The Western blot was performed as previously described [25 (link)]. Liver protein extracts were obtained by lyses homogenized tissue in Ripa buffer (0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 1% NP-40) supplemented with protease inhibitors (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). Protein samples (40 μg) were resolved on 10% or 12% Tris-HCl polyacrylamide gels and subsequently transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were probed with commercially available rabbit polyclonal anti-ApoE (1:500 dilution), anti-GRP-78 (1:500) (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), anti-β-tubulin (1:200) (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), anti- ERP29 and anti-α-tubulin (1:2000), anti-SREBP -1c and anti-SOD2 (1:500) antibodies (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), followed by HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody (1:10000) and ECL Plus detection reagents (GE Biosciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA). Relative ApoE, GRP-78, β-tubulin, α-tubulin, ERP29, SREBP and SOD2 band densities were determined by densitometrical analysis using the Image Studio Lite software from LI-COR Corporate Offices-US (Lincoln, Nebraska USA). In all instances, density values of bands were corrected by subtraction of the background values. The results were expressed as the ratio of ApoE, GRP-78, ERP29 and SOD2 to that of β-tubulin and SREBP to that of α-tubulin our β-tubulin.

For immunofluorescence staining, tissue sections were deparaffinized by xylene, rinsed, and blocked with goat serum (Boster Biological Technology, Pleasanton, California, USA) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere for 1 h. Then sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with rabbit monoclonal anti‐ApoE (1:400; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or rabbit polyclonal anti‐Nrf2 (1:400; Abcam). The sections were rinsed with 0.01 M PBS and incubated with goat IgG conjugated to Alexa 492 (1:200; Earthox, Shanghai, China) for 1 h at 37°C in a dark humidified chamber. Finally, nuclei were stained with 4′,6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole (Beyotime Bio, Shanghai, China) for 5 min. After a final rinse, coverslips were mounted with an antifade mounting medium (Beyotime Bio), and sections were observed under a fluorescence microscope.

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.
