Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blotting was conducted as described before 28 (link). In brief, RIPA buffer (APPLYGEN, China) containing 1% protease/phosphatase inhibitor was used for protein extraction. Then 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes were used to separate and transfer proteins. Then the membranes were subjected to primary antibodies incubation after blocking with 5% milk. Primary antibodies against ZFP91 were purchased from Abcam and β-actin antibodies were purchased from Proteintech. Followed by an hour incubation with secondary antibodies, the bands were observed by the chemiluminescence reagent (Proteintech).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blotting was performed as previously described49 (link). Briefly, cells were lysed with RIPA buffer containing a protease inhibitor phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) to obtain the protein. Equivalent amounts of denatured proteins were resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using a 10% gel and transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Millipore). The membrane was incubated with a primary antibody followed by a second antibody for the chemiluminescence detection. The specific antibodies in this approach were: the LMP1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) (DAKO Lifetech, Glostrup, Denmark, M0897), anti-p-NF-κB (p65) antibody (CST, Chicago, USA, #3033), anti-NF-κB antibody (rabbit mAb, Millipore, 06-418), anti-CDH6 antibody (mouse mAb, Millipore, MAB2013), anti-RUNX2 rabbit mAb (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, AB23981), the antibodies of EMT makers (anti-E-cadherin, anti-Vimentin, anti-N-cadherin, anti-Slug and anti-Snail antibody, CST, Chicago, USA, #9782), anti-GAPDH antibodies (Proteintech, Chicago, USA, 10494-I-AP) and β-actin antibodies (Proteintech, 66009-I-Ig).

Proteins were extracted from tissues of the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary, and the protein concentrations were determined as described in a previous study (Yue et al., 2019 (link)). Protein concentrations was adjusted to 2 mg/mL. Each sample of 100 µg of protein was separated using 12% sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and then electrotransferred onto apolyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Millipore, Billerica, MA). After blocking with 5% skim milk/tris-buffered saline and Tween-20 (TBST) for 2 h at 25°C, the blots were probed with SST polyclonal antibodies (Enzo Life Scienes, New York, NY), SSTR2 (MyBioSource, San Diego, CA), or β-actinantibodies (Proteintech, Wuhan, China) overnight at 4°C. After washing with TBST thrice, the membranes were exposed to horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Cowin Bio., Taizhou, China) for SST and SSTR2, or goat anti-mouse IgG (Cowin Bio., Taizhou, China) for β-actin for 2 h at 25°C. The protein bands were visualized with a chemiluminescence system (Millipore, Billerica, MA) and were analyzed using image analysis software (ImageJ software, NIH, Bethesda, MD). The results were expressed as the integral optical density (IOD) of the target bands versus the IOD of the β-actin bands, and were tested in triplicate.

Challenged cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) with a protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich, Burlington, MA, USA), sonicated, and then centrifuged at 10,000 × g for 10 min at 4°C. The insoluble debris was removed and the protein concentration in the supernatant measured using a BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China).

After washing, the blots were incubated with species-specific horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibodies and finally visualized with enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagents (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). All Western blots were densitometrically quantified using ImageJ software, and the results were analyzed as the relative immunoreactivity of each protein normalized to the respective loading control.

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.
