The pellet from either BV2 cells or BV2-derived exosomes was lysated in PRO-PREP™ protein extraction solution (iNtRon Biotechnology, Seongnam, Korea), and the protein was loaded on 10% SDS polyacrylamide gel stained with Coomassie brilliant blue. Also, the protein was transferred to PVDF membranes for 2 h. Western blotting was confirmed with Alix (Cell signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA) antibody as an exosome marker. HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (H + L) (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX, USA) antibody was used as a secondary antibody, and the immune-reactive band was visualized using a luminescent image analyzer LAS-1000 plus (Fuji Photo Film, Tokyo, Japan). Transmission electron microscopy was performed to examine the size and morphology of the exosomes. Exosomes (6.40 µg/µL) isolated from BV2 cells were prepared on a carbon-coating grid and negatively stained using 2% uranyl acetate for 1 min45 (link). The prepared samples were observed using a JEOL 1200-EX II (Tokyo, Japan) equipped with an ES1000W Erlangshen CCD camera (Gatan, Pleasanton, CA, USA) at an accelerating voltage of 80 kV.

Immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation were performed essentially as described previously39 (link). To analyze TM2D3 by immunoblotting, samples were denatured at 50 °C for 5 min before loading to the gels. The first antibodies on the membrane filters were visualized with secondary antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase, a Western Lightning ECL Pro (PerkinElmer) chemiluminescent substrate, and a LAS-1000plus (Fujifilm) or ChemiDoc Touch (Bio-Rad) luminescent image analyzer; or secondary antibodies conjugated with near infrared dyes and Odyssey CLx (LI-COR).

TS and AGTS cells were washed once with PBS and lysed on ice in 10 ml of buffer comprised of 62.5 mM Tris-HCl
(pH 6.8), 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 2.5% β-mercaptoethanol and 1.25% bromophenol blue. The cells were then boiled
at 95 C for 5 min.
Electrophoresis was carried out on a 10% polyacrylamide gel, and separated proteins were transferred to a
nitrocellulose membrane (Hybond ECL, GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ, USA). The membrane was blocked in 5% skim
milk in washing buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl and 0.05% Tween-20) for 1 h and incubated with primary
antibodies (anti-rabbit P57/KIP2 polyclonal antibody [1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK], anti-CHK1 mouse
monoclonal antibody [Santa Cruz] and anti-human G3PDH antibody [Trevigen, Gaithersburg, MD, USA]) overnight at
4 C, followed by anti-rabbit or anti-mouse horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies
(1:1000; GE Healthcare). Signals were detected with an ECL Prime Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE
Healthcare) and visualized by a luminescent image analyzer (LAS-1000plus; Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan). Protein
samples were from 1 x 104 cells for P57/KIP2 detection and 20 μg proteins for CHK1 detection.

After incubating the enzyme with the test chemical, 10-mM dithiothreitol and × 4 Laemmli sample loading buffer (Bio-Rad, CA, USA) were added to the reaction mixture. The sample (60-ng protein/lane) and Precision Plus Protein Dual Color Standard (Bio-Rad) were then applied to an SDS-polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE, 10% acrylamide) and then migrated by electrophoresis. The proteins in gels were blotted onto a PVDF membrane (Immobilon-P, Merck), and quinones on the membrane were stained using NBT (0.24 mM) in 2-M glycine-NaOH (pH 10) as described previously [19 (link),20 (link)]. The same samples were separated using a gel, and the proteins in the gel were stained using Flamingo Stain (Bio-Rad) according to the manufactures’ protocol. Detection was performed using a LAS1000 plus (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan). This experiment was performed twice.

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.
