Cells lysates were prepared in protein extraction buffers composed of radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Beyotime Biotechnology, Jiangsu, China), 10% phosphatase inhibitor (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) and 1% phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (Beyotime Biotechnology, Jiangsu, China) for 30 min. Proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and then transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Merck Millipore Ltd, Tullareen Carrigtwohill, Co, Cork IRL Rev.) in a Mini Trans-Blot Electrophoretic Transfer System (BIO-RAD, Hercules, CA, USA). After that, the membranes were blocked in 5% non-fat milk for 1 h at room temperature and incubated overnight with primary antibodies at 4°C. The following primary antibodies were used: mTOR (2983, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) and p-mTOR (2971, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), S6K1(14485, Proteintech Group, Inc., IL, USA) and p-S6k1 (ab32525, abcam, USA), and GAPDH (ab-p-r001,Goodhere Biotechnology CO., LTD, Hangzhou, China).

Western blot analysis was conducted as previously described with some modifications [3 (link)]. After washed with PBS solution, rat retinas or cells were lysed in lysis buffer (containing 1 M Tris-HCl at pH 7.5, 1% Triton X-100, 1% Nonidet p-40, 10% SDS, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.5 M EDTA, 10 μg/mL leupeptin, 10 μg/mL aprotinin, and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride). Protein concentrations were determined by the BCA method (Pierce). Protein samples (1.0 g/L, 15 L) were subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE using a Mini-Protean 3 electrophoresis system (Bio-Rad) and electrotransferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes using a Mini TransBlot electrophoretic transfer system (Bio-Rad). The membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk at room temperature for 1 h and then incubated with rabbit antibody against-P2X7R (1 : 1000, Abcam). The blots were washed with TBST and incubated with HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse or anti-rabbit IgG (1 : 4000, Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) for 1 h at room temperature and visualized with enhanced chemifluorescent reagent ECL (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA) and exposed to X-ray film in the dark.

Cells were washed with ice cold PBS and lysed by RIPA buffer (Sigma) containing complete Mini EDTA-free protease inhibitor (Roche Molecular Biochemicals, Indianapolis, IN). Protein concentration in each cell lysate was then measured using Bicinchoninic Acid (BCA) assay kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, USA), following the manufacturer’s procedure. Loading dye and β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma) was added to the samples and heated at 95°C for 10 min, followed by centrifugation at 13,000xg for 10 min. In each lane of SDS-PAGE gel (12%), 25μg of protein sample was loaded, stacked at 60V for 30 min and separated at 110V for 1h. The resolved proteins were then transferred to PVDF membrane (Bio-Rad Laboratories) at 90V and 4°C overnight using a Bio-Rad Mini Trans-Blot Electrophoretic Transfer System. Membranes were blocked for 1h at room temperature with 5% non-fat milk and incubated with different primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. Membranes were washed and incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labelled secondary antibodies for 2h at RT. Immuno-reactive bands were then visualized using Immobilon Western Chemiluminescet HRP Substrate (Cat#WBKLS0100 Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA,USA).

G418-resistant transformants were grown overnight in buffered methanol-complex medium at 30°C and shaking at 280 r/min in 50 mL centrifuge tubes until the absorbance at 600 nm was 2–6. The cells were recovered by centrifugation and resuspended in buffered methanol-complex medium to 1.0 of an absorbance for induction, and grown again at 30°C, 280 r/min in 250 mL glass culture tubes. Fresh methanol was added to a total of 1% to maintain induction every 24 hours. Fusion proteins were measured at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 132 hours post-induction in 1 mL media by centrifugation. After 132 hours, the supernatants were concentrated 25 times by lyophilization. Samples of the supernatants were analyzed by electrophoresis on NEXT GEL™ 10% (Amresco, Solon, OH, USA) followed by Coomassie brilliant blue (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) staining and western blot analysis. Western blot analysis was achieved using a wet blotting method with the MINI-TRANS-BLOT electrophoretic transfer system (Bio-RAD, Hercules, CA, USA), with NEXT GEL™ electrophoretic buffer (Amresco) at 90 V for 2 hours. The protein samples were detected using a mouse anti-c-myc monoclonal antibody (1 μg/mL; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) and goat anti-mouse IgG conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (0.08 μg/mL; Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA, USA). The horseradish peroxidase activity was visualized with DAB.

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.
