We used Proteo-JETTM Mammalian Cell Lysis Reagent (Thermo) to lyse cells. Crude lysates were centrifuged at 14,000g for 20 min at 4 °C. Lysate proteins were mixed with loading buffer and denatured by heating at 100 °C for 10 min. Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and transferred to a PVDF membrane (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), blocked with 5% nonfat milk, and then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C on a shaking table. Primary antibodies targeting E-cadherin (1:1000), Vimentin (1:1000), AKT (1:1000), AKT-pS473 (1:1000), AKT-pT308 (1:1000), ERK (1:1000), p-ERK (1:1000) (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), α-SMA (1:1000), TBK1 (1:1000) (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), and GAPDH (Beyotime, China) were used. Then, the blots were incubated with the secondary antibody, HRP-conjugated IgG (Beyotime, dilution 1:5000), for 1 h at room temperature. Specific bands for each protein were detected with an Image Quant LAS4000 imager (GE Healthcare Life Science, Pittsburgh, PA) using Amersham ECL (Millipore). Densitometric analysis of expression was performed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD). The expression of each molecule was normalized to GAPDH expression.

The pelleted cells were lyzed in 100 µL of TUS buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 8 M urea, 2% (w/v) SDS), mixed with 50 µL of Laemmli buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 6.8), 2% (w/v) SDS, 10% glycerol (v/v), 0.1% (w/v) bromophenol blue, 1% (v/v) β-mercaptoethanol) and heated at 100 °C for 5 min. Whole bacterial cell lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Pall Corporation, Pensacola, FL). The membrane was blocked with 5% BSA in PBS for 2 h at RT and incubated with a mouse mAb specific to the S1 subunit of PT (diluted 1:500) or with mouse anti-FHA F1 mAb (diluted 1:100) for 1 h at RT. After washing with PBS, the membrane was incubated with HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG antibody (diluted 1:5000) for 1 h at RT and washed with PBS. Blots were developed using SuperSignal West Femto maximum sensitivity substrate (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA) and the chemiluminescent signal was recorded using an ImageQuant LAS 4000 Imager (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences AB, Uppsala, Sweden).

To detect overexpressed transcription factors and secreted cytokines in AF-MSCs, 3 × 105 cells were plated on 100 mm plates and cultured in proliferation media for 48 h. In the case of tissue samples for specific hair regrowth markers, the obtained tissues were ground using a homogenizer. Total protein was extracted with RIPA buffer, and the mixture was centrifuged at 12,000 × g for 30 min at 4 °C. For normalization of relative expression, protein concentrations were measured using the Bradford Assay Kit (Bio-Rad). Extracted proteins were separated on precast 4–12% gradient sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Invitrogen) by electrophoresis and then transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA). For immunological reactions, membranes were incubated with the indicated primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight. Primary antibodies are listed in Supplemental Table 2.

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.
