Running Buffers; Invitrogen NativePAGE Novex Bis-Tris Gel System, Cat. no. BN1001BOX, BN1002BOX, and BN1004BOX

Protein Standard; Invitrogen NativeMARK Unstained Protein Standard, Cat. no. LC0725

3–12% Bis-Tris Gel; NativePAGE 3–12% Bis-Tris Gel, Cat. no. BN1003BOX

Protocol and reagents were adapted from Sancak et al (2013) (link). Gel electrophoresis running buffers were prepared according to the manufacturer’s protocol for the Invitrogen NativePAGE Novex Bis-Tris Gel System. Running buffers were cooled to 4°C before use, and electrophoresis was performed at 4°C. Invitrogen NativeMARK Unstained Protein Standard was used to estimate molecular weight. Gels were run at 40 V for 30 min. Voltage was then increased to 100 V for 1 h, and subsequently to 250 V for 90 min. When the dye front had traveled through ∼1/3 of the gel, electrophoresis was paused, and the Dark Blue Cathode Buffer was replaced with Light Blue Cathode Buffer, as per the manufacturer’s protocol.

Blue-Native Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blue-native-PAGE (BN-PAGE) was carried out using the NativePAGE™ Novex Bis–Tris Gel system (Invitrogen); a precast polyacrylamide system used for the separation of proteins in the non-denatured state. The system is based on the method described by Schagger and von Jagow [49 (link)], which uses Coomassie blue G-250 as the charge-shift molecule. This molecule binds to proteins and confers a net negative charge, while maintaining the proteins in the native state without any denaturation [50 (link)]. It is added to the samples containing non-ionic detergent prior to loading. It is also present in the cathode buffer to provide a continuous flow of Coomassie blue G-250 into the gel. BN-PAGE was performed at 140 V for 2 h using a 4%–12% Bis–Tris gel, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Upon completion of the run, the gels were placed in fix solution (40% v/v methanol and 10% v/v acetic acid) and microwaved at high voltage for 45 s, followed by incubation for 30 min at room temperature on a shaker. The fix solution was discarded and Coomassie Blue stain (0.1% w/v Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250, 40% v/v methanol and 10% v/v glacial acetic acid) was added to the gel, followed by microwaving and overnight incubation at room temperature, with shaking. The gel was destained with destaining solution (8% v/v acetic acid) and microwaved again until clear enough for imaging.

Samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE under denaturing and non-denaturing conditions using the NativePAGE™ Novex® Bis-Tris gel system (Invitrogen™) following the manufacturer’s instructions. After Electrophoresis, gels were stained with Coomassie® Brilliant blue G250 for visualization of proteins or transferred to 0.2 µM PVDF membrane (Roche) by western blotting. Blots were incubated with 0.2 µg/ml mouse monoclonal anti-BPI specific antibody (Santa Cruz Biotech Inc.), 0.01 mM rabbit polyclonal anti-Rac2 specific antibody (Cell Signalling Technology- Rac 1/2/3 antibody) or 1.0 μg/ml of monoclonal anti-actin antibody (Millipore, UK). The secondary antibodies used were HRP-linked rabbit anti-mouse and goat anti-rabbit IgG (Cell Signalling Technology). Immunoreactivity was detected using Immobilon™ Western Chemiluminescent HRP- substrate (Millipore) solution and a G-Box Chemie XL (Syngene) and analyzed using GeneSnap and GeneTools software.

BN-PAGE analyses were performed as previously described [24 (link)] using isolated mitochondria lysed with n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside using the Native PAGE Novex Bis-Tris Gel system (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 30 μg of isolated mitochondria was solubilized using sodium dodecyl maltoside. Digitonin was included in the lysis buffer for detection of mitochondrial supercomplexes. The suspensions were centrifuged at 20000 × g for 10 min at 4°C, after which proteins in the resulting supernatants were resolved by PAGE on a native polyacrylamide Novex 3–12% Bis-Tris gel (Invitrogen) and then transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. After fixing with 8% acetic acid, the membrane was blocked with 5% skim milk in TBS-T (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween 20) for 1 h and immunoblotted using Anti-OxPhos Blue Native WB Antibody Cocktail (Invitrogen, 457999).

Quantitative LDH Isoenzyme Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LDH isoenzyme patterns were determined by previously published methods (Leiblich et al. 2006 (link)). Briefly, the LDH isoenzymes in the subcellular fractions from the cerebral cortex samples were separated on NativePAGE Novex Bis-tris Gel System (Invitrogen; Carlsbad, CA, USA). Regions of LDH activity were made visible by using a staining solution containing: 0.1 M sodium lactate, 1.5 mM NAD, 0.1 M Tris-HCl (pH 8.6), 10 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.03 mg/ml phenazinmethosulphate (PMS) and 0.25 mg/ml nitrobluetetrazolium (NBT). The assay relies on the conversion of lactate to pyruvate, with the production of NADH and H+. The NADH then reduces PMS, which in turn reduces NBT to give an insoluble product, diformazan. Protein extracted from human heart and skeletal muscles served as positive controls and were obtained from Novus Biologicals. LDH isoenzyme bands were identified by comparison of retention time to standards. Individual bands were quantified by densitometry. Values for individual isoenzymes are expressed as the percent of total isoenzyme (the sum of the densitometry of all isoenzymes in that sample), and reflect the mean ± standard deviation (SD) of three gels.
