Secondary antibodies (Jackson Immunoresearch) included anti-rabbit TRITC (711-025-152), anti-rabbit FITC (711-095-152), anti-rabbit Cy5 (711-175-152), anti-mouse TRITC, anti-mouse FITC (715-095-151), anti-mouse Cy5 (715-175-150), anti-rat TRITC (715-025-150), anti-rat FITC (715-095-150), anti-rat Cy5 (711-175-150), and anti-chicken Cy5 (703-495-155). The ApopTag fluorescein direct in situ kit (Millipore; catalogue#: S7160) was used to label apoptotic cells. Nuclei were visualized using DAPI (4′,6-diamidine-2-phenylidole-dihydrochloride, Invitrogen; Slowfade Gold Antifade Reagent with DAPI; catalogue#: S36938) and fluorescence visualized using a Zeiss AxioImager II microscope.

Equal amount of whole cell lysates, nuclear fraction, cytoplasmic fraction, and membrane fraction from cells of different treatment groups were used for Western blotting as we previously described [26 (link)]. The primary antibodies were against Sam68 (1:1000, Santa Cruz, sc-333), P-IKKαβ (1:100, Cell Signaling, 9958s), IKKβ (1:100, Cell Signaling, 2684s), P-IkBα (1:100, Cell Signaling, 2859S), p-NFκB p65 Antibody (Ser 276) (1:1000, Santa Cruz, sc-101749), Lamin A (1:1000, Santa Cruz, sc-20680), FiLamin A (1:1000, Abcam, ab3261), TRAF2 (1: 250, Santa Cruz, sc-876) , IL-1β (1:1000, Cell Signaling, 31202S), IL-6 (1:1000, Cell Signaling, 12912T),NF-κB p65 (1:1000, Cell Signaling, 8242T) and β-Actin (1:1000, Abcam, ab8227).

Western Blot Analysis of Mouse Testis Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole mouse testes were disrupted in 1 ml of Tissue PE lysis buffer (G Biosciences) and protease cocktail inhibitor (Sigma) using Qiagen TissueLyser. After protein quantification with appropriate standards (Biorad DC Protein Assay), 10 μg protein extract was separated using SDS-PAGE. Gels were electroblotted onto Immobilon-P membranes (Millipore) using semi-dry transfer (Bio-Rad Trans-Blot SD®). Non-specific binding was blocked using 5% w/v non-fat dried milk diluted in Phosphate Buffered Saline plus 0.05% Tween-20 (PBS-T). Primary antibodies were mouse monoclonal against β-actin at [1:5000], filamin A [1:1000], paraspeckle protein-1 [1:1000] (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) and SPATA-20 [1:1000] (Atlas Antibodies). All membrane washes were undertaken with PBS-T. Peroxidase-labelled rabbit anti-mouse and goat anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (Dako, Ely, UK) were used at 1:2000. Membranes were incubated with Luminata Forte Western HRP substrate for 10 min (Millipore) followed by detection of chemiluminescence and photo acquisition (Fusion Solo, Vilber).

Protein Expression Analysis of Abdominal Aortic Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Abdominal aortic tissue lysates were extracted in radioimmunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer, and protein content was measured using a Bradford assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Protein extracts (20–30 μg) were resolved by SDS-PAGE (6.0 or 7.5 % wt/vol) and transferred electrophoretically to PVDF membranes (Millipore). After blocking with non-dry fat milk (5 % wt/vol), membranes were probed with primary antibodies. The following antibodies were used (please see Major Resources Table in the Data Supplement): calpain-1 domain IV (Abcam, catalog No: ab39170), calpain-2 (Abcam, catalog No: ab39165), filamin A (Abcam, catalog No: ab76289), talin (Abcam, catalog No: ab71333), α-spectrin (Millipore, catalog No: MAB1622), ILK-1 (Cell Signaling, catalog No:3862), FAK (Cell Signaling, catalog No:3009), vinculin (Abcam, catalog No: ab73412), paxillin (Abcam, catalog No: ab32264), collagen (Abcam, catalog No: ab34710), elastin (Abcam, catalog No: ab217356), calnexin (Enzo, catalog No: ADI-SPA-860-F) and β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich, catalog No: A5441). Membranes were incubated with appropriate HRP-labeled secondary antibodies. Immune complexes were visualized by chemiluminescence (Pierce, Rockford, IL) and quantified using a Kodak Imager.

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.
