MMP-9 gelatinase activity was visualised by zymography. Briefly, SDS polyacrylamide gels (8 %) containing 0.1 % gelatine were overlaid with 4 % stacking gels. Samples of culture media were mixed (10:1 volume) with a sample buffer consisting of 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 2 % SDS, 20 % glycerol, 0.03 % bromophenol blue. After loading the samples, electrophoresis was carried out at 125 V for 2 h. After electrophoresis, the gels were soaked in 2.5 % Triton X-100 on a shaker for 1 h, at room temperature, changing the solution after 30 min, to eliminate SDS. The gels were then equilibrated for 30 min with the digestion buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 5 mM CaCl 2 , 200 mM NaCl) at room temperature with gentle agitation, then replaced with fresh digestion buffer and incubated at 37 °C overnight. The gels were then stained for 1-2 h with 0.5 % Coomassie Brilliant Blue in 30 % methanol and 10 % acetic acid and destained with 30 % methanol and 10 % acetic acid, after which clear bands of digested gelatine were clearly visible. The gels were scanned by Chemi-Doc (Bio-Rad), utilizing the Quantity One program (Bio-Rad). The densitometric values were normalized with basis on cell proliferation.

Highly aggressively proliferating immortalized (HAPI) cells were stimulated using 0.1 % BSA, 100 nM PMA, or 1 μM each α-Syn peptide and then lysed in a hypotonic lysis buffer (1 mM Tris, 1 mM KCl, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, and 0.1 mM DTT) supplemented with 10 mg/ml of the protease inhibitor mixture (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) and 1 mM PMSF (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA). After dounce homogenization (20–25 St, tight pestle A), the cell lysates were centrifuged at 1600×g for 15 min, and the supernatants were further centrifuged at 40,000×g for 2 h. The high-speed centrifugation supernatants, which contain the cytosolic fraction, were then harvested. Meanwhile, the plasma membrane fragments were collected by dissolving the pellets in 1 % nonidet P-40 hypotonic lysis buffer. Proteins in both the high-speed supernatants and the re-suspended pellets were separated by running SDS/PAGE gels and were transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes, followed by immune-blotting using anti-p47phox, anti-p67phox, and anti-gp91phox Abs (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA). The relative amount of each protein was quantified using the Quantity One program (Bio-Rad, Redmond, WA). The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in whole-cell lysates were immunoblotted by an Ab (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA) as a loading control [21 (link)].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For LCM, 5-µm sections of FFPE tumor tissue were cut and stained with H&E for histopathologic assessment and confirmation of diagnosis. Once confirmed, 10-µm sections were cut and placed on Leica Microsystems (Wetzlar, Germany) RNase-free polyethylene naphthalate (PEN)-membrane slides. The resulting FFPE sections were stained with H&E and dehydrated in 100% ethanol (Histogene LCM Staining Kit, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). LCM was performed using a Leica Gravity, contact-free collection system (LMD 6500). Isolated tumor cells were dropped immediately into PicoPure® (Life Technologies) DNA extraction buffer and incubated at 42°C for 30 min. Following incubation, samples were stored at −80°C until the time of DNA isolation. To assess Bap1 allelic loss in LCM-isolated tumor cells from a spontaneous MM, DNA was extracted using an AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE Kit from Qiagen (Valencia, CA). Matching tumor and tail DNA were used as templates to amplify a portion of the mouse Bap1 gene in the region encompassing exons 6 and 7, using PCR with primers previously described for genotyping purposes (16 (link)). The Biorad Quantity One program was used to quantitate the intensity of the larger WT (634 bp) Bap1 allele PCR product and the smaller knockout allele PCR product (158 bp). The ratio of WT to mutant band intensities was then determined for each sample.

Transcription studies of prepared DNA templates were performed with RNA polymerase (RNAP) from Escherichia coli (EcoRNAP) – a holoenzyme complexed RNAP with σ70. The resulted transcripts (RNA) were about 145 nucleobases long. Multiple round in vitro transcription assays were performed essentially as described.29 ,30 (link) The experiments were carried out in total volume 10 μL with 5 ng of DNA template. The reactions proceeded for 10 min at 37 °C after previous preheating of reaction mixture without NTPs. For visualization of prepared RNA product, the transcription was performed in the presence of [α-32P] UTP. The reactions were stopped by the addition of 10 μL of formamide stop solution. The products of transcription were checked by running of 7% polyacrylamide gels. After scanning of exposed gels, the scanned gels were analysed with Quantity One program (BIORAD). For a quantification of relative transcriptions, the transcript signals were normalized to DNA template signals. Signals of transcriptions of modified DNA templates were normalized to the signal of natural DNA (T+ or C+), which was set as 100%. Two–three independent experiments were performed (ESI Section 4.).

Briefly, 30 μg protein was loaded on (10%) SDS-PAGE and separated. After transmembrane, PVDF membranes were stained with primary and secondary antibodies. GAPDH or Histone H3 served as a loading control. The relative intensities of the protein bands were scanned and quantified using Quantity One Program (Bio-Rad).

AMPK total and phosphorylated AMPK levels in nonTg and 3xTg-AD mice brains were evaluated by western blots analysis [31] . Western blots were performed in the mitochondria-free cytosolic fractions obtained as described above and supplemented with phosphatase inhibitors cocktail (Roche). The samples were resolved by electrophoresis in 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gels and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. The blots were subsequently incubated with specific primary antibodies [p-AMPK alpha (T172) Antibody from Cell Signaling catalog #2451 (1:1.000); AMPK alpha Antibody from Cell Signaling catalog #2532] overnight at 4 • C. After quick washes with TBS containing 0.1% Tween (TBS-T), the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies for 2 h at room temperature and again washed with TBS-T. Specific bands of immunoreactive proteins were visualized in a VersaDoc Imaging System (Bio-Rad) after 5-min incubation with enhanced chemifluorescence. The density of protein bands was calculated using the Quantity One Program (Bio-Rad). Results were expressed as the ratio of phosphorylated AMPK to AMPK total.

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.
