteins from a slab gel to a nitrocellulose membrane using a Bio-Rad Transblot Turbo (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). The filter was then blocked at room temperature with milk buffer (1X PBS with pH 7.4, 5% non-fat dried milk and 1% NaF) for 45 min and probed at 4 °C overnight with anti-nitrotyrosine (Nox-Tyr, 1:1000, Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Western Blot for anti-GAPDH (1:8000, Sigma-Aldrich, Milan, Italy) was performed to ensure equal sample loading. Bands were detected by ChemiDoc Imaging System (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA).

Cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (20 mM Tris pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA, 2 mM EGTA, 0.1% sodium deoxycholate, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS) supplemented with protease inhibitors (Sigma-Aldrich) and phosphatase inhibitors (25 mM sodium fluoride, 10 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 50 mM β-glycerophosphate, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate). Protein concentrations were measured by BCA assay (Pierce), and equal amounts of protein were loaded on a SDS-PAGE gel. After SDS-PAGE, the resulting gels were transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore) by Bio-Rad trans blot turbo (Bio-Rad). Afterwards, the membranes were treated with blocking buffer (5% BSA in TBS (20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl)). The primary antibodies p120 catenin (pS268), GSK3 (pY216), N-Cadherin, and BAX were incubated with the membranes for different sets of experiments overnight in 4° C with shaking, followed by adding the secondary antibodies (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG Antibody, (H+L) HRP conjugate, purchased from Millipore Sigma). Blots were washed three times for 10 m in TBS after primary and secondary antibodies.

Western Blot for C7 Protein Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cell lysate was prepared as follows: 8 × 105 fibroblasts or keratinocytes were plated in a 100 mm dish to achieve 70–80% confluence the following day. At 48 h after infection, cells were lysed with radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer42 (link). Lysate was centrifuged at 13,500 ×g for 5 min at 4 °C, and the supernatant was mixed with a 6x Laemmli loading buffer. Before loading onto the SDS–PAGE gel, the samples were heated for 5 min at 95 °C. For C7 detection, 5–30 μg protein was loaded onto a 6% acrylamide gel. The primary antibodies used were C7 polyclonal rabbit antibody (Sigma prestige Ab, cat. no. HPA042420), GAPDH and β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Resolved proteins were transferred onto nitrocellulose membrane with a BioRad Trans-Blot-Turbo (BioRad), blocked in PBS and 0.1% Tween with 5% milk or 5% BSA according to the requirements of the primary antibody, and incubated overnight with the primary antibody. After incubation with IgG-HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), the membrane was incubated with Pierce ECL western blotting substrate (ThermoFisher Scientific) and exposed to CL-XPosure X-ray film (ThermoFisher Scientific). C7 was quantified by densitometry (ImageJ v1.52), using a known concentration of purified recombinant C7 (donated by Krystal Biotech) for comparison.

Rigosertib (ON 01910.Na) was either purchased from Selleckchem.com or provided by Onconova Therapeutics, Inc. All other drugs were purchased from Selleckchem.com. Note that 2 to 4 × 105 keratinocytes were plated in a 6-well dish. On the following day, the medium was changed with the drug at 1 µmol/L or vehicle control. Medium was left for 48 hours, and cells were lysed with radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer. Lysate was placed in a centrifuge for 5 minutes at 4°C, and the supernatant was mixed with a 6x Laemmli loading buffer. Samples were boiled for 5 minutes at 95°C before being loaded onto SDS-PAGE gels. Primary antibodies used were PLK1 (Cell Signaling Technology, 208G4), CRAF polyclonal (Cell Signaling Technology, 9422S), P-CRAF (Cell Signaling Technology, 9427S), P-AKT (Cell Signaling Technology, 9271), AKT (Cell Signaling Technology, 9272), and GAPDH (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 6C5). Resolved proteins were transferred onto nitrocellulose membrane with a BioRad Trans-Blot-Turbo (Bio-Rad), blocked in TBS-0.1% Tween-20 with 5% milk or 5% BSA according to requirements of the primary antibody, and incubated overnight with the primary antibody. After incubation with IgG-HRP–conjugated secondary antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), membrane was incubated with Pierce ECL Western blotting substrate (Fisher Scientific) and exposed to CL-XPosure X-ray film (Fisher Scientific).

Retinal Müller Glia Activation Assessment

To analyze retinal Müller glia activation, for western blots the isolated retinae were homogenized in 90 μl 0.1% SDS lysis buffer and protein concentration was determined by Direct Detect Spectrometer (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany). Samples were separated in a 4–20% TGX Gel (Bio-Rad Laboratories, München, Germany) and immunoblotted with Bio-Rad Trans-Blot Turbo to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Bio-Rad Laboratories, München, Germany). Non-specific binding was blocked by incubation with 5% non-fat dry milk in TBS, containing 0.1% Tween (Sigma-Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany), followed by overnight incubation at 4 °C with rabbit anti-rat glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (1:400, Santa Cruz, Heidelberg, Germany) or rabbit anti-rat beta Tubulin (1:500, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) antibodies.
For detection, an anti-rabbit IgG HRP antibody (1:3000, Dako Cytomation, Hamburg, Germany) for GFAP and for beta Tubulin were used. Immunoreactive bands were visualized by incubation with chemiluminescence reagent (Perkin Elmer, Boston, MA, USA) and signals were detected with the Fusion SL (VWR, Darmstadt, Germany). Integrated densities were measured with ImageJ software [21 ].

Denatured samples were separated on 4-15% Mini-Protean TGX SDS-PAGE gels (Bio-rad).
Protein was transferred to methanol-activated PVDF membranes (Bio-rad) by wet transfer (1x Pierce Transfer Buffer, 10% methanol) or using high molecular weight transfer conditions for the Bio-rad TransBlot Turbo (Bio-rad). Membranes were blocked in 5% milk/TBS-T and incubated with indicated primary antibodies for 1.5h at room temperature or overnight at 4˚C. Membranes were then washed and incubated with HRP-conjugated anti-mouse/rabbit secondary antibodies (Jackson Labs) for 1h at room temperature. Proteins were detected by ECL (Pierce) or Clarity (Bio-rad) detection reagents and exposure to X-ray film (Pierce).
For analysis of cell cycle, FUCCI reporter ES cells 33 were collected by trypsinization and sorted on a FACS AriaII (BD Biosciences) into mCherry+ (G0/G1) and BFP+ (S/G2/M) cell fractions.
Cells were pelleted and lysed in RIPA buffer and clarified by centrifugation for 10 min, 13,000 g at 4˚C. Lysates from the same number of cells were used for western blotting.

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.
