Protein isolation was carried out using RIPA buffer supplemented with phosphatase and protease inhibitors (CoWin Biosciences). Proteins were separated via sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and subsequently transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. The PVDF membranes were blocked for 1h using a solution that consisted of 5% nonfat milk diluted in Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween-20 (TBST). Afterward, they were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies for NS3 (GTX125868, GeneTex) or β-actin (20536-1-AP, Proteintech). Following this, the membranes were subjected to three TBST washes before being incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1h. Lastly, protein band visualization was performed using a chemiluminescent HRP substrate (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). Protein band imaging was conducted using the Tanon 5200 system (Tanon Science and Technology, Shanghai, China).

Cells were lysed in lysis buffer containing radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer, phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), sodium orthovanadate (Na3VO4), and a protease inhibitor mixture. Equal quantities of proteins were electrophoretically separated on 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate‒polyacrylamide gels (SDS‒PAGE) and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Pall Corp., USA). The membranes were incubated with 5% skim milk in Tris-buffered saline (TBS) buffer with 0.1% Tween-20 for 1 h at room temperature (RT). Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with the indicated primary antibodies for 2 h and with secondary antibodies conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for 1 h. Immunoreactive bands were developed using enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (LF-QC0103, AbFrontier Inc.). We used primary antibodies against NS3 (GTX125868, GeneTex), phospho-Bcl10 (sc-81,484, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), phospho-NFκB, LC3B, P62 (#3033, #4108, and #5114, Cell Signaling Technology), and β-actin (A5441, Sigma–Aldrich).

Cells were lysed with RIPA lysis buffer (P0013B, Beyotime, China) and 1 mM PMSF (ST506, Beyotime, China). Protein concentration of cell lysate was determined by the BCA method (Pierce, Rockford, USA). Ten micrograms of total protein per sample was loaded onto sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) at 80 V for 3–4 h and transferred to PVDF membrane at 350 mA for 90 min (Version8, Roche, USA) using an electro-blotting method. After incubating in blocking buffer (PBST with 1% (w/v) BSA (A7030, Sigma)) for 1 h, membranes were incubated with rabbit polyclonal antibody for NS3 (GTX125868, Genetex, USA), rabbit polyclonal antibody for SP1 (ab13370, Abcam, USA) at 4 °C for 12 h. After primary antibodies were used, the membranes were washed before Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated Goat anti-rabbit IgG second-antibody (sc-2030, Santa Cruz, USA) was added for 1 h at room temperature and washed again. The membranes were visualized with an ECL Western blot detection kit (NC15080, Thermo). The β-actin (#4970, Cell Signalling Technology, USA) protein level was also examined as an internal control. The chemiluminescence intensity of each protein band was quantified using the Image J software, and then protein levels were normalized by the amount of β-actin protein.

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.
