Protein Expression Analysis in Cell Lysates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cells of each group were lysed in lysis buffer (#P0013B, Beyotime Biotechnology, China). Determine the quality of the harvested protein by using bicinchoninic acid (BCA) kit (#P0012, Beyotime Biotechnology, China). Then, 20 μg of total proteins was separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gels and transferred on polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (#ISEQ00010, Millipore, USA) using the semi-dry transfer method. The membranes were blocked for 1 h in Tris-buffered saline containing 5% non-fat dried milk at room temperature (RT) and incubated overnight at 4°C with the relevant antibodies: SLIT2 (#47600), GFP (#55494), p-P38 MAPK (#4511), T-P38 MAPK (#8690), p-C-Fos (#5348), T-C-Fos (#2250), and β-actin (#4970) (1:1,000, all from Cell Signaling Technology, USA). Membranes were rinsed and incubated for 1 h with the corresponding peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (#ab205718, #ab205719, Abcam, USA). Chemiluminescent detection was performed using the enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) kit (#1251473, Thermo Fisher, USA). Bands were analyzed using ImageJ software (version 1.6 NIH) to verify the relative levels of the above markers. Results are representative of three independent experiments.

Western analysis was performed as described previously (20 (link)). Cell lysates were prepared using complete lysis buffer (EMD Millipore, San Diego, CA) with protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN). Protein quantification was performed using DC protein assay from Bio-Rad (Hercules, and CA). Western blot analysis was performed as described previously (21 (link),22 (link)). Antibodies used include stromelysin1 (cat. No. 14351-S) dilution 1:1,000 in milk, vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherins; cat No. 2158) dilution 1:1,000 in BSA, P-P38 MAPK (cat No. 9112-S) dilution 1:1,000 in BSA, T-P38MAPK (cat No. 9212-S) dilution 1:1,000 in BSA, P-SRC Tyr-416 (cat No. 6943-S) dilution 1:1,000 in BSA and T-SRC (cat No. 2109-S) dilution 1:1,000 in BSA all from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA). β-actin (dilution in milk, primary antibodies 1:10,000 and secondary antibodies 1:20,000) from Sigma (St. Louis, MO) and Claudin-5 antibodies (cat No. ab15106) 1:1,000 and secondary antibodies 1:5,000 dilution in milk from Abcam (Cambridge, MA). Band densitometry was done using NIH Image J software.

Protein extraction was performed with RIPA buffer as described previously [25 ]. Lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE and incubated with antibodies against p-MAPK (Thr202/Tyr204) (Cell Signalling, 4370; 1/1000), t-MAPK 44/42 (Cell Signalling, 4695; 1/1000), DLK-1 antibody (Abcam, ab21682; 1/1000), p-P38MAPK (Cell Signalling, 4511; 1/1000) and t-P38MAPK (Cell Signalling, 8690; 1/1000). Reactive bands were detected by chemiluminescence (Thermo Scientific, Scientific SuperSignal West Femto) and quantified by Image J software. Proteins were normalized to Ponceau S Staining [26 (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.
