Total protein extracts were obtained treating each tissue sample with total lysis buffer (Pierce Ripa buffer, Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA) supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). After homogenization and centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 15 min at 4 °C, the protein concentration was measured by a standard Bradford assay (Bio-Rad, Milan, Italy). Aliquots of 50 µg of total protein extracts from each sample were denaturated in 5× Laemmli sample buffer and loaded into 4–12% pre-cast polyacrylamide gels (Bio-Rad, Milan, Italy) for western blot analysis. Cannabinoid receptor I (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), cleaved caspase-3 (Asp175), Bax, ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204), p38α MAPK, p-p38 (Thr180/Tyr182) MAPK, Akt, p-Akt (Thr308), p-Akt (Ser473), β-actin (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA) and Bcl2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), were used as primary antibodies.

Protein lysates were prepared by homogenizing adipose tissue in lysis buffer (150 mM sodium chloride, 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 1% Triton X-100, 1% sodium deoxycholic acid, 0.1% sodium dodecylsulfate, 5μg/ml of aprotinin, 5μg/ml of leupeptin). Tissue and cell debris was removed by centrifugation. Protein concentrations were estimated by the Bio-Rad protein assay using BSA as standard. The lysates were boiled for 5 min in 1×SDS sample buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 12.5% glycerol, 1% SDS, 0.01% bromophenol blue) containing 5% Beta-mercaptoethanol.
Equal amount of protein (50 μg) were resolved on SDS–PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) filters. After transfer, the membranes were blocked for 2 hours in 5% non-fat dry milk in Tris-buffered saline (TBS) and then incubated in primary antibodies overnight at 4°C.The primary antibodies were diluted 1 : 500 in blocking buffer and were directed against the following proteins: CB2-R, NOS1 and GAPDH. After overnight incubation, the membranes were further incubated with a horseradish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibody. The proteins were detected by chemiluminescence (ECL) and the densitometric analysis of each protein-related signal was obtained using the Molecular Imager Chemidoc TM (Bio-Rad Laboratories) and normalized against GAPDH expression.

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.
