At 24 h p.i., virus-infected cells were washed with PBS and lysed using M-PER buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) containing 0.5% protease inhibitor cocktail (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). The cell lysates were clarified by centrifugation, and the total protein content was determined by the Bradford assay (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Equal amounts of protein were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and electro-transferred to a PVDF membrane. Viral proteins were detected using primary antibodies specific for DENV NS3, DENV E, DENV prM, ZIKV E, and ZIKV prM followed by a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-mouse or anti-rabbit secondary antibody. As a loading control, cellular β-actin was detected with an anti-β-actin-specific primary antibody and HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibody. After the addition of a chemiluminescent HRP substrate (SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate; Pierce), images were obtained using a LAS-4000 Luminescent Image Analyzer (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan).

Mouse-tissue protein extracts were subjected to immunoblot analysis with specific antibodies against phospho-AMPK, AMPK, PPARα, C/EBPα (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), FABP4 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), and GAPDH (Bioss Antibodies, Boston, MA, USA) for the analysis of phosphorylated or total protein expression. GAPDH served as a loading control. Tissue proteins were fractionated by electrophoresis on 10% or 12% SDS-PAGE gels and transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. The membranes were blotted with antibodies specific for each protein. Protein expression was determined using an Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) and LAS-4000 Luminescent-Image Analyzer (Fuji Photo Film, Tokyo, Japan). The intensities of the detected bands were quantified using Fujifilm Image MultiGauge (Fuji Photo Film, Tokyo, Japan).

Total proteins were extracted from wild-type and Human BAC2 Tg mouse brains and separated by 10% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Proteins were transferred to PVDF membrane (Millipore IPVH00010) with AE-6687 HorizeBLOT system (ATTO). Primary antibodies and dilutions used were rabbit anti-Moesin (Msn, 1:1000, Cell Signaling 3146) and rabbit anti-GAPDH (14C10, 1:2000, Cell Signaling 2118). Secondary antibody was anti-rabbit IgG, horseradish peroxidase-linked (GE Healthcare NA9340V) diluted 1:5000. Signal bands were detected by using ECL Prime Western Blotting Detection Regent (GE Healthcare RPN2232) and images were captured on LAS-4000 Luminescent Image Analyzer (Fujifilm). Total density of each Msn and Gapdh protein band was determined with ImageJ (version: 2.0.0) software. For each sample, the ratio of Msn to Gapdh total density was calculated. Msn-to-Gapdh ratios were analyzed by Student’s t test for comparison of wild-type to Human BAC2 Tg brain samples (n = 3 for each brain regions).

Immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting were performed as previously described [15] (link). Briefly, cells were harvested after washing with ice-cold phosphate buffered saline and lysed in an ice-cold lysis buffer. Immunoprecipitation was performed by incubating cell lysates with an appropriate primary antibody for 16 hours at 4°C. Immunoprecipitated complexes were then pulled down using protein G-Sepharose beads (GE Healthcare). Cell lysates or immunoprecipitated proteins were resolved by electrophoresis and transferred to PVDF membranes. Proteins were visualized using appropriated primary antibody followed by horseradish peroxidase–conjugated secondary antibody. Blots were developed with the enhanced chemiluminescence solution. Images were obtained and analyzed by a LAS4000 luminescent image analyzer (Fuji Photo Film). All results are representative of at least three independent experiments.
The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of Chonnam National University Medical School Research Institution (2013-19).

Western blotting analysis was conducted as described by Xu et al. [29 (link)], with some modifications. Briefly, intestinal tissues were homogenized, and protein concentrations
were determined with the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime, Jiangsu, China). Then, protein from each sample (20 µg) was separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. The
membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk in blocking buffer containing 0.1% TBST for 1.5 h at room temperature, and then incubated with primary antibodies against p62 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), mTOR, and
β-actin (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) for 12 h at 4°C. After three consecutive washes with TBST, the membranes were incubated with the secondary antibody (horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit
immunoglobulin G; Cell Signaling Technology). Antibody-bound protein bands were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (ECL-Kit; Beyotime) followed by autoradiography. The blots were scanned using a LAS-4000

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.
