Retina tissue was homogenized in 30 mM of Tris-HCl lysis buffer (pH 7.5) containing 10 mM EGTA, 5 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 250 mM sucrose, 1 mM NaF, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 1 mM Na3VO4, and protease inhibitor. Protein (150µg) was incubated overnight at 4 °C with 2 µg of the anti-S100A4 antibody and the normal rabbit IgG control antibody (Cat. No. AB-105-C, R&D Systems). Prewashed protein A/G plus agarose beads (20 μl of bead slurry; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) were then added to the mixture and rolled for 1 h at 4 °C. After centrifugation, immunoprecipitates were washed 4X with lysis buffer. After the last wash, the resultant pellets were resuspended in 20 μl of 2X Laemmli’s sample buffer and then denatured for 5 min at 95 °C, separated by gel electrophoresis, and transferred to polyvinyl difluoride membranes. This was followed by immunoblotting with an anti-RAGE antibody (1:500; sc-5563; Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc.) and detection with chemiluminescence plus a Luminol HRP substrate. To evaluate the lane-loading control, the blots were stripped and the S100A4 protein was detected with the anti-S100A4 antibody.

Detection of RAGE Protein Expression

Cells were analyzed for human FL-RAGE expression by WB as already described [35] (link) using a goat polyclonal antibody against the extracellular domain of human RAGE (α-RAGE N-term1, 1 µg/ml; cat. AF1145, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) that recognizes rat RAGE as well. For detection of RAGE in rat lung and R3/1 cells lysates two additional different rabbit polyclonal antibodies against the extracellular (α-RAGE N-term2, 0.4 µg/ml; cat. sc-5563, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, California, USA) and the intracellular (α-RAGE C-term, 1 µg/ml; cat. ab3611, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) domains of human RAGE were used. Both antibodies recognize rat RAGE as well.
The membranes were blocked in TBST (10 mM Tris, pH 7.4; 0.5 mM NaCl; 0.1% Tween 20) containing 5% powdered skimmed milk for 1 hour (h) at rt. The blots were first probed with the indicated primary antibodies diluted in TBST with 5% powdered skimmed milk over night at 4°C, and then with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit (1∶5000; cat. NA9340V, GE Healthcare) or anti-goat (1∶5000; cat. sc-2020, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) secondary antibodies. Proteins were visualized by an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) detection system (cat. RPN2106, GE Healthcare). An antibody agaist GAPDH (0.4 µg/ml; cat. sc-25778, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) was used on the same membranes after stripping and served as loading control.

All reagents for cell culture, GLP-1-(7 (link)–36 (link)) amide, Hoechst 33258 and apocynin (NADPH oxidase inhibitor) were purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). The Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) apoptosis detection kit was purchased from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA, USA). The cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), ROS and superoxide anion assay kits were purchased from the Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology (Jiangsu, China). Rabbit anti-p47phox (SC-14015), rabbit anti-p22phox (SC-20781), β-actin (SC-47778), and primary antibodies against RAGE (SC-5563), p53 (SC-126), Bax (SC-23959) and exendin(9 (link)–39 (link)) (SC-364387), the antagonist for receptor of GLP-1 (GLP-1R), were all purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. (Delaware, CA, USA). The caspase-3 and caspase-9 activity assay kits were obtained from BD Biosciences (Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA).

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.
