HL‐60 and NB4 cells (~3 × 106) were washed, detached and suspended in cell lysis buffer for 30 min on ice. Cell lysates were collected, and 10% of the cell lysates were used as the input. The remaining lysates were aliquoted into two parts for IP with rabbit anti‐human Bmal1 (3 μg, Abcam) and an isotype control IgG (3 μg, Abcam). Samples were incubated at 4°C overnight, and Protein A/G Magnetic Beads were added and incubated for 2 h. Magnetic beads were washed, and immunoprecipitated complexes were recovered and subjected to western blotting to detect Bmal1 (1:1000, Abcam) and EZH2 (1:1000, Abcam).

Frozen liver tissue was homogenized with in ice-cold RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl, pH7.4, 1% Nonidet P-40, 1% Sodium deoxycholate, 0.15 M NaCl) supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Roche, Indianapolis, IN) on ice. The supernatant was collected after centrifugation at 4°C, 12,000×g for 10 minutes. Proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel followed by transfer to PVDF membranes. Target proteins were detected with the following specific monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies: Actin (MP Biomedicals, Solon, OH); Bmal1 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA); Psmd9 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). Grp78, Pdi, Sirt3 and LC3 from Cell signaling (Danvers, MA). Actin was quantified as a loading control. Images were analyzed by Imagelab software (Bio-rad, Hercules, CA). Data were expressed as means ± standard error of the mean (SEM).

Autophagy Flux Quantification Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Proteins were quantified by immunoblotting using rabbit antibodies against LC3B, ULK1 (Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA, USA), PER2 (Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) and BMAL1 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK). Gel loading was equalized according to protein content of the samples and controlled by amido black staining of the blotted membranes or parallel immune staining using rabbit and mouse beta-Actin or rabbit Calnexin antibodies (Sigma Aldrich, Martinsried, Germany). Western blots were developed with Peroxidase-coupled secondary antibodies. Chemo-luminescence was quantified with a digital camera system (LAS 4000, Fuji, Düsseldorf, Germany). Autophagy flux was determined according to current guidelines by treating cells with chloroquine (50 μM, 3 h) or bafilomycin (10 nM, 3 h) prior to the analysis of LC3-II protein levels. Autophagic flux values were calculated by subtracting LC3-II levels in untreated cells from LC3-II levels in cells treated with the lysosome inhibitors Chloroquine or Bafilomycin [16 (link)].

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.
