Immunoblotting was performed as described previously [5 (link)]. Briefly, LV tissue was homogenized in ice-cold lysis buffer. Crude homogenates were centrifuged for 5 min at 10000 g, and protein concentration of the supernatants was determined by the BCA method (Pierce Chemical Co). Supernatants were added to loading buffer and heat denatured by boiling for 3 min. Protein (25 ug) was electrophoresed in separate lanes on 8% SDS-PAGE. After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes and blocked in a 5% nonfat dried milk solution at room temperature. The blot was incubated with antibodies against collagen I or collagen III (1 : 100 dilution; Beijing Biosynthesis Biotechnology Company, China). A peroxidase-conjugated avidin secondary antibody was applied for visualization (1 : 5000 dilution; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA). The blots were stripped and reprobed with a β-actin antibody (1 : 2000; Beijing Biosynthesis Biotechnology Company, China) to normalize for protein loading. The integrative grayscale pixel area-density was captured with a CCD camera and quantified using Quantity One software.

The cells were washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline and lysed directly in lysis buffer (1 mmol/l PMSF, 1 mmol/l EDTA, 40 mmol/l Tris-HCl, 100 mmol/l NaVO3, 150 mmol/l KCl and 1% Triton X-100) on ice for 15 min. Subsequent to centrifugation (12,000 × g for 20 min at 4°C), the Bradford protein assay kit (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA) was used to measure the protein concentrations of the lysates. Equal amounts of proteins were separated on 10% SDS-PAGE gels and then electrotransferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. The membranes were blocked in 5% skimmed milk-Tris-buffered saline plus Tween-20 solution and incubated with rabbit MMP14 monoclonal antibody (1:1,000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or rabbit polyclonal β-actin antibody (1:1,000; Bioss, Beijing, China). Following incubation with peroxidase-conjugated AffiniPure goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:2,000; ZSGB-BIO, Beijing, China), protein bands were detected with Fujifilm Las-4000 (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan).

SDS buffer (60 mM Tris-HCl with a pH value at 6.8, 10% glycerol, 2% SDS, with 5% 2-mercaptoethanol) was utilized to store the lysate of the cells and tissues. The 4–12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gels were used to separate the cell lysate. Proteins were transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Invitrogen), and the membranes were blocked with Tris-buffered saline plus 0.1% Tween-20 (TTBS) containing 5% skim milk for 2 h. The primary antibodies specific to phospho-ERK, total-ERK, phospho-4E-BP1, phospho-mTOR, total-mTOR, phospho-AMPK, total-AMPK, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) (Asp214) (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA), Bcl-2 (Abgent, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) were immunoblotted. All bands were washed in TBS with Tween-20 (TBST) and immunoblotted with peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse or anti-rabbit secondary antibodies, respectively. The bands were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) Western Blotting kit and exposed to film. The β-actin antibody (BIOSS, Beijing, China) was used as an internal marker for control. All experiments were carried out thrice.

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.
