Total protein of the cochleae was isolated with RIPA (Beyotime) lysis buffer supplemented with PMSF (Beyotime). Protein concentrations were measured using a BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime), and proteins were separated on a BeyoGel™ Plus Precast PAGE Gel for Tris-Gly System (Beyotime) and transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Beyotime). The membranes were blocked with 10% nonfat dried milk in Tris-buffered saline with Tween 20 (TBST, 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, and 0.1% Tween 20) for 1 h at room temperature and then blotted overnight with primary antibodies at 4 °C. The primary antibodies were as follows: rabbit anti-Yap (1:1000 dilution) (CST), rabbit anti-phospho-Yap (1:1000 dilution) (Ser127) (CST), rabbit anti-LATS1 (1:1000 dilution) (CST), rabbit anti-phospho-LATS1 (1:1000 dilution) (Thr1079) (CST), rabbit anti-Cyr61 (1:500 dilution) (Santa Cruz), and goat anti-CTGF (1:500 dilution) (Santa Cruz). All blots derive from the same experiment and that they were processed in parallel.

Western Blot Analysis of CD44 and CTGF

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To examine CD44 and CTGF expression, proteins of primary hTM cells were isolated after RNA separation according to the manufacturer’s instructions (TriFast, Peqlab, Erlangen, Germany). Proteins were dissolved in 1% SDS containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Protein concentration was determined by the bicinchoninic acid assay (Interchim, Montlugon Cedex, France). Thereafter, proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Roche, Mannheim, Germany). Western blot analysis was performed with specific antibodies as described previously.[45 ] Antibodies were used as follows: mouse anti-CD44 (1:1000, R&D systems, Minneapolis, USA), goat anti-rabbit (1:5000, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, USA), goat anti-CTGF (1:500; Santa Cruz, Dallas, USA), horse anti-mouse (1:2000, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, USA). α-tubulin (rabbit anti-α-tubulin, 1:2500, Rockland Immunochemicals Inc., Gilbertsville, USA) was used as loading control. Chemiluminescence was detected on a LAS 3000 imaging workstation (Fujifilm, Düsseldorf, Germany), and signal intensity was estimated by the AIDA Image analyzer software (Raytest, Straubenhardt, Germany).

Proteins from the renal cortex or HUVECs were extracted in RIPA buffer with proteinase inhibitors, and protein concentrations were determined using the BCA assay. Twenty-five microgram of proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred onto PVDF membranes. After blocking with Roti-block (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) for 1 h at room temperature, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C and corresponding secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. The proteins were visualized using a chemiluminescent peroxidase substrate (Roche, Mannheim, Germany; or Thermo Scientific, Rockford, USA). Protein expression was quantified using Image J (NIH, USA). Specific primary antibodies used: mouse-anti-α-SMA (Sigma-Aldrich, A5228, 1:2,000), goat-anti-CTGF (Santa Cruz, sc-14939, 1: 200), mouse-anti-γ-tubulin (Sigma, T6557, 1:10,000). The secondary antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase: rabbit-anti-goat (Sigma-Aldrich, A8919), horse-anti-mouse (Cell Signaling, 7076, 1:20,000).

Embryonic lung tissues were homogenized in RIPA buffer supplemented with Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail tablets (Roche) and phosSTOP Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail tablets (Roche). The lysates were cleared and analyzed by Western blot as previously described (Lin et al., 2012 (link)).
The following primary antibodies were used: rabbit anti-YAP (Cell Signaling, 1:500), rabbit anti-phospho-YAP (Cell Signaling, 1:1000), rabbit anti-LATS (Cell Signaling, 1:1000), rabbit anti-phospho-LATS (Cell Signaling, 1:1000), rabbit anti-MST1 (Cell Signaling, 1:500), rabbit anti-MST2 (Cell Signaling, 1:1000), goat anti-MST1/2 (Santa Cruz 1:100), goat anti-CTGF (Santa Cruz, 1:200).

Mice were anaesthetised with an overdose of sodium pentobarbital and
transcardially perfused with saline followed by 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA).
Brains from pups younger than P6 were post-fixed for 4 h while brains from mice
older than P6 were post-fixed for 2 h at 4°C. Brains were sectioned
either on the sliding microtome at 30 or 40 µm as previously
described52 (link) or on a vibratome at 40
or 60 µm. All primary and secondary antibodies were diluted in PBS
containing 0.25% Triton X-100 and 2% BSA. The following antibodies were used:
goat anti-CTGF (1:200, Santa Cruz), rabbit anti cleaved-caspase-3 (1:200, Cell
Signalling), rabbit anti-dsRed (1:500, Clontech), goat anti-mCherry (1:500,

Fluor-conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen). For biotin amplification,
sections were incubated with biotinylated secondary antibody (1:200, Vector
labs), followed by Alexa Fluor-conjugated Streptavidin (1:200, Vector labs).
Blood vessels were stained with Isolectin-B4-FITC or Isolectin-B4-Dylight 594

Proteins were isolated following the RNA isolation according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (Peqlab). Proteins were dissolved in 1% SDS containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors, and protein content was measured with the bicinchoninic acid assay (Interchim, Montluçon Cedex, France). Western blot analysis was performed with specific antibodies as described previously (Fuchshofer et al. 2011 (link),  2007 (link)). Specific antibodies were used as follows: goat anti-CTGF (1:500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, USA), rabbit anti-α-tubulin (1:2500, Rockland Immunochemicals Inc., Gilbertsville, USA), donkey anti-goat (1:2000, Bethyl Laboratories Inc., Montgomery, USA), and goat anti-rabbit (1:5000, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, USA). Chemiluminescence was detected on a LAS 3000 imaging workstation (Fujifilm, Düsseldorf, Germany). For normalization of the signal intensity, α-tubulin was used as a loading control. The intensity of the bands detected by Western blotting was determined using appropriate software (AIDA Image analyzer software, Raytest, Straubenhardt, Germany).

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.
