At 48 h after transfection, cells were lysed in TNT-G buffer consisting of 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, and 1% Triton-X100 with protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche). After 30 min incubation on ice, the cell suspension was centrifuged (20,000 g for 20 min) and the supernatant was collected. The cell lysates were incubated with anti-FLAG M2 agarose affinity gel (Sigma) at 4 °C overnight and were eluted with 4% SDS sample buffer (27 (link)). For the analysis of ER stress markers, the samples of subcellular fraction were used. Samples were resolved by SDS-PAGE and transferred to a PVDF membrane (Polyscreen, PerkinElmer, Boston, MA). A western blot image was obtained using a chemiluminescence detection kit (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL).

In each sample, 1×106 CD4+ cells were lysed in freshly prepared radioimmumoprecipitation assay buffer. Cell lysate was separated from debris by centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 10 min. Lysate was loaded onto 12% polyacrylamide gels and transferred onto PVDF membrane (Polyscreen; Perkin Elmer). The membrane was subsequently blocked in 5% milk and probed with Itm2a antibody. The rabbit anti-human Itm2a antibody was generated by using Itm2a extracellular domain as an immunogen. Proteins were visualized using an ECL kit (PerkinElmer).

Ten micrograms of total protein for whole cell lysates or the secreted protein from approximately 3×106 cells, was heat-denatured (5 minutes at 100 °C in NuPAGE® LDS Sample Buffer and reducing agent), then electrophoresed at 120 V for 1.5 hours using pre-cast gels in an XCell SureLock Mini-Cell system (Life Technologies). The protein was then transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Polyscreen®, PerkinElmer, VIC, Australia). The transfer membranes were blocked for 1 hour at room temperature using a 5% (w/v) skim milk solution in 0.1% (v/v) TBS-tween (blocking solution) and incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4 °C. The membranes were washed in 0.1% (v/v) TBS-tween and then incubated with the appropriate HRP-conjugated secondary antibody diluted 1/2000 in blocking solution. The membranes were developed using a Novex® ECL chemiluminescent substrate reagent kit (Life Technologies), and proteins visualised using an ImageQuant LAS 4000 imager, software version 1.2.0.101 (GE Healthcare Pty. Ltd., NSW, Australia). Triplicate samples were analysed and images quantified relative to a reference GAPDH loading control using AlphaViewSA software v3.0 (ProteinSimple Pty. Ltd., Santa Clara, CA, USA).

In each sample, cells were lysed with freshly prepared whole-cell lysis buffer. Cell lysate was separated from debris by centrifugation at 13,000 rpm for 10 min. The lysate was loaded onto 10% polyacrylamide gels and transferred onto PVDF membranes (PolyScreen, PerkinElmer). These membranes were subsequently blocked in 5% milk and probed with an anti-Ets-1 or anti-CCR7 antibody. Proteins were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) kit (PerkinElmer).

N2a cells have been transfected with pFN33_TDP-43 and pFN35_TDP-43 construct as described above and incubated for 24 h at 37 °C. Cells have been lysed with 500 µl Laemmli lysis buffer per 2 wells of a 12-well plate (Tris/HCl, pH 6.8, 62.5 mM, 10% glycerol, 2% SDS, 5% β-mercaptoethanol, 0.1 M DTT). Proteins were separated using a 12% SDS-PAGE and subsequently transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (PolyScreen; PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Boston, MA). Membranes were washed once in TBS-T buffer (150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.4, 0.05% Tween 20), blocked in TBS-T containing 1% BSA (w/v), and probed with rat anti-TDP-43 2H4 (1:2000, BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA). Detection of bound primary antibody was performed with rabbit anti-rat antibody (1:10000, DAKO GmbH, Jena, Germany). Blots were developed with ECL reagents and imaged in ECL-Imager (DNR MF-ChemiBIS Image Analysis System 1.6, DNR Bio-Imaging Systems, Biostep, Germany).

TDP-43, p65 and tau were quantified using Western immunoblot. Proteins (15 μg/sample) were heated at 95°C for 5 minutes in SDS sample buffer. For immunoprecipitation study, anti-TDP-43 polyclonal (ProteinTech, Chicago) or anti-p65 polyclonal antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz) was bound to protein G-coated magnetic beads (Dyanl, Invitrogen, Camarillo) and was incubated with 50 μg of lysate overnight at 4°C. After washing, immunoprecipitates were eluted with SDS sample buffer. Samples were resolved by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to a PVDF membrane (Polyscreen, PerkinElmer, Boston, MA). The membrane was incubated with anti-p65 (Invitrogen, Camarillo) or anti-TDP-43 2E2-D3 antibody (Abnova, Walnut), and western blot image was obtained using a chemiluminescence detection kit (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL). Each protein was estimated by standardization with actin.

Analyzed proteins were quantified and used for immunoblotting analyses. The equal quantified proteins or equal volumes of immunoprecipitated proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Separated proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (PolyScreen, PerkinElmer). Transferred antigens were incubated with the following antibodies: mouse anti-galectin-3, rabbit anti-Alix, mouse anti-HIV-1 p24 (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA), mouse anti-β-actin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), or rabbit anti-α-tubulin (Epitomics, Burlingame, CA, USA), and held for 1 h at 37 °C. After three washes with 1x phosphate-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween® detergent (PBST), membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibodies (goat anti-mouse IgG, goat anti-human IgG, or goat anti-rabbit IgG) (Amersham Biosciences, Charlemagne, UK) for 1 h at 37 °C. Hybridized protein bands were created with an Immobilon™ Western Enhanced Chemiluminescence (ECL) protein detection system (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA).

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.
