Total protein extracts from the cultured foam cell lines and thoracic aorta tissues were prepared in direct lysis buffer [50 mmol/l Tris-HCl (pH 6.8), 100 mmol/l DTT, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 1X complete (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) and 0.2% bromophenol blue]. The cells were boiled for 10 min and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 5 min. Following 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), the proteins were electroblotted onto nitrocellulose membranes (Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA).

Cells were collected and washed three times with PBS before lysis in lysis buffer (MK163780, ThermoFisher Scientific Inc, Waltham, MA, USA). The protein concentration of the lysates was determined according to the BCA method using the Protein Quantitative Analysis kit (2812 k; CWBIO, CoWin Biotech Co. Ltd., Beijing, China). For electrophoresis, 100 μg of protein was loaded into the wells of a 10% SDS polyacrylamide gel. After separation, proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, blocked for 3 h at room temperature in blocking buffer (5% nonfat dry milk, Tween-Tris-buffered saline), washed in PBS 3 times and incubated with primary antibody of ABCAM (Rabbit polyclonal to ERK, ab16869, 1: 1:5000; Rabbit polyclonal to AKT, ab66138, 0.15 μg/ml; Rabbit polyclonal to Bax, ab7977, 1:1000; Rabbit polyclonal to Bcl-2, ab18210, 1 μg/ml) and Actin (sc-1616, 1:200, SANTA CRUZ BIOTECHNOLOGY) overnight at 4°C with gentle agitation.

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.
