After treatmenting with ZnO NPs, cells were washed twice with PBS, and then RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime, Haimen, China) with protease inhibitor and phosphatase inhibitors was added to extract the protein. The bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay (Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit; Thermo Fisher Scientifc, USA) was used to determine protein concentration. An equal amount of protein was separated using 8% SDS-PAGE. The proteins were transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) and blocked with TBST containing 5% skim milk for 1 h at room temperature and then incubated overnight at 4 °C with specific antibodies including: anti-P2X7 (1:1000, abcam), NF-κB p65, phospho-NF-κB p65, p44/42 MAPK, phospho- p44/42 MAPK, p38 MAPK, phospho-p38 MAPK (1:1000, CST) and GAPDH (1:1000, Proteintech, USA). The blots were then washed by TBST, exposed to HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:1000, CST, USA) for 1 h, and the antigen-antibody complex was detected with chemiluminescent HRP substrate (Millipore) by a chemiluminescence measuring instrument (Tanon 5200, Shanghai, China).

The following antibodies were employed for western blotting: anti-P2X7 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-collagen II (Abcam), anti-MMP13 (Abcam), anti-IL-1β (Abcam), anti-NF-κB p65 (Cell Signaling Technology (CST), Danvers, MA, USA), anti-p-NF-κB p65 (CST), anti-NLRP3 (Proteintech Group, Chicago, IL, USA), anti-caspase-1 (Proteintech Group), anti-GAPDH (Proteintech Group), and HRP-labeled IgG (Beyotime Biotech, Shanghai, China). Primary chondrocyte cultures were treated with MIA (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), P2X7R antagonist A740003 (Sigma-Aldrich), P2X7R agonist BzATP (Sigma-Aldrich), NF-κB inhibitor Bay 11-7082 (Sigma-Aldrich), and NLRP3 inhibitor CY-09 (Sigma-Aldrich).

After being inoculated into a 6-well plate and treated with drugs for 24 h, the cells were disintegrated in a RIPA lysis buffer to extract total proteins, and the lysates were centrifuged at 4°C at a speed of 12000 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant was harvested and preserved at -20°C. After diluting with a sample buffer and heating to 95°C for 10 min, samples containing equal amounts of proteins (20 mg) were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel (10%) electrophoresis, using a electrophoresis set-up (Bio-Rad Company, USA), and afterwards transferred onto a PVDF membrane. The chemiluminescent signals were observed using the multifunctional gel imaging system, and the band intensity was quantified in Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software (Media Cybernetics, USA). The primary antibodies included rabbit polyclonal anti-P2X 7 (Abcam, UK; 1:1000 dilution), rabbit polyclonal anti-P65 (CST, USA; 1:1000 dilution), and β-actin (Beijing Zhongshan Biotech Co. 1:800 dilution). The secondary antibody was goat anti-rabbit IgG (Beijing Zhongshan Biotech Co.). Band densities were normalized to each β-actin internal control.

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.
