Cells were lysed in lysis buffer (phosphate-buffered saline containing 1% Triton X-100, protease inhibitor cocktail, and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride) at 4°C for 30 min. Lysate protein concentration was estimated using BCA protein assay kit (Pierce, USA). Equal amounts of protein were electrophoresed under non-reducing conditions on 10% acrylamide gels, followed by transfer to a PVDF membrane on a semidry transfer apparatus. After being blocked with 5% nonfat milk for 1 h at room temperature, the membrane was incubated with antibodies against FOXM1, MMP-2, MMP-9, and VEGF-A (ProteinTech Group, China) with proper dilutions for 1 h, respectively. After washing, horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (Sigma, USA) was used as a secondary antibody and then incubated with the membrane for 1 h at room temperature. The immunoreactive proteins were then detected using the ECL system. Densitometric analysis of immunoblots was performed by using Quantity One software.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For co-IP, cells harvested from 10-cm plates were lysed in RIPA buffer (#P0013C, Beyotime, China) on ice for 30 min. The supernatant was collected after centrifugation (12,000 × g, 15 min) and cocultured with protein A + G beads (#P2029, Beyotime, China) and IgG antibody or primary antibody at 4 °C overnight. The next day, the beads were washed with RIPA buffer six times. The protocols for the use of human tissue (12 pairs of matched bladder cancer/adjacent noncancerous tissues) were approved by the local ethics committee (the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University). For western blotting, the cells were harvested and lysed in RIPA buffer on ice for 30 min. The supernatant was collected after centrifugation (12,000 × g, 15 min). Then, 4× loading buffer was added to the supernatant and boiled in hot water (100 °C) for 10 min. The supernatant was then subjected to electrophoresis on SDS-PAGE gels. The detailed protocol was reported previously [12 (link)]. The primary antibodies used were as follows: GAPDH (Proteintech, #60004-1-Ig, 1:5000 dilution), RNF26 (Proteintech, #16802-1-AP, 1:800 dilution), p57 (Proteintech, #23317-1-AP, 1:800 dilution), p53 (Proteintech, #10442-1-AP, 1:3000 dilution), and FOXM1 (Proteintech, #13147-1-AP, 1:1000 dilution). ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health) was used to evaluate the protein levels.

Western Blot Analysis of Protein Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein was lysed from cells by using RIPA buffer (Cat no. 89901; Thermo Fisher, MA, USA) followed by centrifugation at 16,000 × g and 4°C for 15 min. To quantify the protein concentration, a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay (Cat no. 23225; Thermo Fisher, MA, USA) was performed. Denaturation of total protein was processed in a metal bath at 95°C for 5 min, and then, 30 μg of total proteins was separated by SDS-PAGE (7.5%). After that, proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes. 5% skimmed milk was dissolved in TBST to block the PVDF membrane for 2 h at room temperature. Then, the membranes were washed and incubated with the primary antibodies overnight.
The primary antibodies included anti-MTDH (1 : 1500) (Cat no. 13860-1-AP; Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China), MYBL2 (1 : 1500) (Cat no. 18896-1-AP; Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China), FoxM1 (1 : 1500) (Cat no. 13147-1-AP; Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China), and β-actin (1 : 2000) (Cat no. CL488-66009; Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China) antibodies. Then, the membranes were incubated with the horseradish peroxidase- (HRP-) conjugated secondary antibody (1 : 1000) (Cat. no. 7074; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) for 2 h at 37°C. To measure the chemiluminescence signals, the EasySee Western Blot Kit (Beijing TransGen Biotech, Beijing, China) was utilized. ImageJ version 1.53 software was used to quantify the proteins.

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.
