Immunoblotting Analysis of Protein Targets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Proteins extracts were subjected to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electrotransfer to PVDF membranes. The membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat milk and then probed with the indicated antibodies in TBS-Tween, 5% (w/v) non-fat dry milk overnight at 4°C. Antibodies used were against 2H8 anti-turboGFP (Origene, TA150041, 1:2000), anti-turboRFP clone OTI2D9 (Origene, TA150061, 1:1000), anti-Gapdh (Sigma, G9545, 1:2000), anti-RARA(c-20) (Santa Cruz, sc-551, 1:50), anti-RARB(C-19) (Santa Cruz, sc-552, 1:50), anti-RARG(C-19) (Santa Cruz, sc-550; 1:50), and β-tubulin (Sigma, T3952, 1:2000).

Irradiation and Pharmacological Modulation of Stemness

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were first irradiated with 4 Gy and then treated with 10 μM RO4929097, 10 μM TMZ as well as their combination. 4 days post-treatment total cell lysate was prepared using SDS lysis buffer. Lysates were blotted onto a PVDF-membrane. Membranes were probed overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies and bound antibodies were visualized using HRP-linked secondary antibodies (Cell-Signaling) and ECL Luminescence (Pierce Biotechnology). Anti-SOX2 (ab75485, Abcam), anti-Nestin (ab6320, Abcam), anti-beta-tubulin III (T3952, Sigma-Aldrich), and anti-Lamin A/C (Sigma-Aldrich) were used at 1:1000 dilution.

Mouse brains were homogenized in RIPA buffer supplemented with sodium fluoride (2 mM), sodium orthovanadate (1 mM), sodium pyrophosphate (1 mM), β-glycerophosphate (2.5 mM), PMSF (1 mM), DTT (1 mM) and protein inhibitor cocktail (Roche; Basel, Switzerland). The primary antibodies that were used in this study are phospho-AktS473 (1:1000; D9E, #4060; Cell Signaling Technology; Danvers, MA), total Akt (1:1000; #9272; Cell Signaling Technology), phospho-Erk1T202/204/Erk2T183/Y185 (1:1000; sc-16982; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX), total Erk1/2 (1:1000; C16, sc-93; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and β–tubulin (1:1000; T3952; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Goat-anti-rabbit-HRP (1:2000; DAKO, Santa Clara, CA) was used a secondary antibody.

Immunostaining of Retina and Optic Nerve

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Retina and optic nerves were fixed with 4% PFA for 2 h at RT. Blocking solution was made with PBS including 10% normal goat serum and 0.3% TX-100. The primary and secondary antibodies were diluted in blocking solution and incubated at 4°C for overnight. Antibodies include mouse anti-Brn3a (1:100, Santa Cruz, Sc-8429), rabbit anti-Iba1 (1:1,000, Wako, 019–19741), mouse anti-CC1 (1:500, Millipore Sigma-Aldrich, OP80), and mouse (BioLegend, 801202) or rabbit (Millipore Sigma-Aldrich, T3952) anti-TUJ1 (1:1,000). The following day, Alexa Fluor–conjugated secondary antibodies were incubated for 2 h at RT (Table S1). Tissue samples were mounted in Vectashield (with DAPI) for visualization with a Leica DMI4000B microscope under confocal settings. For the 16-µm tissue sections of retina or optic nerve (Fig. S1), a cryostat (Leica CM1860) was used.

Spinal Cord Tissue Preparation and Staining

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anesthetized mice were transcardially perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4. Spinal cords were dissected and postfixed overnight in the same fixative at 4 • C. The fixed tissues were cryoprotected successively in 10 % and 20 % sucrose in PBS overnight at 4 • C, embedded in OCT compound, and sectioned axially or sagittally at 50 m or 20 m on a cryostat, respectively. Tissue sections were stained with primary antibodies to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (1:500, Z0334, DAKO, Carpinteria, CA, RRID: AB 10013382), Laminin (1:500, L9393, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, RRID: AB 477163), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) (1:200, 1338, ImmunoStar, Hudson, WI, RRID: AB 572263), NeuN (1:500, MAB377, Millipore, Billerica, MA, RRID: AB 2298772), ChAT (1:500, AB144 P, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, RRID: AB 2079751), ␤-tubulin III (1:500, T3952, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, RRID: AB 1841226). The sections were then incubated with Alexa Fluor-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:500, Biotium, Fremont, CA). Nuclei were stained with Hoechst (bisbenzimide H33258 fluorochrome trihydrochloride, Nacalai Tesque).

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.
