Western Blot studies were carried out as described previously (45 (link)–47 (link)). Briefly, control and experimental cells were harvested, lysed in RIPA buffer containing 50 mM Tris-Cl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, 1% NP-40, 0.25% Deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 1X protease inhibitor cocktail (Calbiochem, Cocktail Set I), 1mM PMSF, and 0.2mM sodium orthovanadate. Protein concentration was determined using the Bio-Rad Protein Assay kit (PIERCE, Rockford, IL). Total protein lysed extracts (30 μg/lane) were loaded on a 10 % polyacrylamide (PAGE) premade gel (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and after transferring onto PVDF membrane were processed for immunostaining with primary antibodies against APOL1 (anti-mouse, #66124-I-IG, Protein tech), NLRP3 (anti-mouse, #sc-66846; Santa Cruz); ASC (sc-22514-R; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), Caspase-1and Cleaved (C ) Caspase-1 (antirabbit #4199;1:700, Cell Signaling): followed by treatment with horseradish peroxidase-labeled appropriate secondary antibodies. The blots were developed using a chemiluminescence detection kit (PIERCE, Rockford, IL) and exposed to X-ray film (Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, NY). Equal protein loading and the protein transfers were confirmed by immunoblotting for determination of GAPDH protein using a monoclonal GAPDH antibody (#SC-47724; 1:3000, Santa Cruz) performed on the same (stripped) western blots.

By using ice-cold RIPA buffer the total protein was isolated from hippocampal tissues. BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) was used to measure the protein concentrations. A nitrocellulose membrane (Millipore Co., USA) was used for immuno-blotting where the protein samples (30 μg) were separated using SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and then transferred to. For 1 h the membrane was blocked with 5% skim milk in Trisbuffered saline (150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween 20, 20 mM Tris, pH 7.4). Then the proteins were detected by incubation with primary antibodies against HMGB1, RAGE at 4 °C overnight. Later the membrane was washed for 3 times in Tween 20 + PBS and was incubated by the horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies for 2 h. The immuno-blots were visualized by a Millipore ECL Western Blotting Detection System and the variables protein expression levels were normalized to those of β-actin.

Total protein was extracted in cell lysis buffer (R0278, RIPA buffer, Sigma, UK) and the protein concentration was determined. The protein concentration was determined with a BCA Protein Assay Kit (23227, Thermo, UK). Equal amounts of proteins per sample were separated by electrophoresis and transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes.

The membranes were washed and incubated with the secondary antibodies. Protein expression was assessed by chemiluminescence. Relative amounts of protein were quantified based on the relative densities of the protein bands, by using an image analysis system (Bio-Rad Gel Doc 2000, USA).

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.
