After bear serum incubation, cells were scraped into 200 μl of ice-cold lysis buffer (TRIS-HCl 20 mM, NaCl 138 mM, KCl 2.7 mM, MgCl2 1 mM, Glycerol 5%, NP 40 1%, EDTA 5 mM, Na3VO4 1 mM, NaF 20 mM and DTT 1 mM) supplemented with a protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich, France). Protein concentration was determined by Bradford quantification. Western blotting was performed, as described previously29 (link), loading 20 μg of total protein on precast gels (Mini-protean TGX Stain-freeTM gel, Biorad, France). After migration, gels were UV exposed for 3 minutes and pictures were taken for further quantification of protein loading. After semi-dry transfer, all membranes were blocked with 4% BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin, Euromedex, Souffelweyersheim, France) before incubation with primary antibodies (see Table S1). Corresponding secondary HRP antibodies were used for chemiluminescence revelation (Chemidoc Bio-Rad).

To measure the CD31 and F4/80 protein levels, mice were sacrificed and wound tissues were harvested 7 days after treatment. Briefly, the harvested wound tissues were homogenized using Multi-beads shocker® and added to the T-PER Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) consisting of proteinase and dephosphorylation inhibitors (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Total protein lysates were obtained after the elimination of debris by filtering with 0.22 μm filters (Millipore). Total protein (10 μg) was separated using a mini-protean TGX Stain-FreeTM gel (BioRad), and then transferred to PVDF membranes using the Trans-Blot® TurboTM transfer system (BioRad). After blocking with the PVDF Blocking Reagent Can Get Signal® (TOYOBO) for 1 hour at room temperature, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies against CD31, F4/80, or tubulin (Sigma-Aldrich) at 4 °C overnight, followed by the appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1 hour. Expression was visualized by chemiluminescence with a digital luminescent image analyzer (LAS-4000, GE Healthcare).

Cells were treated as indicated in Figs 3 and 4, then washed twice with PBS and lysed with 2× Laemmli buffer. Cell extracts were heated for 5 min at 95 °C, sheared through a 26-gauge needle and quantified with a Nanodrop 2000 (Thermo Scientific). Protein lysates (~100 μg) were loaded on a 4–20% Mini-PROTEAN TGX Stain-Free Gel (BioRad), resolved by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Amersham). Proteins were probed with the following antibodies: anti-β-actin (ab8226, Abcam), anti-H2AX (PA1-14198, Thermo Scientific), anti-γH2AX (#2577, Cell Signaling), anti-p21 (#2947, Cell Signaling), anti-p53 (#2524, Cell Signaling), anti-p-p53 (#9284, Cell Signaling), anti-p62 (610,833, BD Transduction Laboratories), anti-LC3 (#2775, Cell Signaling), anti-Bid (#2002, Cell Signaling) and anti-Caspase 3 (#9665, Cell Signaling) and were diluted 1/1,000 in 5% BSA, 0.1% Tween-20/TBS. The secondary antibodies were anti-rabbit HRP (A120-108P, Bethyl), anti-mouse HRP (A90-116P) and anti-donkey HRP (A140-107P, Bethyl). Antigens were detected by ECL (Amersham).

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.
