Caspase 7

Manufactured by Merck Group

Caspase 7 is a lab equipment product manufactured by Merck Group. It is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the process of apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death. Caspase 7 is responsible for the cleavage of various cellular proteins, which leads to the dismantling of the cell and its eventual death.

Cell pellets were lysed in RIPA buffer (150 nM NaCl, 1% (v/v) IGEPAL, 0.5% (w/v) deoxycholic acid, 0.1% (w/v) SDS, 50 mM Tris) supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Protein was quantified using the Pierce BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Lysates were electrophoresed on acrylamide gels of appropriate acrylamide percentage, transferred onto PVDF membranes and immunoblotted using the following antibodies: LIMD1 (in house), β-actin (Sigma #A1978), Total PARP (CST #9532), Cleaved PARP (CST #6704), Caspase 7 (CST #12827), Caspase 9 (CST #9508), Caspase 3 (CST #9668) and Cleaved Caspase 9 (CST #7237), Chk1 (CST #2360). Anti-IgG horseradish peroxidase (Dako) and chemiluminescent detection (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were used to develop immunoblots.

Primary antibodies used were rabbit anti-Annexin A2 (#610068 from BD Biosciences), rabbit anti-GFP (#A11120 from Invitrogen), rabbit anti-Caspase 7 (#12827 from Cell Signaling), rabbit anti-Listeria (#B223021 from BD Biosciences), rabbit anti-Lm antibody (from Dr. Pascale Cossart, Institut Pasteur, France), mouse anti-phosphatidylserine (#18005 from Abcam) and mouse anti-ezrin (#35-7300 from Invitrogen). Rat anti-TIM4 blocking antibody was previously described37 . Alexa Fluor 568 Phalloidin, Annexin V-Alexa Fluor-488 and -647 conjugates and all fluorescent secondary antibodies (AlexaFluor conjugates) were from Invitrogen. DAPI (#D1306 from Invitrogen) was used at 1:2500 dilution to stain the nuclei where indicated. Cytochalasin D (#2502555; 10 μM final) and Latrunculin B (#428020; 10μg/mL final) were from Calbiochem. For transfection of HeLa cells, Xtreme Gene 9 (Roche) transfection reagent was used as per manufacturer’s protocols. LifeAct-mRFP38 was a gift from Dr. Ray Truant (McMaster University, Canada). The following siRNAs were from Sigma: Annexin A1 (#00157996), Annexin A2 (#00246294), Annexin A6 (#00063383), Caspase 7 (#00128361).

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.
