Gel electrophoresis was performed with 10–20 µg of protein using 4%–15% gels (Beyotime, China), followed by transblotting to 0.2-µm nitrocellulose membrane (Amersham, Piscataway, NJ, USA). Protein band intensities were determined and detected with BeyoECL Star (Beyotime, China) using the Amersham Imager 680 system (GE). Primary antibodies used in the experiments, including anti-Bcl-2 (rabbit mAb, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA) and β-actin (rabbit mAb, Cell Signaling, USA) were diluted 1:1,000 in 1% BSA.

Rat gastric tissues (50 mg) were homogenized and lysed in ice-cold RIPA lysis buffer containing 1% phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), phosphatase inhibitor and protease inhibitor cocktail. Subsequently, the samples were centrifuged at 10 000 g and 4 °C for 10 min. After centrifugation, the supernatant was collected and subjected to a BCA Protein Assay kit to measure protein concentration. The samples were denatured with reducing SDS sample buffer and boiled in water at 95 °C for 10 min. Subsequently, Western blot analysis was applied to the examination of Keap1, Nrf2, HO-1, NF-κB p65, p-IKKα/β, Bcl2, Bax, Caspase3 and PCNA protein expression. The same amount of protein from all lysates of each sample was separated by 10%−15% SDS-PAGE, and then transferred onto the PVDF membranes, which was incubated overnight with the corresponding primary antibody at 4 °C, followed by the incubation of a secondary antibody. Thereafter, the proteins were measured with Omni-ECL™ Pico light chemiluminescence detection reagents (Epizyme Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) and Amersham Imager 680 system (General Electric, 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.
