Total lysates were obtained using-modified RIPA lysis buffer as described previously [41 (link),42 (link),43 (link)]. The proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred onto an Immobilon-P membrane (GE Healthcare Life Science, Pittsburgh, PO, USA). The membranes were incubated with 5% nonfat milk for 30 min and then overnight with the primary antibodies. After overnight incubation, the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies for 2 h, and were exposed using an enhanced chemiluminescence Western blot kit (EMD Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). All protein band intensity was measured using ImageJ. For apoptosis analysis, cells were fixed with 100% ethanol for 2 h at 4 °C. Next, cells were incubated with RNase for 30 min at 37 °C and stained with propidium iodide. DNA content was measured by flow cytometry (BD Biosciences).

For immune-detection of proteins on SDS- or BN-PAGE, proteins were electroblotted on onto a PVDF Immobilon-P membrane (GE Healthcare) (BN-PAGE), or onto a nitrocellulose membrane (GE Healthcare) (SDS-PAGE). Polyclonal antibodies against CcoN and CcoP (Koch et al., 1998a (link)) were used with either peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (Caltag Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) or alkaline phosphatase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibodies (Sigma, St. Louis, USA) antibodies as secondary antibodies with ECL (GE Healthcare, Munich, Germany). Antibodies against the His- or Myc tags (clone 9E10) were purchased from Millipore (Temecula, USA). Antibodies against CopZ were raised in rabbits (Gramsch Laboratories, Schwabhausen, Germany) using the protein purified from E. coli.

HUVECs pre-exposed to curcumin or vehicle were harvested at the end of a 4-hour-TNF- activation period and washed twice with ice-cold PBS. Total proteins were extracted using lysis buffer containing 50 mmol/L Tris pH 7.8, 150 mmol/L NaCl, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 1% NP40, antiprotease and anti-phosphatase. Protein concentration was determined using BCA protein assay reagent Kit (Interchem).

Membranes were blocked for 1 h in 5% low fat dried milk in TBS containing 0.1% Tween-20 (TBS-T) and then incubated for 1 h with the primary antibody. After washing in TBS-T, the membranes were incubated with peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (GE Healthcare) (1:5,000) for 1 h. Membranes were developed using the ECL chemiluminescent detection system (GE Healthcare). Equal protein load was confirmed after reprobing the membrane using anti-β-actin antibodies. The films were scanned and the densities of the bands measured using NIH ImageJ Software. The densities of the bands were normalized against those of β-actin and the mean ratios calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA).

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.
