Western Blot Analysis of Liver and Ileal Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The liver and ileal tissues were homogenized in radioimmunoprecipitation assay (Solarbio, cat. R0020, China) buffer with phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (Cell Signaling Technology, cat. 8553, USA). The concentration of total protein was determined using a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay kit (Tiangen, Beijing, China). Equal quantities of protein extracts were resolved via 6–2% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electrophoretically transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. The membranes were blocked in 5% non-fat milk and subsequently incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies. Then, a secondary horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG antibody (ZSGB-BIO, China) was applied, and images were developed via an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) detection kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA).

After centrifugation at 12,000 × g for 20 min at 4 °C, the protein concentration was measured by the Bradford method, western blotting was done as described previously [9 (link)]. The primary antibodies for TGF-β1, α-SMA, COL1A1, phosphor-SMAD3, SMAD3, phospho-ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) (p-ERK), ERK1/2 and GAPDH were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA).

Cells were lysed in cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology) with 1 mM Phenylmethanesulfonyl Fluoride (Cell Signaling Technology). The protein concentration of each cell lysate was estimated by BCA assay (Pierce Chemical). Cell lysates containing total 20 µg of protein were applied to 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY). After being blocked with Tris buffered saline with 0.2% Tween-20 (TBST) containing 5% BSA or skim milk for 4 hours at room temperature, the membranes were incubated with antibody in appropriate dilution at 4°C. Horseradish peroxidase–conjugated donkey anti–rabbit IgG or sheep anti-mouse IgG (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ) were used as secondary antibodies and incubated with the membranes at a 1/3000 dilution for 1 hour. β-actin was used as a loading control marker for normalization of each lane.

Three days after surgery, rats were sacrificed under isoflurane anesthesia. The hippocampus was harvested and stored at −80°C for further analysis. The hippocampus from one side was homogenized in cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology), mixed with phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (Cell Signaling Technology) and protease inhibitor (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Protein concentration was assayed with Pierce BCA Protein Assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Interleukin IL-6 was measured using a commercially available ELISA kit following the manufacturer’s instructions (R&D Systems).

Murine adipose tissue homogenates were lysed in RIPA buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) containing 1 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (Cell Signaling Technology). Equal amounts of protein were fractionated by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Whatman GmbH, Dassel, Germany). Membranes were blocked in 5% BSA (in TBS/0.1% Tween-20) followed by incubation with antibodies against leptin (abcam), myeloid differentiation primary response protein-88 (MyD88; abcam), p53 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), perilipin (PLIN; Cell Signaling Technology), PIAS1 (Cell Signaling Technology), preadipocyte factor-1 (PREF1; Thermo Fisher Scientific), or suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS1; Novus Biologicals, Centennial, CO, USA). Antibodies against glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; Hy Test Ltd., Turku, Finland) were used to show total protein loading. Protein bands were visualized using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Amersham Biosciences, Chalfont St. Giles, UK) and detected with enhanced chemiluminescence substrate (Pierce Manufacturing, Appleton, WI, USA).

Cells were incubated with vehicle or 4-OHT as described previously. After 24 hours, the cells were lysed using Cell Lysis Buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) supplemented with 1 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (Cell Signaling Technology) and 10 µL Halt protease/phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX). Protein was added to Bolt 4%–12% Bis-Tris Gels and run with Bolt MES SDS running buffer (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Samples were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes using the iBlot system (Invitrogen). Western blots were probed with the primary antibody human anti-GRP30 (1:250; Abcam, Cambridge, MA), human anti-GAPDH (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), mouse anti-GPR30 (1:500; ThermoFisher), or anti β-actin (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology) at 4℃ for 18 hours. IRDye 800CW or 680RD secondary antibodies (Li-Cor Biosciences, Lincoln, NE) were used at a 1:10,000 dilution at room temperature for 1 hour. Membranes were visualized on a Li-Cor Odyssey Imager (Li-Cor Biosciences).

Determining PD-L1 Levels in Keratinocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole cell PD-L1 concentrations were first determined. 1.0 ml of cultured cells (1.0 × 106 viable cells/ml) in high glucose RPMI-1640 with L-glutamine, HEPES (ATCC), 100 units/ml penicillin (Life Technologies), and 100 units/ml streptomycin (Life Technologies) was added to wells of a 12-well culture plate (Corning Inc., Corning, NY). Cell lines suspended in this minimal media have higher computational and experimental correlation rates. The effects of different cell culture media and additives on cell biomarker responses are dramatically reduced.
At 24 hours, the 1.0 ml of RPMI-1640 was removed, the cells were lysed with 1.0 ml cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA) containing 1.0 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (Cell Signaling Technologies), and the lysate was stored at −80°C. PD-L1 concentrations (3 replications) were then determined on MM, SCC, and GE keratinocyte lysates (ELISA, Cusabio Biotech Co., Ltd., Wilmington, DE) using the manufacturers protocol.

The activation of RAC1 was assessed by Active RAC1 Detection Kit (#8815, Cell Signaling Technology) according to the manufacturer's instruction. Briefly, cells were washed with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline and lysed with lysis buffer that was freshly added with 1 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (#8553, Cell Signaling Technology) on ice for 5 min. After centrifugation at 16 000 × g for 15 min at 4 °C, the supernatant was mixed with GST-PAK1-PBD/glutathione resins and incubated at 4 °C for 1 h. Then the resin was washed three times with 1× cell lysis/ binding/wash buffer. The resin-bound GTP-RAC1 was eluted with 2× SDS sample buffer containing 200 mM dithiothreitol followed by western blot analysis with a mouse against human RAC1 mAb (#8631, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology). Total RAC1 in cell lysate was also determined by western blotting.

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.
