MyD88 is a protein that plays a central role in the innate immune response. It acts as an adapter protein, facilitating signal transduction from various Toll-like receptors and the interleukin-1 receptor. MyD88 is essential for the activation of the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways in response to pathogen-associated molecular patterns and inflammatory cytokines.

After 2 and 4 h of incubation of Ti substrates with THP-1-deprived macrophages in the presence of different concentrations of forsythiaside, total proteins were extracted from cultured cells using radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer containing 0.1% phenylmethane sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF). Lysates were centrifuged at 15,000×g for 15 min, and the supernatants were collected. Protein concentration was determined using the BCA assay. Then, each protein lysate was resolved using sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) on 10% gels and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, USA). The membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk in Tris-buffered saline–Tween 20 (TBST) solution for 1 h and then incubated with primary antibodies IKK-α, phosphorylated IKK-α, IκB-α, phosphorylated IκB-α, MyD88, and GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology, USA) diluted in 1% (w/v) skimmed milk powder in TBST overnight at 4 °C. Membranes were washed and incubated with the appropriate secondary antibodies. Antibody reactivity was detected by exposure in the Taton imaging system.

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.
