Proteins of mice hippocampus and frontal cortex was prepared after 3 injections of SCE, AA, SCE and AA mixture (10 mg/kg) using an RIPA buffer consisting of 50 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% deoxycholate and 1% Nonidet P-40. A 10% phosphatase inhibitor and 10% protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) was added before using the RIPA buffer. Next, 12 μg of protein was mixed with a 5X sample buffer and loaded on SDS-PAGE gel. The Protein sample was run on gel by electrophoresis and transferred by 200 mA to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Millipore, MA, USA). The membrane was blocked by 5% skim milk and incubated with primary antibodies including anti-PSD95 (Thermo Scientific, MA, USA), GluR1 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), GAD65 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), Gephyrin (Synaptic Systems, Goettingen, Germany), and α-Tubulin (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA) antibodies at 4 °C overnight. The membrane was incubated with a secondary anti-mouse or rabbit IgG horseradish peroxidase antibody (HRP, Pierce Biotechnology, MA, USA), which corresponds to the primary antibody host, for 1 h at room temperature and each protein band was visualized by the ECL system (Thermo Scientific, MA, USA). For ECL detection, we used medical X-ray film blue (AGFA CP-BU NEW, Belgium), developer solution, and fixer solution for the ECL detection.

The ketamine (100 mg/kg)/xylazine (10 mg/kg, i. p.) were used to anesthetize mice. After the mice were decapitated, the hippocampus were rapidly removed and homogenized in a lysis buffer (in mM: Tris-HCl 50, NaCl 150, EDTA 5, NaF 10, sodium orthovanadate 1, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride 1, 1% Triton X-100, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate and protease inhibitor cocktail). After that, total proteins (20 μg) were separated by SDS-PAGE and blotted onto a polyvinilidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. The membranes were incubated in antibodies of phospho-ERK1/2 (1:1,000; CST, USA); phospho-GluR1, phospho-GluR2, phospho-GluN2A and phospho-GluN2B (1:1,000; Abcam, United Kingdom); phospho-Src (1:1,000; Millipore, USA). After visualization, the membranes were treated with stripping buffer (Restore; Pierce) for 15 min, and then incubated with antibodies of ERK1/2 (1:1,000; CST, USA); GluR1, GluR2, GluN2A and GluN2B (1:1,000; Abcam, United Kingdom); Src (1:1,000; Millipore, USA) or β-actin (1:1,000; CST, USA). Ras activation assay was implemented according to the instructions of the company (Cell biolabs). The small GTPase is tested by Western blot using a target-specific antibody included in the kit.

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.
