Western blot analysis used specific antibodies for ERα (HC-20, Santa Cruz); ERK2 (D-2, Santa Cruz); and pS6, pS6K, pmTOR, pRAPTOR, pRICTOR, pMAPK (Cell Signaling). Coimmunoprecipitation assays used antibodies for SRC3 (Santa Cruz, C-20) and ERα (Santa Cruz, F10). ChIP assays were carried out as described (9 (link), 11 (link)). Antibodies used were for ERα (HC20), ERK2 (Santa Cruz, D2 and C14), and pSer5 RNA Pol II (Santa Cruz, sc-47701). ChIP DNA was isolated using QIAGEN PCR purification kit and used for ChIP-seq analysis and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). qPCR was used to calculate recruitment to the regions studied, as described (9 (link)).

Retinal samples were collected, homogenized, and then centrifuged at 15,000 × g for 15 min at 4 °C. Western blotting was used to measure the levels of LC3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., USA), LAMP1 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), p-mTOR S2448 (Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA), p-S6K (Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA), p-Rictor (Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA), p-Akt S473 (Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA), and p-GSK3b S9 (Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA) in retinal samples. Retinal protein extracts were separated using a 4–12% NuPAGE Bis-Tris gel (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The separated proteins were transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes and blocked with 5% milk in Tris-buffered saline/Tween-20 containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.5 M NaCl, and 0.5% Tween-20. The membranes were then blotted with mouse anti-LC antibodies, mouse anti-LAMP1 antibody, mouse anti-p62 antibody, mouse anti-mTOR antibody, and goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). The blots were then developed with Enhanced Chemiluminescent Substrates (Perkin-Elmer Life Science, Boston, MA, USA), and the relative intensities of the bands were measured using an image analysis system (Amersham Biosciences Uppsala, Sweden).

Human myeloma IgE (huIgE, Calbiochem, La Jolla, CA) was biotinylated in the NIAID Core Facility. The protein-specific antibodies used in confocal microscopy were: mTOR (10343, IBL, Minneapolis, MN) and rictor (NB100-612, Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO). The β-actin-specific antibody for immunoblotting was from Cell Signaling Technology (Beverley, MA) and Lyn-specific antibody for immunoblotting from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA). The conjugated protein-specific antibodies were: fluorophore-conjugated antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc., West Grove, PA), horseradish peroxidase-conjugated rabbit IgG (Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, NJ), and mouse IgG Fc-specific antibody (Sigma-Aldrich). The phosphoprotein-specific antibodies for immunoblotting were: p-mTOR(Ser2448), p-mTOR(Ser2481), p-rictor (Thr1135), p-Akt(Thr308), p-Akt(Ser473), p-LAT(Tyr171), p-S6 ribosomal protein (S6RP) (Ser240/244), p-4E-BP1(Thr37/46), and rictor (Cell Signaling Technology), and p-PLCγ1(Tyr783) (Invitrogen). The blocking donkey serum was from Santa Cruz Biotechnology and Torin1 (37 (link)) was a gift of Dr. Nathanael S. Gray, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. FITC-conjugated phalloidin and other chemicals and reagents were from Sigma-Aldrich.

To examine the effects of rapamycin, Ad-hMSCs were incubated for 48 h in the presence of rapamycin. The membrane was incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies against the following: p-mTOR, mTOR, p-Rictor, Rictor, p-Raptor, Raptor, Beclin1, ATG5, ATG7, LC3 II (all antibodies were from Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Danvers, MA, USA), and β-actin (Sigma, Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO). After washing in Tris-buffered saline and Tween 20 (TTBS), the reactive bands were visualized using an ECL detection kit and Hyperfilm-ECL reagents (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Little Chalfont, Bucks, UK).

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.
