The mice were administered a strong anesthetic and slaughtered 16 h following the CLP procedure. The intestinal samples were swiftly collected and frozen at -80°C for future use. The samples were homogenized with RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) at 12, 000 xg and 4°C for 20 min. To generate the standard curve, the supernatant was treated with a Bbicinchonininc acid (BCA) kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) and the absorbance was measured at 570 nm. The sample protein concentration was maintained at 10 g/l. Equal amounts of protein (20 mg) were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes (Invitrogen, USA) from several models.

For WB analysis, the mice were sacrificed and the peri-infarct tissues or the corresponding region of sham-operated mice were collected after 6 or 24 h of IPC and/or IPC + MCAO. Brain tissues were homogenized, and the total proteins were extracted. The cytosolic protein in samples was also extracted at 6 or 24 h after IPC and/or OGD. The protein concentration was determined with the Micro BCA Kit (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL, USA). The protein samples (50 μg) were subjected to 8–12% Tris-glycine SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes with the electrophoretic transfer system. The membranes were then blocked with Tris-HCL buffer saline containing 10% skim milk and 0.1% Tween-20 (TBS-T) for 1 h at room temperature.

Western blotting assays were performed as previously described by us [27 (link), 28 (link)]. The following primary antibodies were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA): GSDMD-N (cat. #36425, dilution 1/2000), cleaved caspase-1 (cat. #4199, dilution 1/2000), NLRP3 (cat. #15101, dilution 1/1000), TOMM20 (cat. #42406, dilution 1/2000), COXIV (cat. #4850, dilution 1/2000), FOXO3a (cat. #2497, dilution 1/2000), and GAPDH (cat. #5174, dilution 1/3000). The Gel-Pro image program (Media Cybernetics, Las Vegas, USA) was used to measure the density of bands in a blinded manner. The protein level was expressed as a percentage of GAPDH to generate a relative protein level, and the relative protein level of the control group was expressed as a value of 1 (100%). Then, the protein levels of the other groups were normalized to this value. The obtained values were subjected to statistical analysis.

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.
