Cells or exosomes were homogenized by the RIPA lysis buffer containing a cocktail of protease inhibitors (Thermo). The total protein (30 μg) was resolved in SDS-PAGE gels and shifted to the NC membranes, followed by incubation with primary antibodies and subsequent corresponding secondary antibodies. The bands were visualized by incubating with an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagent (Millipore, USA). ELISA kits were ordered from Thermo to detect the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 in BALF under the manufacturer's instructions.

Low-density detergent-insoluble lipid raft fractions were isolated as described previously with modifications (Chung et al., 2005 (link)). Briefly, PAMs were scraped with a rubber policeman into ice-cold PBS and collected by centrifugation at 1000g for 3 min at 4 °C. Then pelleted cells were lysed using 0.3 ml of ice-cold TNE buffer (25 mM Tris [pH 7.5], 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA) containing 1% Triton X-100 (Merck), 1 mM NaF, and a cocktail of protease inhibitors (Thermo) at 4 °C for 30 min with gentle agitation. Then, the cell lysates were centrifuged at 4 °C for 10 min at 3500g to remove nuclei and insoluble materials. The supernatants were collected and mixed with equal volumes of 80% (wt/vol) sucrose in TNE buffer and then placed in the bottoms of ultracentrifuge tubes. A discontinuous sucrose gradient was formed by sequentially overlaying 2.1 ml of 30% and 1.2 ml of 5% sucrose in TNE buffer. These mixtures were centrifuged at 4 °C for 18 h at 250,000g in a SW 55 Ti rotor (Beckman). After centrifugation, lipid rafts could be visible as an opaque band at the boundary between the 5% and 30% sucrose solutions. A total of 11 gradient fractions were collected from the top to bottom and stored at −80 °C until use.

Immunoblotting for SPP1 in Melanocytes

Single sorted melanocytes or cells from mouse whole-back skin were lysed in RIPA buffer (Sigma) containing a cocktail of protease inhibitors (Thermo Fisher). Of each cell lysate, 25 µg was loaded onto a 12% separating Bis-Tris gel. Proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. Membrane was incubated with primary goat anti-mouse SPP1 antibody (1:100; AF808, R&D) or rabbit anti-β-actin antibody (1:1,000; 4967, Cell Signaling) at a concentration of 2.5 μg ml−1. The blot was developed with Enhanced Chemiluminescence Plus Developer (Fisher Scientific).

Western Blot Protein Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blot analysis was carried out by preparing total protein lysates with RIPA lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher) and a cocktail of protease inhibitors (Thermo Fisher). 8% SDS-PAGE, sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to resolve and separate 30 μg of total cellular proteins. Proteins are transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5% skimmed milk. The membranes were then incubated with the appropriate primary and secondary antibodies overnight at 4 °C.

Biological Sample Preparation for Biochemical Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After the end of behavioral studies, the animals were instantly decapitated, and the following biological material was obtained: post-decapitation blood; and the ipsi- and contralateral regions of the brain—the hippocampus (whole structure from each hemisphere) and frontal cortex (FC, +6.1–3.0 mm from bregma). Subsequently, the blood was centrifuged 1500× g at 40 °C for 15 min to obtain serum. The isolated brain regions were homogenized in a Potter homogenizer using a 10-fold excess of a cold standard phosphate–salt buffer containing 0.1% nonidet P-40(Roche) and a cocktail of protease inhibitors (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) with 10 impacts of the pestle at a rotation speed of 1000 rpm. The homogenates were centrifuged at 13,000× g at 40 °C for 30 min to obtain a soluble protein fraction (supernatant), which was aliquoted and stored at −80 °C before biochemical studies. The samples were recoded for the following biochemical assay.

PEX preparations were lysed in RIPA buffer (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) containing a cocktail of protease inhibitors (Thermo, USA). Proteins were denatured in 2 × SDS buffer at 95°C, separated using 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and electrophoretically transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Millipore, Bedford, USA). After blocking with 5% milk powder for 1 h at room temperature, the membranes were incubated with the antibodies as follows: mouse monoclonal anti-TSG101 (1:500, Abcam, UK), mouse monoclonal anti-CD63 (1:1000, Abcam, UK), mouse monoclonal anti-ALIX (1:1000, Abcam, UK), and mouse monoclonal anti-GAPDH (1:2000, Abcam, UK) as the control. The samples were incubated with a secondary goat anti-mouse antibody (1:5000, Pierce, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. The blots were visualized using a GE Amersham Imager 600.

Equal amounts of proteins (25 μg) of different groups were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to 0.45-μm PVDF membranes (Millipore, USA). The membrane was first blocked with 5% BSA for 1 h at room temperature and incubated at 4 °C overnight with primary antibodies: GAPDH (1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), RUNX2(1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA), DSPP (1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and DMP-1 (1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK).

After blocking with 5% non-fat milk in PBS, the membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-STAT1 antibody (Epitomics, Cat. 2251–1) or rabbit anti-phospho-STAT1 (CST, Cat. 7649) overnight at 4 °C. IRDye 800CW goat anti-rabbit IgG (LI-COR, Cat. 926–32,211) was used as secondary antibody to display the signal, and rabbit anti-GAPDH (Epitomics, Cat. 2251–1) antibody was used as an internal standard.

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.
