Protein Expression Analysis in RHEs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After treatments, RHEs were lysed with specific lysis buffer (T-PER, Thermo Scientific, #78510, Waltham, MA, USA) to evaluate filaggrin, loricrin and claudin-1 expressions. Protein concentration was determined by a BCA assay, and then lysates were kept frozen at −80 °C until use. All the samples were adjusted to the same protein concentration, and an equal quantity of proteins was loaded in each capillary. Target proteins were identified by a capillary electrophoresis-based protein analysis system (Sally Sue; ProteinSimple, San Jose, CA, USA) using primary antibodies (anti-filaggrin, clone AKH1, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies #sc66192, Dallas, TX, USA; anti-loricrin, Abcam #ab176322; anti-claudin-1, Life technologies #71-7800, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and they were immunoprobed using a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody and chemiluminescent substrate. The capillaries containing a proprietary UV-activated chemical-linked coating were obtained from ProteinSimple. All samples and reagents were prepared according to the recommended manufacturer’s instructions. The resulting chemiluminescent signal was detected and quantified using Compass Software version 2.7.1 (ProteinSimple, Minneapolis, MN, USA) followed by a statistical analysis.

Each tissue slide was prepared as described previously [69 (link)]. Staining was carried out via H&E and toluidine blue, followed by immunohistochemical staining with anti-filaggrin (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-loricrin (Abcam), and anti-TRPA1 (GTX54765; GeneTex, Irvine, CA, USA) antibodies. Staining was performed using an Ultravision Quanto Detection System (TL-060-QHD; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). After staining, tissues were dehydrated and sealed in Permount (SP15-100; Thermo Fisher Scientific), and observed via optical microscopy (DM750, Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). For fluorescence images, the sections were incubated with primary antibody with anti-TRPA1 (GTX54765; GeneTex, Irvine, CA, USA) antibody at 4 °C for 16 h, followed by incubation with secondary antibodies against FITC-conjugated goat-anti-rabbit IgG (1:1000, sc-2012, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) at 21 °C for 1 h. Immunostained tissues were mounted with a medium containing Fluoroshield™ with DAPI (ImmunoBioScience, Mukilteo, WA, USA). Fluorescence images were acquired by using a confocal microscope (LSM700; Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

The mouse back skin was fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. Partial sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) for pathological observation by microscopy. Partial sections were stained with anti-Rabbit CD3 (1:100, Abcam, United States) and anti-Loricrin (1:200, Abcam, United States), and Diaminobezidin (DAB) (Zhongshan Golden Bridge Biotechnology, China) was used for color development. For immunofluorescence, Ki-67 (proliferation) level was evaluated in skin sections using anti-Ki67 antibody (1:200, Abcam), following the manufacturer’s instructions. For CD3+, Ki-67+, and Loricrin+ cells, three areas in three sections of each sample were selected randomly, and the number of positive cells was calculated.

KC cells (2.5 × 104 cells/well) were seeded in 4‐well chamber slides and incubated for 24 h before treatment with UVB (10 J/cm2) or UVB (10 J/cm2) + ZAG peptide (2.0 µg/mL). Cells were then fixed with 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) for 15 min at room temperature, followed by three washes with PBS. The fixed cells were incubated overnight with anti‐loricrin (Abcam Cambridge, UK) or anti‐filaggrin (Abcam) antibodies at 4°C. Thereafter, the slides were washed three times and incubated with FITC‐labeled secondary fluorescent antibodies (Goat pAb to Rb IgG‐FITC; Abcam) for 2 h at room temperature.

Cells and dorsal tissues were collected and lysed in PRO-PREP (iNtRON, Seongnam, Korea) containing a protease inhibitor cocktail (Complete™; Roche, Mannheim, Germany). Amounts of protein in the lysates were quantitated using a BCA kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Following quantitation, equal amounts of protein were resolved on 10% SDS-PAGE gels and electrotransferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA). After blocking with 5% skim milk in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.5% Tween-20 (TBST), membranes were probed with anti-filaggrin, anti-involucrin, anti-loricrin from Abcam (Cambridge, UK); anti-alix, anti-flotillin, anti-CD9, anti-phospho-STAT1, anti-STAT1, anti-phospho-STAT1, anti-STAT1, anti-phospho-STAT3, anti-STAT3 from Cell Singling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA); and anti-β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) antibodies at 4 °C overnight. After washing, membranes were incubated with HRP-conjugated anti-mouse (Vector Labs Inc., Burlingame, CA, USA) or anti-rabbit (Vector Labs Inc.) secondary antibodies. Immunoreactive signals were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagents (EzWestLumi plus; ATTO, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
