Total protein was extracted from RAW264.7 macrophages and primary peritoneal macrophages using radio immunoprecipitation lysis buffer (RIPA, Solarbio, Beijing, China) supplemented with phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and phosphatase inhibitors (Solarbio, Beijing, China). The protein was collected, and its concentration was measured using a Pierce BCA protein assay kit (Thermo, Rockford, IL, USA). Equal amounts of proteins were separated by electrophoresis on SDS-PAGE gels and subsequently transferred onto PVDF membranes. Blocking was with TBST containing non-fat milk powder, the membranes were incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies. The primary antibodies against NRF2, p-AKT, AKT, iNOS (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), and HO-1, NQO-1, COX-2, p-GSK-3β, GSK-3β, p-AMPK-α1, AMPK-α1, p-ERK, EKR, p-JNK, JNK, p-P38, P38, p-NF-κB p65, NF-κB p65, and GAPDH (ABclonal, Wuhan, China) were diluted to a ratio of 1:2000. Before adding secondary antibodies (goat anti-rabbit or goat anti-mouse) diluted to a concentration of 1:10,000 (ABclonal, Wuhan, China), the membranes were washed four times with TBST for 15 min each time. Membranes were visualized using an Amersham Imager 600 (a gel imaging system from GE Co., Fairfield, CT, USA) after applying enhanced chemiluminescence.

Cells were treated the same as 4.5. and then washed twice with ice-cold PBS and were lysed in RIPA buffer (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) after the treatment with metformin or/and EGCG co-cultured with MG. The Supernatant was collected, and concentration was determined by BCA protein assay kit (Solarbio, Beijing, China). The same amounts of proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred onto PVDF membranes (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk for 2 h at room temperature, followed by overnight incubation at 4 °C with primary antibodies Bcl-2 (12789-1-AP, Proteintech), Bax (50599-2-Ig, Proteintech), Caspase-3 (A11040, ABclonal), Cytochrome C (A4912, ABclonal), GSK-3β (A2081, ABclonal), BACE-1 (AF6273, Beyotime), APP (A17911, ABclonal), and β-actin (AC038, ABclonal). The membranes were washed with 1% TBST three times, and then incubated with secondary antibodies (1:3000 dilution) for 1 h at room temperature. Finally, the bands were visualized using an ECL kit (Tanon, Shanghai, China).

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.
