EMSA probes were synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT). The Gelshift
Chemiluminescent EMSA kit (Active Motif, Carlsbad, CA) was used according to the
manufacturer’s protocols. 3.5 µg of baculovirus recombinant human GR
protein (ab3582) for each condition were incubated with probes (20 fmol) (Supplementary Table 3) for 20 min on
ice. For supershift, anti-GR (ab3578) from Abcam (Cambridge, MA) was incubated for 30 min
after adding probes. The 5% TBE gel was run at 100V for 1 h and then transferred
to nylon membrane. After incubation with streptavidin-HRP conjugate, the membrane was
exposed to film and developed.

Brain slices were double-stained for immunohistochemical evaluation using fate-specific antibodies including CRH/BDNF and GR/MR. Briefly, the brain sections were incubated in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 0.5 h and then blocked with normal bovine serum for 0.5 h. The brain sections were washed three times and incubated with rabbit polyclonal anti-CRH (1:1000, ab8901, Abcam, UK), mouse monoclonal anti-BDNF (1:500, ab108319, Abcam, UK), rabbit polyclonal anti-GR (1/200 dilution; ab3578, Abcam, UK), and mouse monoclonal anti-MR (1/200 dilution; ab2774, Abcam, UK) overnight at 4 °C. The slices were then washed with PBS and incubated with Alexa Fluor 647-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG at room temperature for 2 h. Finally, the samples were counterstained with DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 10 min. Digital images of the whole brain sections were obtained by a MIDI FL (3D Histech, Hungary) system.

Immunoblotting was performed as described previously (Wu et al. 2014) (link). RIPA lysis buffer was used to extract total protein from mice ovaries. In total, 40 μg of protein were separated in 10% Bis-Tris gels and then transferred onto PVDF membranes. The membranes were blocked for 1 h at room temperature (RT) with TBST (50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl and 0.1% (v/v) Tween-20) containing 5% (w/v) nonfat dried milk and then incubated with rabbit antimouse CYP11A1 (1:600, Proteintech Group, Chicago, IL, USA), rabbit antimouse StAR (1:300, Proteintech Group), rabbit anti-glucocorticoid receptor (1:1000, ab3578, Abcam) and mouse antimouse β-actin (1:2000, Zhongshan, Beijing, China ) antibodies overnight at 4°C. Membranes were then washed with TBST and incubated with HRP-labeled secondary antibody (1:10,000) for 1 h at room temperature. Protein bands on the membrane were visualized by an enhanced chemiluminescence system (Applygen Technologies Inc., Beijing, China) on X-ray film.

Protein Expression Profiling in Rat Hippocampus after CCI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The rats (n=16 per group) were sacri ced by decapitation on day 3 after CCI and the right hippocampus was removed at 4°C. Total (n=8 per group) and nuclear protein (n=8 per group) extraction were performed as previously described [25] . Equal amounts of proteins (30 μg) were separated by SDS-PAGE and then transferred onto polyvinylidene uoride membranes. Blots were incubated in 5% nonfat milk or BSA for 2 hr and then reacted overnight at 4°C with primary antibody P-Akt (ser 473, 1:5000; ab81283), P-Ert (1:1000, CST, #9010), P-CREB (ser133, 1:5000; ab32096), P53 (1:1000, ab131442), Bax (1:1000, ab32503), P-Bad (S136, 1:1000, ab28824), cleaved caspase-3 (1:1000, #9664, CST), Bcl-2 (1:1000; ab196495), MR (1:400, ab2774), GR (1/200 dilution; ab3578), β-Actin (1:5000; ab179467, Abcam, UK), and Histone H3 (1:400; Millipore Co.), followed by incubation with secondary antibodies for 2 hr at room temperature. Blots were visualized using chemiluminescence (Bio Spectrum 500 Imaging System; UVP Co., Upland, CA, USA) and ImageJ software determined the intensity of each band. The percent expression compared with that of the sham controls was calculated for each sample.

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.
