TrkB Activation Assay in NIH-3T3 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NIH-3T3-TrkB-expressing cells were plated in 12-well plates at 100,000 cells/well and the following day were serum deprived for 6 h. Compound treatments to assess TrkB activation were performed at 1 μM for 20 min, while BDNF was used as a positive control at 500 ng/mL. Lysis was performed using a lysis buffer on ice (Thermo Scientific Pierce IP Lysis Buffer) with a Millipore phospho-protease inhibitor cocktail by Millipore for 10 min. After adding the loading buffer (5× Laemni) to 25 μg of the protein sample, samples were incubated at 95 °C for 5 min and subjected to SDS-PAGE. Nitrocellulose membrane transfer was performed at 350 mA for 2 h, followed by blocking at room temperature with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 1 h and primary antibody incubation in blocking solutions at 4 °C overnight and detection with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies. ECL solution was used to detect chemiluminescence. Primary antibodies used are Phospho-TrkB (Tyr816) Millipore # ABN1381 and Anti-TrkB Abcam #ab33655, β-Actin.

Cells were plated in 12 well plates, at a density of 100,000 cells per well, with 6 h of serum deprivation carried out on the following day. To assess the effect of compounds on TrkB phosphorylation, 20-min treatments were applied, using either BDNF at 500 ng/mL (Peprotech 450-02) (positive control) or compounds at 1 μM.
Cell lysis for 10 min was carried out on ice using the Pierce IP Lysis Buffer by Thermo Scientific and a phospho-protease inhibitor cocktail by Millipore. After adding loading buffer (5 × Laemni), 25 μg from each protein sample were incubated for 5 min at 95°C and subjected to SDS-PAGE. Proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 350 mA for 2 h. Membrane blocking was performed using 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) at room temperature for 1 h, before adding the primary antibodies to the blocking solution at 4°C overnight.

Retinas were excised from the eye cup immediately after death, and tissue was snap-frozen on dry ice before lysing using a Lysis-M reagent containing cOmplete Mini Protease Inhibitor (Roche) and phosphatase inhibitors (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Following 20-min homogenization, tissue was centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 10 min to isolate the soluble cell extract. Protein concentration was determined using a bicinchoninic acid protein assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and equal quantities of protein were loaded onto 10% or 4 to 12% bis-tris gels (NuPAGE Novex, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Membranes were blocked in 5% dried skimmed milk in PBS with 0.2% Tween 20 (Sigma-Aldrich) for 60 min and then incubated overnight at 4°C in primary antibody (BDNF N-20, rabbit, 1:200, sc-546, Santa Cruz Biotechnology; TrkB, rabbit, 1:500, ab33655, Abcam; β-actin, rabbit, 1:1000, 4967, Cell Signaling Technology).

Biosciences (Lincoln, Nebraska, USA). Concentration of primary and secondary
antibody was used per manufacture’s recommendation. Protein expression
was determined as relative fluorescence compared to housekeeping protein.

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.
