HDL fraction separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. After blocking with 5 % milk, the membrane was incubated overnight at 4 °C with anti-apoA-I (Santa cruz biotechnology) oranti-Nε-(carboxyethyl)-lysine (CEL) antibody (Cosmo Bio Co., Tokyo, Japan). Then, ECL reagent (GE Healthcare, UK) was used for detection. Films were examined using an HP Scanjet Pro flatbed scanner, and images were analyzed and quantified with Adobe Photoshop CS2 software. Absolute intensity was assessed via multiplying the mean density value by pixel for each band, and relative intensity of apoA-I glycation was calculated as absolute intensity of apoA-I glycation divided by that of apoA-I protein.

Cell lysates were prepared with RIPA buffer supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors. The protein concentration was determined with the Bradford assay. Equal amounts of protein (20 μg) were loaded onto 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gels. The protein was then transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes followed by blocking with 5% nonfat milk. The following primary antibodies were applied with overnight incubation: anti-ApoA-I (1:200 dilution; Santa Cruz), anti-N-Myc (1:200 dilution; Santa Cruz), anti-c-Myc (1:1000 dilution; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), and anti-actin (1:200 dilution; Santa Cruz).

For western blot analysis, an equal volume of the EV fractions were mixed with Laemmli buffer (Bio-Rad Laboratories) and boiled at 95°C for 5 minutes. Samples were then loaded on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred onto PVDF membrane (Bio-Rad Laboratories). The membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat milk dissolved in PBS for 1 h and then probed with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C (primary antibodies: anti-CD9 (1:100, Abcam), anti-Flotillin (1:500, Cell Signaling), anti-Alix (1:100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-Calnexin (1:500, Abcam), anti-GM130 (1:250, BD Biosciences), anti-CD81 (1:100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-CD63 (1:100, BD Pharmingen), anti-APOA1 (1:500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). After 4 washes in PBS containing 0.1% Tween (PBST), membranes were incubated with corresponding HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies: anti-mouse IgG-HRP (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-rabbit IgG-HRP (1:1000, Thermo Fisher Scientific) or anti-rat IgG-HRP (1:1000, Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 1h and washed in PBST.

Cells were lysed and total protein was estimated by using DC™ Protein Assay Kit (Bio‐Rad). Mice plasma was diluted with PBS in a ratio of 1:10 before gel separation. Proteins were resolved in 10% sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Millipore). Membranes were incubated in 5% nonfat dry milk, followed by incubation with a primary and secondary antibody with three alternate wash. Blots were finally incubated with NBT and BCIP in alkaline phosphatase buffer until the bands were visible. The primary antibodies used for the study were anti‐vitronectin (1:1,000) (cat no. 45139; Abcam), anti‐transferrin (1:10,000) (cat no. Ab82411; Abcam), anti‐β‐actin (1:10,000) (cat. no.

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.
