Phos-tag Gel Blotting for VDAC1 Phosphorylation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Phos-tag acrylamide (NARD, Hyogo, Japan) at a concentration of 5 mM and supplemented with 10 mM MnCl2 was added to the SDS-PAGE gels. Prior to blotting, the gels were first soaked in a transfer buffer containing 8 mM EDTA for 15 min to remove MnCl2, and the duration of blotting was extended to 3 h [36 (link)]. The VDAC1 (Sigma, USA) antibody at a 1 : 1000 dilution was then added to determine the extent of VDAC1 phosphorylation via Phos-tag gel blotting.

Astrocyte and Organelle Dynamics under Glucose Conditions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess astrocyte activation, mitochondrial biogenesis and lysosome biogenesis after sustained NG and HG culture, mixed glia were lysed in Cell Lysis Buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA; Cat. 9803). After electrophoresis, the proteins were transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore; Cat. IPVH00010) and the membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary anti-GFAP (Dako, Tokyo, Japan, Cat. Z0334, 1:1,000), anti-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; GeneTex, Irvine, CA, USA, Cat. GTX100118, 1:10,000), anti-LAMP1 (Abcam; Cat. ab24170, 1:1000), or anti-voltage-dependent anion-selective channel 1 (VDAC1; Millipore; Cat. MABN504; 1:1000) antibodies. After incubation with goat anti-rabbit (Sigma; Cat. A0545) or goat anti-mouse (Sigma; Cat. A9917) secondary antibodies, the immune complexes were detected using a chemiluminescence kit (Millipore; Cat. WBLUF0500) and the band intensities were quantified using analyzed by FUJIFILM LAS4000 luminescent image analyzer (Fujifilm Life Science, USA).

Immunoblot Analysis of Mitochondrial Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunoblots, between 7.5 and 25.0 μg of total protein as assessed by BCA assays (Pierce, Rockford, IL) were loaded onto SDS-PAGE gels and transferred by Transblot semi-dry blotting (BioRad, Hercules, CA). Antibodies used included Anti-SUCLA2 (GeneTex, Irvine, CA) at a dilution of 1:2,500, Anti-ABCB7 (GeneTex) at a dilution of 1:500, Anti-ABCB10 (GeneTex) at a dilution of 1:1,000, Anti-PPOX (generated in house by H.A.D. at U.G.A.) at a dilution of 1:2,000, Anti-FECH (generated in house by H.A.D. at U.G.A.) at a dilution of 1:30,000–50,000, Anti-HSP-60 (Sigma) at a dilution 1:50,000, Anti-Cytochrome C (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) at a dilution of 1:5,000, VDAC-1 (Millipore, Billerica, MA) at a dilution of 1:2,000 and Anti-TIM-23 (BD Bioscience) at a dilution of 1:2,000. Secondary antibodies used were Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) HRP Conjugate (Promega, Madison, WI) and Anti-mouse IgG (H+L) HRP conjugate at dilutions of 1:30,000–60,000 with SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent substrate (Pierce) and X-ray film or ChemiDoc imaging system (BioRad) for detection.

Quantification and Localization of Proteins in Mouse Skin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protein samples of mouse skin or epidermal keratinocyte extracts were obtained using a total protein extraction kit (Beyotime, CHN). And then, the protein concentrations were detected using the Bradford Protein Quantification Kit (500-0205, Bio-Rad Laboratories). The samples were gone through the SDS-PAGE system and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, USA). The membranes were incubated with specific primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. The primary antibodies utilized were as follows. MAP4 (1:1000, Affinity, USA), p-MAP4 (1:1000, GL Biochem, CHN), p-MAP4 (S760) (1:1000, GL Biochem, CHN), p-MAP4 (S737) (1:1000, GL Biochem, CHN), LC3 (1:1000, sigma, USA), p62 (1:1000, sigma, USA), Beclin1 (1:1000, CST, USA), Bcl-2 (1:1000, CST, USA), VDAC1 (1:1000, Millipore, USA), Tomm20 (1:1000, Affinity, USA), TIM23 (1:1000, Affinity, USA), GM130 (1:1000, Affinity, USA), Calnexin (1:1000, Affinity, USA), HA-tag (1:1000, proteintech, USA) and β-Actin (1:1000, proteintech, USA). Then, corresponding secondary antibodies were used and the results were visualized using the ChemiDoc XRS System (Bio-Rad Laboratories). Each treatment was repeated 5 times, and the sample size for each time was 3.

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.
