Plasmids (1 mg/ml) expressing HA-Cpgp40 (pcDNA3.1-HA-Cpgp40) and ENO1 (pcDNA3.1-ENO1) were mixed at the ratio of 1:1 and transfected into HEK293 cells in three-well plates using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. As controls, cells were also transfected with plasmids pcDNA3.1-ENO1 or pcDNA3.1-HA-Cpgp40 under the same conditions. At 48 h post-transfection, cells were lysed in weak RIPA lysis buffer (Solarbio, China) containing 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (Solarbio, China) and protease inhibitor cocktail (Solarbio, China). The cell lysates were incubated with mouse anti-ENO1 antibody or anti-HA antibody (Abcam, UK) at 4 °C overnight, followed by antibody capture by Protein G agarose beads (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA) at 4 °C for 3 h. The agarose beads were then extensively washed with weak RIPA lysis buffer containing 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and protease inhibitor cocktail and PBS containing 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and protease inhibitor cocktail. Proteins bound to agarose beads were solubilized in 1× SDS-loading buffer, boiled at 100 °C for 10 min, and examined by immunoblotting analysis.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ucMGP concentrations in GGCX dermal fibroblasts were quantified using a human ucMGP ELISA Kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (#CSB-EC013789HU, Cusabio Biotech Co., Wuhan, China). Briefly, cells (6.4 × 105) isolated from three controls and one GGCX patient were separately seeded on 6-well plates. When they reached early confluency, cells were washed with cold PBS twice and lysed on ice for 5 minutes with RIPA buffer (#9806S, Cell Signaling Technology) containing protease inhibitors (Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Set I; Calbiochem) and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (Santa Cruz). The lysate were collected using a cell scraper and vortexed for 30 seconds. After centrifugation at 12,500 rpm for 10 minutes at 4°C, protein concentrations in the supernatants were quantitated using a Quick Start Bradford protein assay (Quick Start BSA standard set, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.). Samples (approximately 40 μg of protein) were mixed with the sample diluent, and the ucMGP content was assessed. Reactions were stopped by addition of acidic stop solution, followed by measurement of OD at 450 nm in triplicate (Labsystems Multiskan MS #352, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.). The values were adjusted by the protein contents, which were determined from the same plates.

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.
