The total protein content was determined using a BCA kit (Solarbio, Beijing, China). After centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 10 min, the supernatants were harvested for the measurement of protein concentration. The protein was isolated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) (Solarbio, Beijing, China) and then transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Solarbio, Beijing, China). The membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat dry milk and incubated overnight at 4 °C with anti-caspase-3, anti-caspase-9, anti-Nrf2, anti-NQO1, anti-HO-1, anti-NF-κB p65, and anti-actin. Following that, the membranes were washed with tris-buffered saline and Tween 20 (TBST) buffer. The secondary antibody was added to the membranes. The blots were detected with an ECL detection kit (Solarbio, Beijing, China). Actin was served as a loading control.

Membranes with transferred proteins were incubated with the primary antibody anti-pNRF2 (phosphoSer40, 1:5000, Abcam), anti-NRF2 (1:1000, Abcam) or anti-vinculin (1:10,000). The primary antibody incubation was followed by incubation with peroxidase conjugated to the secondary antibody (anti-rabbit, 1:10,000). A chemiluminescence reaction using the ECL Plus kit (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) was detected using G: BOX iChemi system (Syngene, Cambridge, UK).

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.
