Protein expressions of PKC-α, PKC-δ, p-PKC-α, p-PKC-δ, MLCK, MLC-2, and p-MLC-2 were detected by Western blotting analysis. Total protein extraction kit (Beyotime, China) and BCA protein assay kit (Sigma, USA) were used to extract the total protein in aorta and measure the protein concentrations. The total proteins were fractionated using 10% SDS-PAGE, transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes, and then blocked for 3 h with 5% skimmed milk. After incubation with special antibodies (diluted at 1:1,000, including 5% BSA TBS-T, rabbit anti-β-actin, anti-PKC-δ, anti-PKC-α, anti-p-PKC-δ, and anti-p-PKC-α, Cell Signaling, USA; anti-MLCK, anti-MLC-2, and anti-p-MLC-2, Abcam, China) at 4°C for 14 h, corresponding HRP labeled secondary antibodies (diluted at 1:4,000) were added and incubated at 37°C for 3 h. Enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) reagent (Beyotime, China) was added to determine the protein expression levels, and Azure Bio-imaging systems (California, USA) were used to capture the images. FluorChem FC2 AIC system (Alpha, USA) was used for quantitative analysis. The internal control used was β-actin.

The peritoneum samples of the piglets were collected, dissociated by RIPA lysis buffer supplemented with protease inhibitor mixture and centrifuged at 12,000 g for 15 min at 4 °C. The total protein was measured with BCA protein extraction kit (Beyotime). Subsequently, samples with the same amount of protein (80 μg) were fractionated using 10% SDS-PAGE and then transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. After blocked with 5% skimmed milk for 3 h, the PVDF membranes were incubated with special primary antibody (containing 5% BSA TBS-T solution, 1:1000 dilution, rabbit anti-β-actin, anti-PKC-α, anti-p-PKC-α, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA; anti-MLCK, anti-MLC-2 and anti-p-MLC-2, Abcam, Shanghai, China) at 4 °C overnight, and then incubated with the corresponding HRP labeled secondary antibodies (1:4000 dilution) at 37 °C for 3 h. Protein level was determined using the enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) reagent (Beyotime) and the images were captured with a ChemiDoc MP Imaging System (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Quantitative analysis was carried out using FluorChem FC2 (Alpha Innotech, San Leandro, CA, USA). The β-actin was used as the inner loading control.

Human tissue arrays were obtained from Folio (Catalogue number: FOLIO-800). Deparaffinization of tissue slides was performed at 60°C for 1 hr. After 10 min of cooling, tissues were hydrated in two separate baths of xylene for 5 minute each, followed by a bath in 2% hydrogen peroxide/methanol solution for 30 minutes and finally incubated in 3 different concentrations of ethanol solutions (100%, 95%, 70%). After neutralizing in water, antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH 6) at 100–120°C for 10 minutes. Sections were cooled at 4°C for 30 min and subsequently blocked using 5% BSA/Tris buffer solution/ 0.1% Tween (TBST) for 30 min at room temperature. Blocked tissues were incubated with unconjugated primary antibody overnight: anti-EGFR (E746-A750del Specific) or anti-PKCα (Cell Signaling), both diluted 1:50 in block solution. Tissues were washed for 5 min 3x with TBST and incubated with conjugated secondary antibody (Biocare MACH 3 Rabbit HRP). Sections were then washed and counterstained with nuclear stain and mounted in Vectashield mounting medium (Vector Labs). Microscopy was performed using a Zeiss microscope. Optical density (OD) for PKCα staining were calculated by ImageJ software version 2 (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/).

Western blots were done essentially as previously described66 (link). Briefly, A549 cells were harvested in lysis buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 10% glycerol, and 2% β-mercaptoethanol. Cell lysates were subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA). After blocking with 5% milk or 5% BSA in Tris-buffered saline/0.1% Tween for 1 h, membranes were incubated overnight with the following primary antibodies: anti-PKCα, anti-PKCδ, anti-PKCε (all from Cell Signaling, 1:1,000 dilution, Catalog #2056, #2058, and #2083, respectively), vinculin (Sigma-Aldrich, 1:5,000, catalog #V9131) or β-actin (Sigma-Aldrich, 1:50,000 dilution, catalog #A5441). Membranes were then incubated for 1 h with either anti-mouse (1:1,000 dilution) or anti-rabbit (1:3,000 dilution) secondary antibodies conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA). Bands were visualized and subjected to densitometric analysis using an Odyssey Fc system (LI-COR Biotechnology, Lincoln, NE).

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.
