For in vitro, BMDM supernatants were denatured in loading buffer containing RIPA buffer, protease inhibitor, and LDS sample buffer (4x). Next, all samples were boiled and subjected to 4–12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) gel. The SDS-PAGE-separated proteins, transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, were immunoblotted with primary antibodies IL-1β (1:500; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), caspase 1 p20 (1:500; clone 4B4, Genentech, San Francisco, CA, USA), caspase 8 (1:1000; cell singling #8592), and beta actin (1:5000; ab8227).

Frozen hearts were pulverized and solubilized in homogenization buffer (1% Digitonin, 0.05% NP-40, 150 mM NaCl, and 50 mM Tris, pH 7.4) in the presence of proteases inhibitor cocktail (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN) [33 (link)]. The following procedures were performed at 4°C. Homogenates were solubilized by gentle shaking for 1 h, centrifuged at 16,100xg for 99 min and the supernatant was pre-cleared with protein G agarose beads (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA) for 1h. Protein concentration of the homogenate was adjusted (0.8 μg protein/μl) and antibody against dystrophin (Abcam, ab15277) was added. Following an overnight incubation, protein G agarose beads were added for 1 h, washed in the homogenization buffer without digitonin and proteins were eluted by boiling with reducing sample buffer for western blot analysis. Control (data not shown) immunoprecipitations without addition of anti-dystrophin antibody or in the presence of unrelated antibody were performed to determine specificity of the interaction. Furthermore, each an immunoprecipitation reaction blot was probed for the presence of α-actinin, which was present in the homogenates but absent from the eluted fractions.

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.
