Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were lysed for 30 minutes with RIPA lysis buffer, and then centrifuged at 12,000 g for 5 mins. Protein quantification was performed using the Micro BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL). 10 ug protein was used for SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Separated protein in SDS-PAGE gel was transferred onto the PVDF membrane (BioRad 1620177, Irvine, CA, USA). After blocking with 5% skimmed milk for 1 hour, the membrane was then incubated with primary antibodies: rabbit mAb CD63 (1:1,000; Abcam), rabbit mAb Hsp70 (1:1,000; StressGen), rabbit mAb HMGA1 (1:100; Abcam), and rabbit pAb -actin (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology). The primary antibodies were dissolved in TBST comprising 5% BSA and incubated overnight at 4°C. The membrane was washed 3 times with TBST for 5 minutes each. After wash, the membrane was further incubated with goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated with HRP (1:3000; Cell signaling #7074, MA, USA). Then the membrane was washed 4 times with TBST and the protein bands were visualized using an EZ-ECL Chemiluminescence Detection kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL) and photographed on a gel imager system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, United States).

Genotyping of human Tp53 polymorphism was performed at the University of Salamanca by authors blinded to the clinical status of patients, by using the PCR-RFLP technique.23 (link) The Tp53 SNP of exon 4 at codon 72 (Arg72Pro; rs1042522) was detected by amplifying genomic DNA with the forward primer 5′-TCTACAGTCCCCCTTGCCGT-3′ and the reverse primer 5′-CTGACCGTGCAAGTCACAGA-3′. Tp53 exon 4, where BstU1 (Bsh1236I) RFLP is located, was amplified within a 298-bp DNA fragment. Digests were separated on agarose gel (3%) and the Midori Green Advanced-stained DNA fragments (Nippon Genetics Europe GmbH, Düren, Germany) were analyzed under a UV source (Gel Imager System; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The distribution of genotype frequencies in Arg72Pro between the ICH cohort was within the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.1 in all cases). As the Pro allele is likely to exert a dominant effect on the Arg one,23 (link) two groups were considered for this study: Pro (Pro/Pro and Pro/Arg genotypes) and Arg (Arg/Arg genotype) patients.

Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) with S1 nuclease (Takara Biotechnology, Dalian, China) digestion was carried out to determine the size of the plasmid. Briefly, after cells (OD600 = 0.95 − 1.00) were fixed with SeaKem Gold agarose (Cambrex BioScience, Walkersville, MD, USA) and subsequently lysed, the embedded DNAs were digested using 18 U S1 enzymes (Takara Biotechnology, Dalian, China) in a 37 °C water bath for 15 min. The restricted DNA fragments were separated in 0.5 × TAE buffer at 14 °C for 19 h using a CHEF Mapper electrophoresis system (Bio-Rad, Richmond, CA, USA) with pulse times of 2.16–63.8 s. The PFGE image was obtained with a Gel Imager System (Bio-Rad, USA). S. Braenderup H9812 was used as the DNA size marker.

To investigate the level of PprI expression in L. lactis, strains MG(PprI+) and MG(Vector) were grown in GM17 medium containing 500 mg/mL erythromycin at 30°C. Cell cultures at OD600 1.0 were harvested by centrifugation at 4°C for 10 min. The cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS buffer, resuspended in the same buffer and disrupted ultrasonically at 4°C for 99 cycles of 3 s each. The cell extract was obtained after centrifugation at 4°C for 10 min to remove cellular debris. The protein concentration was determined according to the Bradford method using bovine serum albumin as the standard. For protein analysis, the cell extract was mixed with a five-fold concentrated buffer; after being heated at 100°C for 10 min, a 15-μL aliquot of each sample was subjected to 12% SDS-PAGE. The proteins in the gel were transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Buckinghamshire, England) and incubated with a rabbit anti-PprI polyclonal antibody (rabbit IgG, laboratory stock). Chemiluminescent signals on the PVDF membrane were visualized and quantified using a Gel Imager System (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) [12 (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.
