Cell lysates were prepared by suspending 5 × 106 Jurkat T cells in 300 μl of lysis buffer as described elsewhere [49 ]. Equivalent amounts of protein lysate (20 μg) were electrophoresed on a 4-12% NuPAGE gradient gel (Invitrogen/Novex, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and then electrotransferred to an Immobilon-P membrane. Protein detection was performed using an ECL western blot kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. Densitometry was performed using ImageQuant TL software (Amersham, Arlington Heights, IL, USA). The arbitrary densitometric units for each protein of interest were normalized using those for GAPDH or β-actin.

Vascular Signaling Pathway Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Aortic inflammation and vascular insulin and VEGF signaling were analyzed by performing Western blots to examine IκBα degradation, a marker of NF-κBα activation, and insulin or VEGF-induced Akt phosphorylation (17 (link)–20 (link), 31 (link)). In addition, IκBα degradation was examined to test for the activation of the NF-κBα pathway by FFA in HUVECs. As described before (17 (link)–20 (link), 30 (link), 31 (link)), tissue and cells were lysed, and proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA), and probed with antibodies against IκBα and actin or phospho-Akt (Ser473) and Akt. Antibodies against IκBα, phospho-Akt (Ser473), and Akt (1:1,000) were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA), and the actin (1:2,000) antibody was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. The blots were developed with ECL plus (Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, NJ; or Pierce, Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA), and band intensities (Typhoon 9400 variable mode imager Amersham Biosciences; or myECL Imager, Thermo Fisher) were quantified using Image Quant TL software (Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, NJ; or myImageAnalysis Software, Thermo Fisher).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole cell protein extracts from U2OS cells overexpressing ectopic PTEN and mutations were prepared by cell lysis in ice-cold lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1% IGEPAL CO-630 (Nonidet P-40), 2 mM Na3VO4, 100 mM NaF, 1mM PMSF, 1 μg/ml of aprotinine, 20 mM Na4P2O7), followed by centrifugation at 15200 g for 10 min and collection of the supernatant. Yeast cell extracts were obtained by standard procedures. Proteins (50–100 μg in the case of mammalian cells; 20–50 μg in the case of yeast) were resolved in 10% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and transferred to PVDF membranes. Immunoblot was performed using anti-phospho-Ser473-Akt + anti-phospho-Thr308-Akt and anti-Akt antibodies (Cell Signaling Technologies), anti-PTEN 425A mAb (Andrés-Pons et al., 2005) or rabbit polyclonal anti-PTEN antibodies (Upstate), anti-GAPDH (Santa Cruz Technology) or anti-actin C4 (MP Biomedicals, France) antibodies, followed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse (Calbiochem) antibodies. For determination of phospho-Akt content, bands were quantified using ImageQuantTL software (Amersham Biosciences).

Western Blot Protein Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following cell lysate preparation, an equivalent amount of protein lysate (20–25 μg) was electrophoresed on a 4–12% NuPAGE gradient or 7% NuPAGE gels with MOPS buffer or Tris-Acetate Buffer and then electrotransferred to a nylon membrane as described elsewhere [8 (link)]. Protein detection was performed using an ECL western blot kit (Amersham, Arlington Heights, IL, USA). Densitometry was performed using ImageQuant TL software (Amersham) as previously described [34 (link)]. The arbitrary densitometric units for each protein of interest were normalized to the densitometric units for GAPDH.

Quantifying Antiviral Activity of CPT

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The assay is performed as reported elsewhere29 with some modifications. Cell-free virus particles were incubated with CPT at different concentrations at 37 °C in 5% CO2 for 3 h. The virus-drug mixture was then diluted 20-fold with 2% FBS DMEM to effective concentrations of CPT, after which the inoculum was added to MCF-7 cells seeded in 96-well plates (104 cells per well; final MOI 0.1). The cells were incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2 for 3 days. After 3 days, the plates were scanned and analyzed for viral reporter fluorescence using the Typhoon 9410 variable mode imager (Amersham Biosciences; Baie d’Urfe, QC, Canada) to evaluate MV-EGFP infections. Fluorescence intensity was quantified using Image Quant TL software (Amersham Biosciences).

The Human Cytokine Antibody Array (RayBiotech, Norcross, GA) consists of antibodies specific for 48 inflammatory cytokines or chemokines. Supernatants from 48-hour cultures of various cells were collected for analysis. Detection of cytokines in supernatants was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Mean intensities of dots on the membranes represented relative protein levels of cytokines and were quantified with ImageQuant TL software (Amersham Biosciences, Inc., Piscataway, NJ). The data after background subtraction were normalized according to positive control densities.

B78-H1 cells have been treated with porphyrin/light and seeded in 60 mm Petri dish, at a density of 5 × 103 cells. After one week of growth, the colonies were fixed and stained with 2.5% methylene blue in 50% ethanol for 10 min. The images were obtained by Gel DOC 2000 Bio-Rad (Milan, Italy). The stained colonies (>50 cells) have been counted by an Image Scanner equipped with Image Quant TL software (Amersham Biosciences). The experiment was performed in duplicate.

Corpus cavernosum and aorta from KCa2.3T/T (−Dox) mice, KCa2.3T/T (+Dox) mice and WT mice were snap frozen and kept at −80 °C in different quantities for KCa evaluation.

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.
