Cells were lysed using a RIPA buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) with 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate in the presence of proteinase inhibitor cocktail (Complete mini; Roche). Then the protein concentration was measured using a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime). Twenty-five micrograms of protein were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE mini gels and then transferred onto a PVDF membrane (Immobilon P -SQ ;Millipore, Billerica, MA). After blocking with 5% nonfat milk, the membranes were incubated with primary anti-RhoA (1:1000, Abcam), anti-ROCK1 (1:1000,Abcam) or anti-actin (1:5000, Epitomics, Burlingame, CA) at 4°C overnight, followed by incubated with HRP-labeled secondary antibodies (anti-rabbit IgG, 1:10000, KPL, Gaithersburg, MA) for 1 h at room temperature. Finally, the band signals were developed with Super Signal West Pico chemoluminescent substrate (Pierce, Rockford, IL), visualized by the GeneGnome HR Image Capture System (Syngene, Frederick, MD) and analyzed by Gene tools (Syngene).

The primary antibodies, including anti-caspase-3, anti-caspase-9, anti-Nrf2, anti-NQO1, anti-HO-1, anti-NF-κB p65, and anti-actin, were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). After 24 h of reperfusion, the rat brain samples were homogenized, washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and then lysed with radio immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer. 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.

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.
