CD34+CD38 KG1α cells (5 × 105/ml) were cultured for 24 or 48 h in the absence or presence of 40 nM IDA and 0.75 μM chidamide. The protein expression levels were determined by staining with primary antibodies and relevant HRP-conjugated secondary (1:10,000, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) antibodies. The primary antibodies (caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, and PARP—Beyotime, China; p-BRCA1, p-ATM, p-CHK1, p-CHK2, γH2A.X, and Ace-H3—Cell Signaling, Herts, UK) were diluted at 1:1000 in 5% fat-free milk-TBST. Anti-β-actin (1:1000, Cell Signaling, Herts, UK) was used as a loading control. The signal was detected using an ECL Western Blotting Detection Kit (GeneFlow, Staffordshire, UK).

The heart tissue and H9C2 cells were ground and lysed by protein lysis buffer (Beyotime, China) with PMSF and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail. Total protein samples were extracted from the lysate, and the protein concentration was detected. The sample was loaded into 8% or 12% SDS-PAGE gel for electrophoresis and then transferred to the PVDF membrane. It was blocked for 1 hour and then immersed in primary antibody for 12 hours at 4°C, such as GAPDH (Proteintech, 60004-1-Ig, USA), GSDMD (Abcam, ab219800, ab209845, UK), NLRP3 (Abcam, ab214185, UK), caspase-1 (Abcam, ab179515, UK), IL-1β (Abcam, ab9722, UK), caspase-3 (Cell Signaling Technology, 14220T, USA), caspase-7 (Cell Signaling Technology, 12827T), caspase-8 (Beyotime, AC056, China), Bcl-2 (Beyotime, AB112, China), Bax (Beyotime, AB026, China), PARP-1 (Cell Signaling Technology, 9532S, USA), and poly/mono-ADP ribose (Cell Signaling Technology, 83732S, USA). The membranes were washed with TBST twice, immersed in the secondary antibody for 1 hour, and then washed again. Bands were displayed by the ECL detection kit (Millipore, 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.
