RNA Northern Blot Analysis of GIV Infection

Total RNA was prepared using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen) from GIV-infected GK cells at a multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.) of 10. Ten micrograms of RNA were separated on a 1% formaldehyde agarose gel, and then transferred onto a Hybond-N membrane (Amersham Biosciences). The membrane was hybridized at 42°C overnight with a [32P]dCTP-radiolabeled GIV-CARD DNA probe, which was synthesized using GIV-CARD-F/GIV-CARD-R primer pairs (Table 1). After hybridization, the membrane was washed with a solution containing 0.1% SDS and 0.1× SSC, and subsequently exposed to Biomax X-ray film (Kodak) for signal detection. Control RNA was collected from mock-infected GK cells. Indicated cultures were pretreated for 1 h before infection with cycloheximide (CHX, final concentration of 200 μg/ml; Calbiochem) or aphidicolin (APH, final concentration of 5 μg/ml; Calbiochem), to inhibit protein or DNA synthesis, respectively.

Quantitative Dot-Blot Assay for αAI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transformed colonies were transferred onto a replica plate and each colony was grown in 600 µL of YPCGal media in a 96-well microplate at 28 °C for 72–96 h at 250 rpm. Cleared supernatants (200 µL) were loaded into a dot blot apparatus connected to a vacuum pump. Pure Pinto-αAI [2 (link)] in sterile YPCGal (1 ng/µL) was used as positive control. Cleared YPCGal inoculated with untransformed cells (200 µL) and sterile YPCGal (200 µL) were used as negative controls. The nitrocellulose membrane was probed with a rabbit anti-αAI polyclonal antibody (1:10,000 dilution), and then probed with HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:1000 dilution, Promega Corp. Madison, WI, USA). Protein antibody complexes were made visible using Pierce ECL Western Blotting Substrate detection reagent (Thermo-Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) and autoradiography film (Kodak Biomax X-ray film). The relative amount of protein in dots was estimated by densitometry using ImageJ Software [38 ].

Western Blotting Protein Expression Analysis

Western Blotting was used to analyze the levels of protein expression. Briefly, 15 µg of the protein from the whole-cell extract was separated by using 10% SDS-PAGE. The resolved proteins in the gel were transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Amersham, GE Health, Sweden) at room temperature for 1.5 hr. The membrane was washed with 1× TBST and blocked with 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA) (for p21 and phospho-CHK1 analysis) or 10% nonfat milk (for other protein analysis) in 1× TBST for 1 hr. After washing, the membrane was incubated with primary antibodies in 1% BSA (for p21 and phospho-CHK1 analysis) or 5% nonfat milk (other protein analysis) in 1× TBST at 4°C overnight. The primary antibodies: Bmi-1 (F6; 1:600) was from Upstate, Millipore (Billerica, MA); p21WAF/Cip1 (1:200), cyclin E (1:1000) and actin (1:1000) were from Santa Cruz Biotechnology; p53 (1:1000), phospho-p53(ser15) (1:500), CHK1 (1:500) and phospho-CHK1(ser345) (1:500) were from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA). After washing twice with 1× TBST for 20 min, the membrane was incubated with appropriate secondary antibodies (1:3,000) in 5% nonfat milk in 1× TBST for 1 hr at room temperature. After washing, the membrane was incubated with ECL-Plus chemiluminescence kit (Amersham) for 5 min. The signals were visualized using Biomax X-ray film (Kodak, Rochester, NY).

After treating cells as described above, total protein was extracted from cell lysates using RIPA buffer, and protein concentrations were determined with a BCA protein quantitative analysis kit. A total of 40 µg of protein was loaded onto a 15% SDS-polyacrylamide gel for electrophoresis (PAGE) and then transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Whatman, New Jersey, USA). The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk in Tris-buffered saline (pH 7.4) with 0.1% Tween-20 for 1 h at room temperature before overnight incubation with primary antibodies specific for α-Syn (1:1000), Bax (1:500), Bcl-2 (1:1000), and β-actin (1:1500) in 5% skim milk-Tris buffered saline Tween (TBST). The membranes were then rinsed 3 times in TBST and incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary IgG (1:2000) in TBST for 1.5 h, followed by a final series of rinses in TBST. The resulting bands of protein were visualized on Biomax X-ray film (Kodak, Japan) using the Super Signal West Pico Chemiluminescent Kit.

Northern blot analysis was performed as previously described (14) . Briefly, 10 μg of total RNA was loaded into each well of an 8% polyacrylamide-7M urea gel (USB Corporation) run at 300 V for 1.5 h in 1x TBE. The gel was transferred overnight to Zeta-Probe membrane (Bio-Rad) at 12 V at 4˚C. Following transfer, membranes were UV crosslinked and pre-hybridized in ULTRAhyb Oligo Hybridization Buffer (Invitrogen) for 1 h for at 45˚C.

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.
