Whole-cell protein lysates were prepared from cell line monolayers according to standard protocols [23 (link)]. Protein concentrations were determined with the Bio-Rad Protein Assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Munich, Germany). Proteins were separated by SDS/PAGE as described by Laemmli and colleagues [24 (link)] and transferred to Hybond-P membranes (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, UK). Changes in protein expression and phosphorylation as visualized by chemiluminescence (ECL chemi-luminescent reagent, GE Healthcare) were captured and quantified using a FUJI LAS3000 system with Science Lab 2001 ImageGauge 4.0 software (Fujifilm Medical Systems, Stamford, CT).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein lysates were collected by treating cells with RIPA buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with HALT Proteinase Inhibitor (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and homogenized via pipetting. Total protein concentrations were calculated via BCA assay (Fisher Scientific); then, 6 μg of each sample was loaded onto a 4–20% Mini-PROTEAN® TGXTM Precast Protein Gel (Biorad) and run at 100 V for 1 h. Samples were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane by using the Trans-Blot Turbo System (Biorad), blocked in 5% milk, and then incubated with primary antibody (Supplementary Table 1) overnight at 4°C and with secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature. ECL Chemiluminescent Reagent (GE Healthcare Amersham) was applied to the membrane for 5 min, and then the membrane was exposed on the ChemiDoc Touch Imaging System (Biorad). Each marker was examined in at least 4 independent batches of cells.

Western Blot Analysis of MMP-9 and TIMP-1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples of conditioned media containing 40 µg of total proteins, were mixed with a reducing sample buffer and subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE. Separated proteins were then trans-blotted onto polyvinilidene difluoride (PVDF) transfer membranes. The non-specific protein binding site on membranes was blocked by incubation in a solution containing 5% non-fat dry milk (Biorad, Milan, Italy) in TBS 0.1% Tween 20 (TBS-T) for 1 h, and then incubated overnight at 4 °C with the primary antibodies for human MMP-9 and TIMP-1 diluted in 1% non-fat dry milk in TBS-T. Membranes were then washed in TBS-T, incubated for 1 h with secondary HRP-conjugated antibody diluted in blocking solution, and the immunoreactive bands were detected by inducing a chemiluminescence reaction through the ECL chemiluminescent reagent (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, England). Quantitative analysis of immunoreactive spots was performed by using ImageJ software [36 ].

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.
