The protein lysates were resolved using sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Immobilon, Merck-Millipore; Burlington MA, USA, IPVH00010). The blots were blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk in Tris-buffered saline, 0.05% Tween 20 (TBST) buffer at room temperature for 1 h. The membranes were then incubated overnight with antibodies directed against PDE4B (NBP2-01171, Novus Biologicals, Minneapolis, MN, USA), PDE4D (ab171750, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and ß-actin (A5441, Sigma-Aldrich). The appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Dako Products, Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and the LuminataTM Western horseradish peroxidase (HRP) Substrate (Immobilon, Merck-Millipore) were used to detect the bound antibodies. The size of the detected proteins was estimated using protein molecular-mass standards (Hyperpage Prestained Protein Marker; Bioline, Paris, France). ß-actin was used to verify the equal loading of the protein on each lane.

The protein levels of α-SMA, COL1A1, Smad2, p-Smad2, PED7A, PED4A, PKA, p-PKA, total Ras-proximate-1 (Rap1), Guanosine-5′-triphosphate (GTP)-Rap1, and exchange protein directly activated by cAMP 1 (Epac1), cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) and p-CREB were examined by immunoblotting following the methods described before (Liu et al., 2018 (link)) using the antibodies listed below: anti-α-SMA (ab5694, Abcam), anti-COL1A1 (ab34710, Abcam), anti-Smad2 (ab40855, Abcam), anti-p-Smad2 (ab53100, Abcam), anti-PDE4A (ab14607, Abcam), anti-PDE4B (ab170939, Abcam), anti-PDE4C (ab170939, Abcam), anti-PDE4D (ab171750, Abcam), anti-PKA (BS-0520R, Woburn, MA, United States), p-PKA (ab75991, Abcam), anti-GTP-Rap1 (ab32373, Abcam), anti-Rap1 (ab14404, Abcam), anti-Epac1 (ab109415, Abcam), anti-CREB (ab31387, Abcam), anti-p-CREB (ab32096, Abcam), and anti-Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (ab8245, Abcam) and then with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody. Enhanced chemilumescent (ECL) substrates (Millipore, MA, United States) were used for signals visualization using GAPDH as an endogenous protein for normalization.

Rolipram and Nitric Oxide Regulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rolipram was purchased from Medchem Express. Tetrodotoxin (TTX), Nω‐Nitro‐L‐arginine (L‐NNA), Rp‐Adenosine 3′,5′‐cyclic monophosphorothioate triethylammonium salt hydrate (Rp‐cAMPS) were all purchased from Sigma‐Aldrich. Primary antibodies were used as follows: the rabbit anti‐PDE4D(ab171750, Abcam), the rabbit anti‐p‐CREB (ab32096, Abcam), and the rabbit anti‐PKA(ab75991, Abcam), the rabbit anti‐nNOS (4231, Cell signaling), BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime).
The Nitric Oxide Assay kit was bought from Beyotime (S0021S, Beyotime), and cAMP ELISA kit was from Elabscience(E‐EL‐0056c, Elabscience).
TTX, L‐NNA, and Rp‐cAMPS were dissolved in Tyrode's buffer. In contraction recordings of colonic muscle strips in vitro, the dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) concentration was <0.01%, and the rest of the diluent for Rolipram was Tyrode's buffer. In experiments of intraperitoneal administration in rats, the diluent for Rolipram was DMSO (the added concentration of DMSO was 10%), 70% PEG300, 10% Tween‐80, and 10% saline, so the final DMSO concentration was 1%.

Cells were homogenized in lysis buffer containing: 1 mmol/L EGTA, 10 mmol/L HEPES, 150 mmol/L NaCl, 300 mmol/L sucrose, 1% Triton-X, and phosphatase and protease inhibitors (Roche, Welwyn Garden City, UK). Protein concentration was determined using Pierce BCA protein assay kit (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Protein lysates were mixed with 4 × SDS sample buffer containing: 200 mmol/L Tris-HCl, 8% SDS, 40% Glycerol, 0.4% Bromophenol blue, and 40 mmol/L DTT, and boiled at 95 °C for 5 min. Proteins (20 µg of total protein per lane) were size separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. For immunodetection primary GAPDH (5G4, dilution 1:160,000, Bio Trend, Koln, Germany), PDE1C (generous gift from C. Yan, dilution 1:1000), PDE2A (PD2A-101AP, dilution 1:500 Fabgennix, Frisco, TX, USA), PDE3A (generous gift from C.

Rybalkin, dilution 1:100) were used.

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.
