The protein concentration in the tissues was determined with the Bradford assay kit (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The total and synaptic (Syn) protein extraction (Syn-PER, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was performed as previously described [19 (link)]. The protein lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE (about 10–12%, sodium dodecyl sulfate, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and transferred to PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) membranes. The membranes were blocked in 5% BSA (bovine serum albumin), then incubated with primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight, next incubated off light at RT (room temperature) in secondary antibodies for 1 h (IRD 800 cw, goat-rabbit or goat-mouse 1:10,000; LI-COR). Then, the fluorescence was detected by Odyssey Sa image system (LI-COR) and the densitometric readings were analyzed by Image J software. All antibodies used are as follows: mouse anti-β-actin (1:50,000, Sigma), mouse anti-tubulin (1:50,000, Sigma, Darmstadt, Germany), mouse anti-Reelin (1:500, Milipore, Burlington, MA, USA), rabbit anti-PSD-95 (postsynaptic density protein) (1:2000, Millipore), and rabbit anti-GluN2B, anti-GluN2A, and anti-phosphorylation-GluN2B,(1:1000, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), respectively.

ZBD-2 was prepared at our laboratory as previously described [13 (link)]. Anti-β-actin antibody was purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). Anti-GluN2A, anti-GluN2B, anti-GluA1, anti-p-GluA1-ser845, anti-5-HT1A and anti-BDNF antibodies were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). Anti-TSPO, anti-GABAA-α2 and anti-GABAA-γ2 antibodies were purchased from Chemicon (Temecula, CA, USA). All secondary antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). The CRH (Corticotropin-releasing hormone), ACTH (Adreno-cortico- tropic-hormone), CORT (Corticosterone) and 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) ELISA kits were purchased from (Cusabio, Wuhan, China). All of the chemicals and reagents used were standard biochemical quality and commercially available.

previously reported (Anzai et al., 2002; Anzai et al., 2004) . GST-pull-down assays were carried out using a GST Protein Interaction Pull-Down Kit (Pierce) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, the bacterial lysate containing the fusion proteins was sonicated and centrifuged, and the supernatant was used for protein binding assays. In vitro translation was facilitated using a plasmid carrying full-length GluN2A, GluN2B or GluN1 (Addgene) that was transfected into HEK293T cells. The translated total proteins obtained from cells and the GST fusion proteins were incubated together with GST glutathione agarose resin. The protein complexes were then eluted by glutathione and analyzed by Western blotting using GST, GFP, GluN2A, GluN2B or GluN1 antibodies.
For co-immunoprecipitation assays, the extracts contained in the crude synaptosomal fraction obtained from adult mouse hippocampal tissues were prepared with anti-GluN2A, anti-GluN2B, anti-GluN1 or anti-FRMPD2 antibodies or IgG (rabbit, Abcam) (Control) at 4°C for 12 h before they were incubated with protein A/G agarose beads (Beyotime). The immunoprecipitated mixture was immunoblotted with GluN2A, GluN2B, GluN1 or FRMPD2 antibodies.

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.
