Protein Expression Quantification in Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blotting was used to measure the protein expression in HK-2 cells or mouse kidney tissue after treatment (Part of the the blots were cut prior to hybridisation with antibodies during blotting). Antibody binding was detected using a western blotting detection kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Captured western blotting bands using an ultrasensitive multifunction imager (AI600RGB; General Electric, Boston, MA, USA). Bands were quantified with ImageJ and normalized to GAPDH expression.

HeLa cells transfected with 0.5 μg of empty vector, CALHM1, or P86L‐CALHM1 and treated or not with 5 μm of a mixture of protofibrils and oligomers of Aβ1–42 for 24 h were lysed with 100 μL of cold lysis buffer containing 1% Nonidet P‐40, 10% glycerol, 137 mm NaCl, 20 mm Tris‐HCl pH 7.5, 1 mg mL−1 leupeptin, 1 mm phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 20 mm NaF, 1 mm Na4P2O7, and 1 mm Na3PO4. Once the amount of protein was quantified using the BCA Protein Assay Kit reagent, electrophoresis was performed by running 30 μg of protein in polyacrylamide gels for 2 h at constant amperage. Proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes for 2 h at 70 mA. Membranes were then blocked for 2 h with Tween 20‐Tris Buffered Saline (TTBS) containing albumin 4% and incubated with anti‐p‐ERK, anti‐total ERK, anti‐P‐CREB, or anti‐total CREB and anti‐β actin for 2 h. After washing several times with TTBS, the corresponding secondary antibodies were added for 45 min. Finally, the membranes were revealed using the Western Blotting Detection Kit (Thermo Fisher Science) and analyzed and quantified using Scion‐Image software (Scion Corporation Informer Technologies Inc, Meyer Instruments Inc., Houston, EEUU).

Apoptosis Protein Expression Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We evaluated the expression levels of proteins associated with apoptosis using Western blotting. Several antibodies were used, including rabbit anti-Bax antibody (1:1000, Abcam, Waltham, MA, USA), rabbit anti-Bcl2 antibody (1:1000, Abcam, Waltham, MA, USA), rabbit anti-PARP antibody (1:2000, Abcam, Waltham, MA, USA), and rabbit anti-caspase-3 antibody (1:2000, Abcam, Waltham, MA, USA). As a final step, the protein bands were observed using a Western blotting detection kit (Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA) after being treated with a HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody (1:1000, Abcam, Waltham, MA, USA). In order to determine protein expression levels, an image analyzer was used (ATTO, Tokyo, Japan).

Protein Extraction and Western Blotting in 3T3-L1 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For protein extraction, 3T3-L1 cells were lysed in RIPA buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors and then centrifuged. All processes were carried out in ice conditions. The protein concentration of extracts was measured using PierceTM BCA protein assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Boston, MA, USA). Proteins were separated via sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and then transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Bio-Rad, Herculues, CA, USA). PVDF membranes were blocked with 5% BSA and incubated overnight with primary antibodies (1:1000) against PPARγ, C/EBPα, FABP4, C/EBPβ, cyclin D1, cyclin B1, cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6), CDK2, Akt, p-Akt, SOD1, catalase, phosphor-AKT, AKT, phosphor-ERK1/2, ERK1/2, phosphor-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), p38 MAPK, and β-actin (Cell Signaling Technology; Danvers, MA, USA). After washing in TBS with Tween 20, the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies (1:2000 dilution). The band signals were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL; Thermo Fisher Scientific) Western blotting detection kit. The reference protein is β-actin, which has no difference in expression levels between preadipocytes and adipocytes (Figure S1).

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.
