Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
siRNA duplexes targeting COX7RP, OGDH, DLST, DLD, MDH1, and MDH2 were synthesized using an algorithm that significantly improves the target specificity of siRNA, in particular, by efficiently estimating off-target sequences48 (link). A non-targeting control siRNA (siControl) used in this study was purchased from RNAi Inc. (Tokyo, Japan)48 (link). The siRNA sequences were detailed in Supplementary Table 9. siRNAs were transfected into cells using RNAiMAX (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cell lysates and mitochondrial fractions were prepared in a sample buffer for sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), heated at 100 °C for 15 min, and subjected to SDS-PAGE and western blotting analysis using antibodies for COX7RP (1:1000 dilution)2, RISP (1:5000 dilution, ab14746, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), COX1 (1:5000 dilution, ab14705, Abcam), COX4 (1:3000 dilution, 4844, Cell signaling, Danvers, MA), and β-actin (1:3000 dilution, AC-74, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO).

Mitochondria were isolated from cells by differential centrifugation and then resuspended in 10 μl of a buffer containing 50 mm Bis-Tris and 1 m 6-aminocaproic acid2 (link),54 (link). Digitonin (digitonin/protein ratio of 4 g g−1) was added to solubilize the mitochondria. After a 30 min incubation at 4 °C, the samples were centrifuged at 22,000 × g and the solubilized proteins were obtained from the supernatant. The solubilized proteins were then supplemented with 1 μl of sample buffer (5% Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 in 0.5 m 6-aminocaproic acid). BN-PAGE was performed as described previously2 (link) and subsequent immunoblotting was performed according to standard protocols. The blots were probed with anti-NDUFA9 (1:5000 dilution, 459100, Invitrogen), anti-RISP (1:5000 dilution, ab14746, Abcam), anti-COX1 (1:5,000 dilution, ab14705, Abcam), Fp70 (1:5000 dilution, 459200, Invitrogen), and anti-COX7RP antibodies (1:3000 dilution)2. Signal intensities for mitochondrial respiratory complexes and supercomplexes were quantified by normalization with their corresponding Fp70 using triplicated western blot analysis.

Immunoblot analysis was used to assess protein levels of subunits of complexes I, III and IV, and subunits of F0F1-ATPase in renal cortical mitochondria using 20 μg of mitochondrial protein, as described previously [57 (link),61 (link)]. Antibodies against NDUFA9, NDUFS3, and NDUFB7 subunits of complex I (Cat #A21344, A21343, and 21359) were purchased from Molecular Probes/ThermoFisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). Antibodies against α- and γ-subunits of F0F1-ATPase (Cat #ab14748 and #ab119686, respectively) and the core protein 1 (UQCRC1), core protein 2 (UQCRC2), and Rieske protein subunits of complex III (Cat #ab110252, #ab14745, and #ab14746, respectively) were supplied by Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA). Antibodies against β-subunit of F0F1-ATPase (Cat #A21351) were supplied by Life Technologies Corporation (Carlsbad, CA, USA). Cytochrome oxidase subunit I antibody was supplied by Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA, Cat #sc-58347). Citrate synthase levels served as the loading control using the citrate synthase antibody (Cat #D7V8B) supplied by Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, 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.
