Nuclear factor of activated T cell 5 (NFAT5) expression was assessed using the western blot assay, as previously described (21 (link)). Briefly, CTX-TNA2 cells were harvested and lysed in RIPA buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). The mixture supernatants were separated using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis on 10% gels and were then transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. The membranes were incubated overnight with NFAT5 monoclonal antibody (dilution, 1:1000, ab137407, Abcam, San Diego, CA, USA) and GAPDH loading control monoclonal antibody (dilution, 1:10,000, MA5-15738, Ebioscience, San Diego, CA, USA). The bound antibodies were detected using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse/rabbit IgG secondary antibody (dilution, 1:10,000, G-21040/21234, Ebioscience) and visualized using the enhanced chemiluminescent reagent (PerkinElmer Life Sciences, MA, USA).

Cells were seeded and treated as above, except fresh aspirin-containing medium was added 1 h before harvesting, as previously described [20 (link)]. Whole cell lysates were harvested on days 1 and 4 with and without aspirin in Laemmli Buffer (Bio Rad, Hercules, CA) and boiled for 10 min at 100 °C. Lysates were resolved using SDS-PAGE using 4–12 % bis–tris NuPAGE gels in MES running buffer (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY) following the manufacturer’s protocol. The proteins were transferred using Invitrogen Xcell II blotting apparatus to a PVDF membrane (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY). Following transfer, the membranes were blocked in 5 % w/v milk in tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS)-buffered saline supplemented with 0.1 % tween-20 (Sigma, Saint Louis, MO) for 1 h. Membranes were probed with either phosphorylated GSK3β (Ser 9; 9336), total GSK3β (9315), phosphorylated Src family (Tyr 416; 2101), total Src (ab47405, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), ACTB (β-actin) (4967), and TUBB (β-tubulin) (2146) primary antibody followed by incubation with an anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (7074). Protein bands were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescent reagent (Perkin-Elmer, Waltham, MA). All antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Beverly, MA) unless otherwise noted. Densitometry was performed using Image J analysis software (NIH).

To prepare tissue lysates, freshly dissected tissues from mice were placed in ice-cold RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% Sodium Deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.5) and homogenized using a glass homogenizer and centrifuged at 13,200 rpm for 5 min.

Blots were preblocked with 5% non-fat milk diluted in TBST (50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween-20, pH 7.5) for 1 hr and then incubated with primary antibodies. After thorough washing with TBST, membranes were incubated with secondary IgG-HRP antibodies. After extensive wash in TBST, protein bands were visualized with enhanced chemiluminescent reagent (PerkinElmer) and exposed to X-ray films (Carestream) or Mini Chemiluminescent Imager (MiniChemi 610 Plus, Beijing Sage Creation Science Co).

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.
