Membrane Fraction Isolation and Western Blotting of β-Adrenergic Receptors

Hearts were frozen in situ as above and a membrane fraction was isolated as previously described (Zhou et al., 1998 (link)), with modifications. Hearts were homogenized in hypotonic lysis buffer and the
homogenate was centrifuged at 2,000 G for 10 min. The supernatant was collected and centrifuged at 9,000 G for 20 min, and the
resultant supernatant was centrifuged at 180,000 G for 90 min. Essentially all β1AR and
β2AR were recovered in this final pellet. The pellet was reconstituted with RIPA buffer containing
protease inhibitor (Roche) then running buffer for Western blotting (anti-β1AR (Santa Cruz),
anti-β2AR (as above) and anti-Caveolin3 (BD Biosciences)).

Brain Perfusion and Immunofluorescence Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mice were perfused intracardiacally with saline first, then with 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 M Na2HPO4/NaH2PO4 buffer (pH 7.5) and the brains were removed. After post-fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde for 4 hours, the samples were stored in 30% sucrose/PBS for 3 days. Brain slices 30 μm thick were incubated in primary antibody (anti-c-Fos 1: 1000, Santa Cruz; anti-β1-AR 1:100, Santa Cruz) at 4°C overnight. After being washed with PBS 3 times, the slices were incubated with fluorescence conjugated secondary antibody at room temperature (1:50000, Jackson ImmunoResearch) for 1 hour. Then the brain sections were rinsed in PBS and mounted with antiquenching mounting medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The sections were visualized under a LSM 510 laser confocal fluorescence microscope (Carl Zeiss) and analyzed by Image-Pro Plus. Labeled cells above the same threshold determined from control animals were counted (Trifilieff et al., 2006 ).

Western Blot Analysis of Adrenergic Receptors in Rat Renal Cortex

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total protein was extracted after homogenizing the rat renal cortex, and the concentration was determined with a bicinchoninic acid protein assay kit. The proteins were separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, which were incubated with the primary antibodies rabbit anti-β1-AR (1:200), anti-β2-AR (1:200), anti-β3-AR (1:200), anti-α1A-AR (1:200), anti-α1B-AR (1:200), anti-α1D-AR (1:200), anti-AT1R (1:200), anti-AT2R (1:200), and anti-GAPDH (1:200) (all from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) at 4 °C overnight, followed by incubation with goat anti-rabbit fluorescent (IRDye-conjugated) secondary antibodies (1:10,000; Rockland Immunochemicals, Gilbertsville, PA, USA) for 2 h at room temperature. The images were quantified by the Odyssey infrared imaging system (LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA). Levels of proteins were normalized to that of GAPDH.

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.
