Total protein of rat liver tissue in each group was extracted using radioimmunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer. The protein concentration was determined using a bicinchoninic acid protein concentration quantification kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). Denatured proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. The membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat dry milk in tris-buffered saline containing 0.05% Tween 20 or 1–3% bovine serum albumin and probed with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. The primary antibodies used included IRS-1, Akt (1 : 1000 dilution, Proteintech Inc., Wuhan, China), p-IRS-1 (1 : 1000 dilution, Cell Signaling, USA), p-AktSer473 (1 : 2000 dilution, Abcam, USA), and β-actin (1 : 200 dilution, Boster Biological Technology Co.

All the BMSCs lysates were acquired by adding RIPA lysis buffer, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. Protein concentrations were determined using the BCA Protein Assay kit. We used 10% or 8% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to separate approximately 20 μg of protein extracts, and then transferred them to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. After blocking the PVDF with milk, we incubated it overnight at 4 °C with the primary antibody. PVDF was washed three times with TBST, and then incubated with goat anti-rabbit antibody for 1 hour, followed by its exposure. Primary antibodies (Rabbit anti Mouse) of RUNX2, p-GSK3βser9, β-catenin were acquired from Cell Signaling Technology, USA; Akt, p-Aktser473, TP63, PTEN, GSK3β from Abcam, UK; β-actin and GAPDH from Cohesion Biosciences, 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.
