Measuring PDGFRB Expression and Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pdgfrb−/− MEFs or 10T1/2 fibroblasts were transduced, sorted by FACS analysis for GFP expression, and replated onto standard cell culture plates. Expression of P-WT and P-Ex12 was assessed by qRT-PCR or western blotting, essentially as previously described (Silva et al. 2005 (link)). RT-PCR primers were designed using the National Library of Medicine PRIMER-BLAST tool, and obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. For western blotting, proteins were solubilized in RIPA lysis buffer supplemented with PhosStop Phosphotase inhibitor and Roche Complete Protease inhibitor (Roche). Primary antibodies recognized human and mouse PDGFRB (EMD Millipore, #04-825), phospho-p42/44 (Cell signaling #9102), total MAPK (Cell Signaling, 9102S), and HSC-70 (Santa Cruz SC-729). Secondary antibodies included anti-goat (Jackson ImmunoResearch 705-035-003), anti-rabbit (Jackson ImmunoResearch 111-035-003), and anti-mouse (Jackson ImmunoResearch 715-035-0150, and protein expression was detected by using both CareStream film (Sigma-Aldrich Z3730398) and Bio-Rad Clarity Enhanced Chemiluminescence (Bio-Rad 1705060)

750 thousand HEK293 cells were seeded in 6 wells plates and transfected in 6 replicates with WT or mutant vectors using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). After 24 h cells were starved with DMEM/F12 without Mg++ and with minimal Ca++ concentration (0,5 mM final). 48 h after the transfection, cells were stimulated in triplicates for each vector with 4 or 10 mM CaCl2 for 5 min. Whole-cell extracts were made with RIPA buffer supplemented with cocktail inhibitors as above described. 80 ug of proteins were loaded onto a 12% SDS-PAGE and analyzed for expression of phosphorylated and total ERK1/2 proteins by immunoblotting with rabbit Phospho p42/44 and rabbit Total p42/44 antibodies, respectively (Cell Signaling Technology) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Secondary antibody was as above described. The Image J-National Institutes of Health image processing program (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/) was used for signal densitometry by determining the ratios of the phosphorylated to nonphosphorylated ERK1/2 signals at various extracellular calcium concentrations and then normalized to the ratio of phosphorylated to unphosphorylated ERK1/2 at 10 mM [Ca++].

Human FL-HCCs, normal liver samples, and hepatocyte cultures were homogenized in ice-cold radioimmunoprecipitation (RIPA) buffer containing protease inhibitors, and protein concentrations were measured using the BCA Protein Assay (Pierce, Rockford, IL). Equal amounts of protein were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to Immobilon-P membranes (Millipore, Bedford, MA) and incubated at 4 degrees C overnight with the following primary antibodies: NTS (sc-20806, Santa Cruz), NTSR1 (sc-376958, Santa Cruz), NTSR2 (NB100-56472, Novus Biologicals), PCSK1 (sc-100578, Santa Cruz), phospho-p70 S6 Kinase (Thr389, #97596), phospho-p42/44 (#4370), phospho-MEK1/2 (Ser217/221, #9154), phospho-Src (Tyr416, #2101), phospho-EGFR (Tyr1068, #3777), phospho-HER2 (Tyr1248, #2247; all Cell Signaling) and β-Actin (A5441, Sigma, St. Louis, MO).

The protein extracts were prepared as described previously [14 (link)]. Following SDS-PAGE and electroblotting, the membranes were incubated with the following primary antibodies: p65, phospho-p65 (Ser536), IκBα p38, p42/44, JNK, pospho-p38, phospho-p42/44, phospho-JNK, Phospho-Akt, Akt and tubulin (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA); Laminin A/B (Santa Cruz, Dallas, Texas, USA); SP1 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Primary antibody application was followed by incubation with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (anti-mouse and anti-rabbit IgG, Amersham, Uppsala, Sweden; anti-goat, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). The blots were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence detection system (ECL) (Amersham, Freiburg, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Densitometry was used to quantify band intensities using ImageJ (v1.29 s). Optical densities of the bands were corrected for loading differences based on corresponding control bands.

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.
