Following the drug treatments, cells were collected and resuspended in RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime, China) and lysed by ultrasonic instrument. Then equal protein amount of the cell extracts was analyzed on a 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gels and transferred onto PVDF membranes. Membranes were blotted with primary antibodies targeting the following proteins: LSD1 (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China), pan-acetyl-H3 (Millipore, USA), Mono-Methyl-Histone H3 (Lys4), Di-Methyl-Histone H3 (Lys4), Tri-Methyl-Histone H3 (Lys4), Mono-Methyl-Histone H3 (Lys9), Di-Methyl-Histone H3 (Lys9), Tri-Methyl-Histone H3 (Lys9), PARP [poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase], Caspases-3, P21, P27, P57, Bcl-xL, Bcl-2, Bax and LC3B (all from Cell Signaling Technology, USA). β-actin (Abcam, USA) and Histone H3 (Abcam, USA) were used as internal controls. Then, membranes were incubated in HRP-conjugated secondary antibody and visualized using the HRP Substrate (Millipore, USA) by Image Quant LAS-4010 system (GE Healthcare, USA).

Immunoblot Analysis of Apoptotic Proteins

Immunoblot analysis was used to investigate cell apoptotic signal proteins. RIPA buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing a protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) was used to extract total proteins, and the concentration of proteins were then measured using the Bradford assay. Using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the proteins were separated and then transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Amersham Bioscience, Uppsala, Sweden). The membranes were incubated with primary antibody, including anti-human poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP, #9542 s; Cell Signalling, Danvers, MA), caspases-3 (#9665 s; Cell Signalling), caspase-9 (#9508 s; Cell Signalling), bax (NB100–56095; Novus Biologicals, Centennial, CO), and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; sc-32233; Santa Cruz), at 4 °C overnight. After vigorous washing with tris-buffered saline, the horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies, such as anti-rabbit IgG or anti-rat IgG (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA), were applied to the membranes at room temperature for 1 hrs. The specific bands were developed using the ImageQuant LAS 4000 chemiluminescence imaging equipment (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL) and a western blot detection kit from Bio-Rad (Hercules, CA).

Harvested cells were resuspended in a lysis buffer containing 50 mM Tris/HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS and 0.1 mM PMSF. Proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Membranes were incubated with primary antibodies against pan-acetyl-H3 (Millipore, USA), PARP [poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase], γ-H2AX (Ser139), caspases-3, Bcl-xL, Bcl-2, Bax, H3, β-actin (all from Cell Signaling Technology, USA). Blots were visualized using the ECL (Millipore, USA) with Image Quant LAS-4010 (GE Healthcare, 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.
