Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total lysates were obtained from human articular chondrocyte cultures 48 h after transfection with empty pcDNA expression vector of pcDNA expression vector containing full length AnxA6 cDNA or from late stage human OA articular cartilage using T-PERTM Tissue Protein Extraction Reagent from Pierce Biology Products. To extract the nuclear and plasma membrane proteins from the cell cultures we used the NE-PERTM Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction Reagent or the Mem-PERTM Plus Membrane Protein Extraction Kit from Pierce Biology Products and followed the manufacturer’s instructions. Thirty μg of total cytoplasmic, nuclear or plasma membrane protein fractions were analyzed by SDS PAGE and immunoblotting with antibodies specific for AnxA6 (Abcam, ab7671), ß-catenin (Abcam, ab6302), Dishevelled 1 (Dvl1, Abcam, ab174679) as described previously [20 (link)]. For normalization of the protein expression levels, the membranes were immunostained with antibodies specific for beta-actin (total tissue cell lysate, Abcam, ab20272), alpha 1 sodium potassium ATPase (ATP1A1, plasma membrane fraction, Abcam, ab7671) and lamin B (nuclear fraction, Abcam, ab194109).

The HSG cells were transiently transfected with the pEGFP-C1-AQP-5 plasmid using Lipofectamine 2000 [27 (link)]. AQP-5-transfected HSG cells were grown in a 60-mm dish, pre-incubated with MβCD for 3 min, and treated with carbachol or thapsigargin for 20 min at 37 °C. The membrane fraction was obtained as previously described [28 (link)] and sonicated in ice-cold 20 mM HEPES solution containing 1 mM MgCl2, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM dithiothreitol, and 0.3 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (3 × 30 s; Sigma) at pH 7.4. The samples were centrifuged at 600× g at 4 °C, and the supernatants were centrifuged further at 20,000× g at 4 °C. The pellets (P2 membrane fractions) were separated via SDS-PAGE, and the proteins were transferred onto a PVDF membrane for immunoblotting. After blocking, the membrane was incubated with anti-AQP-5 (Santa Cruz, sc-9891, 1:200) as the primary antibody. The membrane was washed, incubated with donkey anti-goat IgG-HRP, and subjected to an electrochemiluminescence assay for detection. For normalization of the AQP5 signal, the membranes were stripped and re-probed with antibodies for anti-α1 Na+/K+-ATPase (Abcam, ab7671, 1:1000).

Quantitative Immunohistochemical Scoring Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The immunohistochemical staining protocol and semiquantitative analysis were carried out following the protocol of our previous study44 (link). Primary antibodies included anti-Hsp90α (#ab59459, Abcam; Cambridge, MA), anti-ATP1A1 (#ab7671, Abcam; Cambridge, MA) and anti-STAT3 (#ab15523, Abcam; Cambridge, MA).
Following a hematoxylin counterstaining, immunostaining was scored by two independent experienced pathologists, who were blinded to the background information of the mice. The scores of the two pathologists were compared and any discrepant scores were trained through re-examining the stainings by both pathologists to achieve a consensus score. The number of positive-staining cells in ten representative microscopic fields was counted and the percentage of positive cells was calculated. The percentage scoring of immunoreactive tumor cells was as follows: 0 (0%), 1 (1–10%), 2 (11–50%) and 3 (>50%). The staining intensity was visually scored and stratified as follows: 0 (negative), 1 (weak), 2 (moderate) and 3 (strong). A final immunoreactive score (IRS) was obtained for each case by multiplying the percentage and the intensity score.

Confocal Imaging of Na+/K+-ATPase in Cardiomyocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For confocal imaging, CMs were isolated from a healthy control mouse and 8 hr after CLP according to the method we described before [5 (link), 29 ]. CMs were plated on sterile glass coverslips coated with natural mouse Laminin (Life Technologies). The CMs then fixed using 4% formaldehyde before staining to prevent entering the first antibody into the cytosol, in this way we could predominantly detect the extracellular part of the Na+/K+-ATPase plasma membrane. Cells were incubated with anti-alpha 1 Sodium Potassium ATPase antibody (ab7671, Abcam) for 30 minutes and then washed in PBS. Goat anti-mouse IgG-AlexaFluor488 (Jackson Immunoresearch) was considered as the secondary antibody for immunofluorescent labeling. CMs were mounted on slide with ProLong Gold anti-fade reagent containing DAPI (Life Technologies). Digital monochromatic images were acquired on a Zeiss LSM 510 Confocal microscope (Zeiss USA).

Mitochondrial proteins were extracted from homogenized hearts with a dounce potter in lysis buffer (sucrose 250 mM, K+ Hepes pH 7.5 20 mM, KCl 10 mM, MgCl2 1.5 mM, EDTA 0.1 mM, EGTA 1 mM, protease inhibitors, NaF 50 mM, Na3VO4 0.2 mM, PMSF 100 μM, DTT 1 mM, digitonin 0.025%) as previously reported [17 (link),53 (link),54 (link)]. The protein yield was quantified with the Bio-Rad protein assay (BIO-RAD, Milan, Italy). Western blot analysis for Cx43 or pCx43 was performed as described above. Primary antibody anti-TOM20 (Santa Cruz: SC-11415) was used as loading control. In order to verify the purity of mitochondrial protein extraction, a Western blot analysis was performed to evaluate the presence of proteins expressed only in the mitochondria (ox-Phos Complex II, Abcam, Cambridge, UK: ab14715) and the absence of proteins expressed in other cellular compartments (Na+/K+ ATPase, Abcam: ab7671) [55 (link)].

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.
