Protein samples of the cells were extracted by lysing the cells with radio immunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). The protein samples were quantified using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime) and the same amount of samples were loaded for sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Protein bands on the gel were transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane and blocked in 5% skim milk for 2 h at room temperature and then the blot was incubated in the specific primary antibodies for TSLP (ab47943), skeletal muscle actin (α-SMA, ab5694), collagen I (ab6308), MAPK7 (ab40809), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1, ab180163), phospho-ERK1 (p-ERK1, ab24157), p38 (ab7952), p-p38 (ab178867), c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1, ab199380), and p-JNK1 (ab47337), purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK), overnight at 4°C. β-actin (ab189073) was used as an endogenous reference. After washing, the blot was incubated in horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. Positive signals were developed using the ECL Plus Western Blotting Substrate (Thermo Scientific). Band densities for each sample were analyzed using ImageJ 1.49 software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD).

Cells were lysed on ice using a radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China). Proteins were collected, electrophoresed via 10% SDS-PAGE, then transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany). Then, the membranes were incubated at 4°C overnight with the following primary antibodies: Anti-p38 at a 1:1,000 dilution (ab7952; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-phosphorylated (p)-p38 at a 1:500 dilution (ab4822; Abcam), anti-TGF-β1 at a 1:500 dilution (ab92486; Abcam), anti-fibronectin at a 1:500 dilution (ab2413; Abcam) and β-actin at a 1:1,000 dilution (sc-130656; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA). The species-specific horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (ZDR-5306; ZSGB-Bio, Beijing, China) were added at a 1:500 dilution and incubated for 1 h at room temperature to the membranes, and immunoreactive protein bands were detected using a Western Bright Enhanced Chemiluminescence detection system (Advansta, Inc., Menlo Park, CA, USA).

The blots were examined by an enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (Millipore). Actin was used as a loading control, and all experiments were repeated three times independently. Expression quantification of proteins was performed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, USA).

Immunohistochemistry of p38 in Mouse Retina

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse retina cryosections (10 μm) were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and blocked with 10% normal goat serum. The sections were rinsed with PBS, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100, and incubated over night with anti-p38 antibody (rabbit polyclonal, ab7952, Abcam; Cambridge, MA). The slides were rinsed with PBS, and incubated with the anti-rabbit-FITC conjugated secondary antibody (NL006; R&D systems; Minneapolis, MN) for 1 hour [26 (link)]. After rinsing the slides with PBS, the sections were mounted with DAPI-containing mounting media (Vector Laboratories; Burlingame, CA), and imaged with an Olympus BX-UCB fluorescent microscope (20X magnification). The fluorescence intensity was quantified by using ImageJ software (version 1.44; NIH). Cryosections processed under similar conditions, except being incubated with the primary antibody, served as controls.

Analyzing Ptch1 Knockout MEFS Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ptch1−/− MEFS containing the integrated hPtch1 variants were trypsinized and analyzed compared to an uninfected (control) population using fluorescence activated cell sorting. A population of cells with fluorescence from the integrated hPtch1-mVenus-1D4 construct was clearly visible. This population was used to set a sorting gate for the cells containing the hPtch1 gene. Approximately 250,000 cells were sorted and then plated into a 6-cm dish. Once these cells were grown to a sufficient density, they were seeded into additional plates for Western blot analysis (41 (link)) to confirm expression of the hPTCH1-mVenus-1D4 gene. An anti–green fluorescent protein antibody (Novus Biologicals, catalog no. NB600-308, RRID: AB_10003058) was used to detect PTCH1 expression levels, and anti-P38 (Abcam, catalog no. ab7952, RRID: AB_306166) was used as a gel loading control.

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.
