Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CCG-1423, anti-NF-E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), and anti-importin β1 antibodies were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA). Jasplakinolide (Jasp) and latrunculin B (LatB) were purchased ftom Caymen Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI). Other antibodies used in this study were anti-Flag M2 affinity gel (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), anti-HA affinity matrix and anti-HA (3F10) antibody (Roche Applied Science, Mannheim, Germany), and anti-DYKDDDDK (anti-Flag) antibody (Trans Genic, Kobe, Japan). Secondary antibodies and phalloidin were conjugated to Alexa 568 (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR). We produced a polyclonal antibody against MRTF-A. In brief, a peptide consisting of amino acids 714–728 of mouse MRTF-A (MAL met; GenBank accession number: BC050941.1) was injected into a rabbit, and the antiserum was subjected to affinity purification.

Twenty six hours post-transfection, HeLa cell protein lysates were prepared and analyzed by immunoblotting as described (Subramanian et al., 2015 (link)). Antibodies were used with the following concentrations: anti-GAPDH (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc, Dallas, TX), 1:5000; anti-importin β1 (Santa Cruz), 1:2000; anti-importin 4 (Santa Cruz), 1:333; anti-importin 5 (Santa Cruz), 1:10,000; anti-importin 7 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA), 1:1000; anti-importin 8 (Abcam), 1:250; anti-importin 9 (Abcam), 1:250; anti-importin 11 (Abcam), 1:333; anti-importin 13 (Santa Cruz), 1:100; anti-importin α1 (Santa Cruz), 1:2000; anti-importin α3 (Thermo Scientific), 0.2 μg/ml; horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG (GE Healthcare Life Sciences), 1:25,000; HRP-sheep anti-mouse IgG (GE Healthcare Life Sciences), 1:25,000; or HRP-mouse anti-goat IgG (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), 1:25,000. Protein size was confirmed using Pre-Stained Kaleidoscope Protein Standards (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). X-ray films were quantified by scanning densitometry using NIH ImageJ software.

Cell Line Characterization and Validation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LNCaP, 22Rv1, and COS-7 cells were obtained from American Type Culture Collection. With the exception of drug-resistant lines, cells used in this study were within 20 passages (∼3 months of non-continuous culturing). All cell lines were tested and authenticated by the method of short tandem repeat profiling. Docetaxel, cabazitaxel, and paclitaxel were purchased from Selleck Chemicals (Houston, TX). Nocodazole was from Sigma Aldrich, and KX-01 was provided by Kinex Pharmaceuticals. The following antibodies were used in Western blot analysis: anti-GAPDH, anti-AR (N-terminus-directed, PG-21; Millipore), anti-importin β1, anti-β-actin (Santa Cruz), anti-p53 (Calbiochem), anti-histone H3 (Cell Signaling), and anti-AR-V7 (Precision Antibody).

Importin Knockdown and Subcellular Localization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Knockdown of importin β1, importin 7, and importin 8, compared to scrambled control shRNA, and protein compartment analysis was done by western blot as previously described 25 . Briefly, 786-0 cells in 6-well plates were transfected with sets of four shRNA plasmids (SABioscience, Frederick, MD) and lysed 24 hours post-transfection. Antibodies were used with the following concentrations: anti-GAPDH (Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc, Dallas, TX), 1:5000; anti-importin β1 (Santa Cruz), 1:2000; anti-importin 7, 1:1000; anti-importin 8, 1:250 (both Abcam, Cambridge, MA). Independent replicates of each importin knockdown were completed from different cultures across different days.

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.
