Protein was extracted from liver tissue or cell cultures as described.2 (link) Protein was extracted from liver tissue or cell cultures with ice-cold protein lysis buffer (50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 1% sodium deoxycholate, and 1% Triton-100). Proteins (30 µg/sample) in SDS-loading buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.6, 10% glycerol, and 1% SDS) were subjected to 4–20% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). The membrane was blocked with 5% dry milk and 0.1% Tween 20 (USB, Cleveland, OH). Monoclonal rabbit anti-mouse NICD, HSF1, Snail, TRX1, TXNIP, NLRP3, ASC, cleaved caspase-1, p-ASK1, ASK1, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, cleaved caspase-3, and β-actin Abs (Cell Signaling Technology, MA) were used. The membranes were incubated with the Abs and then developed according to the Pierce SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate protocol (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL). The relative quantities of protein were determined using a densitometer (Kodak Digital Science 1D Analysis Software, Rochester, NY) and expressed in absorbance units (AU) by comparison with β-actin expression.

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.
