The treated SH-SY5Y cells were lysed to extract the proteins using RIPA lysis and extraction buffer (Thermo Fisher). Nuclear proteins were extracted using Cytoplasmic And Nuclear Protein Extraction Kit (BosterBio, USA). 5 µg of total protein was loaded into 8% of sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel and separated by electrophoresis. The separated protein was transferred from the gels to the PVDF membranes and the PVDF membranes were blocked by 5% of fat-free milk for 1 h at room temperature. The proper primary antibodies were used to probe the target proteins overnight at 4°C followed by incubating the membrane with proper secondary antibodies (ThermoFisher) for 2 h at room temperature. The strength of protein signal was detected using SignalFire™ ECL Reagent (CST, USA). The primary antibodies used in this study were: BACH1 (sc-271211, 1:1,000 dilution), NRF2 (ab137550, 1:1,000 dilution), Lamin B2 (ab233530, 1:800 dilution), and β-actin (ab8227, 1:5,000 dilution).

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.
