The protocol was adapted from Bjedov et al. (2010) (link). Briefly 6 pairs of ovaries were freshly dissected in cell insect media and homogenized in 30 μl of 4x Laemmli loading sample buffer (Invitrogen, #NP0008) containing 10x sample reducing agent (Invitrogen, #NP009). Extracts were cleared by centrifugation and boiled for 10 min at 90°C. 10 μl of protein extract was loaded per lane on polyacrylamide gel (Invitrogen, #NP0335). Proteins were separated and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. Primary antibodies used were as follows: guinea pig anti-dS6K (gift of Aurelius Teleman,1:5,000,) (Hahn et al., 2010 (link)) and rabbit anti-phospho-Thr398-S6K (Cell Signaling Technologies #9209, 1:1,000). HRP- conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson Immunoresearch, AffiniPure anti-rabbit #111-005-144 and anti-guinea pig #106-005-003) were used. Blots were developed using the ECL detection system (PerkinElmer, #NEL105001EA). Western blots were analyzed using ImageJ program (US National Institutes of Health).

The immunoblotting procedure has been previously described (16 (link)). Briefly, aliquots of the protein samples (20 – 40 μg) were separated by electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. After blocking, the membranes were probed with primary antibodies and then with a secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase. The immune complexes were detected by the enhanced chemiluminescence method (PerkinElmer, NEL105001EA). The blots were stripped and re-probed with an anti-actin antibody.
Immunoprecipitation was performed as previously described (16 (link)). Briefly, an aliquot of 200 ug of protein was incubated with the antibody against the target protein overnight at 4 °C. 20 ul of Protein A agarose beads (Cell Signaling Technology, 9863) were added to the lysate, and the mixture was incubated for 3 hours at 4 °C. Immunoprecipitates were collected by centrifugation at 10,000 × g for 10 minutes. The pellets were then re-suspended in 20 ul of 3x SDS sample buffer and analyzed for the expression of specific proteins by immunoblotting.

The cells and tissue samples were homogenized in lysis buffer (50 mM pH 7.5 HCl-Tris, 300 mM NaCl, 0.5% SDS, and 1% Triton X-100) and incubated 15 min at 95°C. Protein concentration of the extracts was measured using the DC protein assay kit (500–0111, Bio-Rad). Equal amounts of total protein extract from healthy and SAD cells were resolved by SDS-PAGE and then transferred to nitrocellulose (G9917809, Amersham, Germany) or PVDF (IPVH00010, Merk Millipore, Cork, Ireland) membranes. Western blot and immunoreactive proteins were developed using an enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (NEL105001EA, Perkin Elmer) following instructions of the supplier. Quantification was performed by densitometry of the obtained bands in each lane with respect to the correspondent housekeeping protein such as GAPDH or β-tubulin band in each experiment (Quantity One software, Bio-Rad).

The harvested cells were lysed in ice for 30 min with lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, 9803). Lysates were cleared by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C. Protein concentrations were measured by the Bradford assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, 500–0006). For Western blot analysis, cell lysates were boiled for 5 min with sample buffer before being resolved in SDS–polyacrylamide gels. The proteins were transferred to PVDF membrane (Millipore, IPVH00010). The membrane was blocked with 5 % skim milk in TBST buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1 % Tween 20) for one hour and then stained with primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight followed by incubation with secondary antibodies (antibodies are listed in Additional file 7: Table S1). The binding of each antibody was detected using an enhanced chemi-luminescence kit (PerkinElmer, NEL105001EA). The signals were detected by X-ray films (Fuji, 47410 08399) or a UV transilluminator (UVP Ltd., BioSpectrum™ 500 Imaging System) and analyzed by the Gel-Pro Analyzer 4.0 software (Media Cybernetics).

Total protein (20 μg) was subjected to 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA). The membrane was blocked with 5% skimmed milk and then incubated with a primary antibody overnight at 4°C. After washing, the membranes were incubated with HRP‐conjugated secondary antibody according to the manufacturer's protocol. The antibodies used in this study were as follows: rabbit anti‐apelin (1:2000, Cat. No. ab59469), rabbit anti‐glyceraldehyde 3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH, 1:3000, Cat. No. ab9485), and goat anti‐rabbit immunoglobulin G (HRP, 1:5000, Cat. No. ab6721; Abcam, Cambridge, UK).

Cells were lysed in 100 μl lysis buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 1% Triton X-100, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 100 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 1 mM β-glycerolphosphate, 10 mM sodium orthovanadate, and 2 mM PMSF) with protease inhibitor cocktail (MDBio, 2043). Sodium pyrophosphate and β-glycerophosphate were used to be the false substrates for phosphatase in general. For immunoblotting, the total protein content was determined using the Bradford assay. Total cell lysates were mixed with 1/4 volume of sample buffer (250 mM Tris-HCl, 500 mM DTT, 10% SDS, 0.1% bromophenol blue, and 50% glycerol) for 5 min at 95 °C and separated by SDS-PAGE. Proteins were transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, IPVH00010). After blocking with 5% nonfat milk in PBS-T (0.05% Tween-20), blots were washed with PBS-T for three times, then probed with primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight. After PBS-T washing, blots were stained with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies in 1/5000 dilution at room temperature for 1 h. Blots were developed using Western lightning chemiluminescence reagent (Millipore, WBKLS0500; PerkinElmer, NEL105001EA).

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.
