Cells were harvested following each transfection and lysed with 1X RIPA buffer, supplemented with protease and phosphate inhibitors (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, Cat # 89900, A3278428, and A32953, respectively). Lysates (25–40 μg) were separated on Mini-PROTEAN™ (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and transferred on to nitrocellulose membranes. The membranes were blocked for 1 hour with 5% milk in 0.05% TBST and probed with the following antibodies at 4°C overnight: anti-BMP2 monoclonal detection antibody conjugated to horseradish-peroxidase (Sino-Biological, Beijing, China, Cat No SEK 10426, dilution - 1:5000 – 1:10000), anti-HA antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat # 14-6756-63, dilution 1:1000), Phospho-Smad1/5/9 (D5B10) Rabbit mAb (Cell Signaling, Danvers, CA, Cat No 13820T, dilution 1:500), Smad1 (D59D7) XP® Rabbit mAb (Cell Signaling, Danvers, CA, Cat No 13820T, dilution 1:1000). Blots were developed using the corresponding horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies with Immobilon™ chemiluminescence HRP substrate (Millipore, Billerica, MA, Cat # WBKLS0500) and the images were obtained with a PXi gel imaging system (Syngene, Frederick, MD, USA). Densitometric analysis was carried out using NIH-ImageJ™. Protein expression levels of all experimental conditions were represented as relative values (means ± SEM) of controls.

Western Blot Analysis of JAK-STAT Pathway

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BV-2 cells and tissues were lysed in RIPA buffer, containing protease and phosphate inhibitors (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). Protein concentrations in the cell and tissue homogenates were determined using a BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). Equal quantities (40 μg) of proteins were separated on a 10% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel, transferred onto Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) membranes and blocked with 5% non-fat milk in TBST for 1 h at room temperature. The protein abundance was detected after incubating the primary antibodies against STAT3, phospho-STAT3, JAK2, phospho-JAK2, followed by HRP-conjugated secondary antibody. The blots were visualized by an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) detection system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA).

The complete cell lysates were harvested on ice with M-PER protein extraction reagent (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) containing a mixture of protease and phosphate inhibitors (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). After sonication for 10 seconds, cell debris was removed by centrifugation (12,000g) for 10 minutes at 4°C. The protein concentration was determined by BCA protein assay reagent (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). A total of 50ng of protein per lane was supplemented with loading buffer (NuPage; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and boiled for 10 minutes. Immunoblotting was performed as previously described [18 (link)]. The cell lysates were subjected to 8%-16% Bis-Tris gels (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and transferred onto PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Membranes were probed with target antibodies.

Lysates (25‐40 μg) were separated on Mini‐PROTEANTM (Bio‐Rad) and transferred on to nitrocellulose membranes. The membranes were blocked for 1 hour with 5% milk in 0.05% TBST and probed with the following antibodies at 4°C overnight: anti‐BMP2 monoclonal detection antibody conjugated to horseradish‐peroxidase (Sino‐Biological, Cat No SEK 10426, dilution ‐ 1:5000 ‐ 1:10000), anti‐HA antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat # 14‐6756‐63, dilution 1:1000), Phospho‐Smad1/5/9 (D5B10) Rabbit mAb (Cell Signaling, Danvers, CA, Cat No 13820T, dilution 1:500), Smad1 (D59D7) XP® Rabbit mAb (Cell Signaling, Danvers, CA, Cat No 13820T, dilution 1:1000).

Vemurafenib Response in Melanoma Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SK-mel 24 and SK-mel 28 cells were plated on 100-mm2 dishes (~1.2 × 106 cells) and incubated overnight to ensure cell adherence. The cells were washed with PBS and treated with vemurafenib or 0.1% DMSO (vehicle) for 6, 24, 48 or 72 hours (n = 3). Cells were then washed with PBS, lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer containing protease and phosphate inhibitors (Thermo Fisher Scientific), left on ice for 30 minutes then concentrated by centrifugation at 14 000 rpm at 4°C for 10 minutes. The concentration of protein lysates was quantified using the bicinchoninic acid assay. For Western blot analysis, 25 μL of 20 μg/μL cell lysate was mixed with 25 μL 2x Laemmli loading buffer. Separated proteins in the gels were electrophoretically transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. After washing and blocking, p-MEK1/2, p-ERK1/2, ERK1/2 and b-actin antibodies (1 mg/mL; Cell Signaling Technology) diluted in SuperBlock (TBS) blocking buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were added and incubated overnight at 4°C. The bound antibodies were detected by horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antigoat Ig secondary antibody (Cell Signaling Technology) followed by ECL detection system (Thermo Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Densitometry analysis was performed using ImageJ software; data were normalized to actin and expressed relative to the control.

Total protein was prepared from flash-frozen liver tissue. Approximately 300 mg liver tissue was minced and homogenized in 1 mL of RIPA buffer with protease and phosphate inhibitors (1:100) (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Proteins were resolved on SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in 4–15% gels and then transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) in transfer buffer containing 10% methanol. Membranes were probed with primary ALDH1L1-specific in-house polyclonal antibody (1:10,000) in Tris-buffered saline with Tween- 20 containing 5% nonfat milk. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies were used at 1:5000 dilution, and the signal was assessed with Super Signal West Pico chemiluminescence substrate (Pierce, Rockford, IL, 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.
