Hippocampal Protein Extraction and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the protein extraction kit (Beyotime Biotech Inc.) to extract proteins from hippocampal tissue. The protein was separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Bio Rad laboratory), and then the protein in the gel was transferred to the polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. Seal the membrane with 5% skim milk for 2 h. Then, the membrane was mixed with GPR30 (1:1000, Abcam) and β‐incubate overnight with actin (1:5000, Abcam). Subsequently, incubate at room temperature with corresponding goat anti mouse and goat anti rabbit (1:5000, Abcam) for 2 h. Finally, the Tanon‐5200 chemiluminescence imaging system was used to detect protein bands, and Image software was used to quantify the gray scale of protein bands.

A5316, Sigma-Aldrich), Drebrin (1:2,000, no. 626523, Biorbyt), PJA1 (1:1,000, no. 629950, Biorbyt), Serpina3n (1:2,000, no. AF4709, R&D Systems), CREB (1:1,000, no. 9197, Cell Signaling Technology), p-CREB (1:1,000, no. 9198, Cell Signaling Technology), GPR30 (1:1,000, no. ab39742, Abcam), AACT (1:1,000, no. ab205198, Abcam), and GFAP (1:1,000, no. 3670, Cell Signaling Technology) overnight at 4°C. Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies — including goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP (no. sc-2005, Santa Cruz), goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP (no. sc-2004, Santa Cruz), and donkey anti-goat IgG-HRP (no. sc-2020, Santa Cruz) — and visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) system (Perkin Elmer). Band density was quantified with ImageJ software. The density of each band was normalized to the β-actin band density. The density ratio of the control group was set as 100%, and the density of the other groups is presented as a percentage of that of the control group.

Protein Expression Profiling in Rat PAG

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The segments of PAG were removed rapidly from deeply anesthetized rats, and stored at − 80 °C. The collected tissue samples were homogenized in lysis buffer and centrifuged (4 °C) at 13,000 rpm for 10 min. Protein samples were separated using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE, 10%), and transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. The membranes were incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies against GPR30 (1:500, Abcam), PKA (1:500, R&D Systems), GABAAα4 (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), GABAAβ1 (1:1000, Abcam), and GABAAδ (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). The membranes were washed and incubated with secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature. β-actin was used as a loading control. The immune complexes were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence. Density of specific bands was analyzed using Image-Pro Plus software.

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.
