The brain tissue from all experimental groups was homogenized in ice-cold RIPA buffer containing, PMSF (1 mM) and protease inhibitor cocktail (1 μl/ml of lysis buffer; Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), then after the protein was extracted. The extract was centrifuged at 12,000×g for 15 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was collected, aliquoted, and stored at −80 °C until further use. Protein content in the different samples was measured with Bradford dye (Bio-Rad) in a 96-well microtiter plate against a bovine serum albumin (BSA) standard. The plate was read at 594 nm in a Spectra Max M2 plate reader (Molecular Device).

After treatment, total proteins were extracted from cells using RIPA lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors. Protein concentrations were measured by Bradford dye (Bio-Rad). 40 μg proteins were loading to the SDS-PAGE gel, and then transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, U.S.A.). Then, the PVDF membranes were blocked by 5% milk and further immersed in primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. After washing with TBST, the membranes were incubated with the secondary antibody (Cell Signaling, U.S.A.) (1:5000 dilution) for 1 h at RT. After TBST wash, ECL solutions (Thermo Pierce) were used to detect the protein bands. GAPDH was served as an endogenous control. Antibodies used include E-cadherin (ab1416, 1:2000 dilution), Vimentin (ab92547, 1:2000 dilution), β-catenin (ab32572, 1:2000 dilution), and GAPDH (ab8245, 1:3000 dilution) were purchased from Abcam (U.S.A.). α-SMA was purchased from Cell Signaling (Cell Signaling 19245, 1:2000 dilution).

Total protein was isolated using RIPA lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors. Protein concentrations were measured by Bradford dye (Bio-Rad). Protein (50μg of each sample) were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred electrophoretically onto PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Then, the membranes were blocked in 5% skim milk for 1 h, washed three or four times with Tris-buffered saline containing 20% Tween 20 (TBST) at room temperature, and incubated with the primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. Following washing with TBST, the membranes were then immersed in secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit IgG, 1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) at room temperature for 1 h.

Transformed cells were resuspended in 40 mL of iced cold lysis buffer (50 mM Tris HCl at pH 8.0, 0.15 M NaCl) on ice. Cells were lysed on ice by sonication at a 30% amp output for 3 min (20 sec pulses) and lysate was centrifuged at 4000×g for 20 min at 4°C. Lysate was purified by affinity chromatography. Soluble protein lysate was added to Ni-NTA resin (ThermoScientific) and incubated for 2 h at 4°C. The resin was centrifuged at 800×g for 5 min at 4°C and the resin was washed 10×1.5 mL with wash buffer (50 mM Tris HCl at pH 8.0, 0.15 mM NaCl, 20 mM imidazole). Protein was eluted off of the resin with 50 mM Tris HCl at pH 8.0, 0.15 mM NaCl, 1 M imidazole. Eluted protein was monitored by Bradford dye (BioRad), pooled, and exposed to final concentrations of 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, and 0.5 M ammonium sulfate. Protein was incubated for 1 h at 4°C before extensive dialysis against 25 mM HEPES at pH 7.4, 10% glycerol, 0.01% Triton X-100. Dialyzed protein was centrifuged at 2000×g to remove any precipitated protein. Purity was determined by SDS-PAGE and monomer concentration was determined by UV-Vis at 280 nm using a molar extinction coefficient of 14,800 M−1cm−1.

Whole-cell lysates were prepared from BGC823 cells, and standard Western blot analysis was performed. Protein concentrations were detected using Bradford dye (Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Hercules, CA, USA). Equal amounts of protein extracts (10 μg) were resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The membrane was probed with specific primary antibodies including XIAP (1:300), cyclin D1 (1:300), BCl-2 (1:800), Bax (1:600), and caspase-3 (1:600). The protein bands were normalized with β-actin, and all the blots were quantified with Software Quantity One (Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc.).

Total histone protein was prepared from 8×106 cells using an EpiQuik Histone Extraction Kit (OP-0006; EpiGentek) according to the manufacturer's instructions, and histone protein concentration was measured by the Bradford Dye (500-0006, Bio-rad). A modified protocol was applied for histone extraction of human buffy coat samples. Briefly, 200–300 μl buffy coat samples were incubated with 10 ml hypotonic Tris-HCl solution (10 mM Tris, PH 8.0) for two hours at 4 °C. A protease inhibitor cocktail (P2714; Sigma) was used to prevent protein degradation after lysing the cells. At the end of the incubation, centrifugation was performed for 20 min at 10,000 rpm, 4 °C. The pellet was then mixed with lysis buffer from the EpiQuik Histone Extraction Kit (OP-0006; EpiGentek) and the remaining extraction steps were completed following the manufacturer’s protocol.

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.
