Total protein of ox-LDL-induced HAECs with transfection was extracted with radio-immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Next, total protein was segregated with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (8-12%, SDS-PAGE). Following that, the wet electrophoretic transfer method was executed for transference of the segregated protein to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Afterward, tris buffered saline tween (TBST) buffer with 5% skim milk was employed to block the PVDF membranes. After that, the PVDF membranes were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. The antibodies were as follows: anti-Nod2 (ab31488, 1 : 1000, Abcam), anti-LOX-1 (ab60178, 1 : 1000, Abcam), and anti-β-actin (ab11003, 1 : 1000, Abcam). Then, the membranes were incubated with goat anti-mouse (ab205719, 1 : 2000, Abcam) or rabbit (ab205718, 1 : 2000, Abcam) IgG. β-actin was regarded as a loading control. Finally, the bands were visualized with the Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Millipore).

Western Blot Analysis of Cell Signaling

With cold PBS flushing of the cultured cells, and then load in 1 x SDS buffer processing under 100°C for 10 minutes, samples were centrifuged at 12,000 rcf for 5 minutes; then, approximately 10 μl of protein was added to each electrophoresis channel lane and finally separated and shifted onto PVDF membranes. The obtained samples were sealed with skimmed milk mixture 5% for one hour at room temperature and then hatched with the primary antibody at 4°C for 8–12 h. Membranes that have been incubated with the primary antibody are rinsed with configured TBS-T buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20) and finally incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody. The antibodies were mouse anti-β-Tubulin (Cell Signaling, No 6181), rabbit anti-N-Cadherin (No 13116), and rabbit anti-E-Cadherin (No 3195) which were from Cell Signaling. The antibodies were rabbit anti-MCEMP1 (ab188572), rabbit anti-TLR4 (ab13556), human anti-NOD2 (ab31488), and rabbit anti-NFκB (ab32360) which were from Abcam.

The immunofluorescence assay was performed as described before15 (link). Antibody against NOD2 was purchased from Abcam (#ab31488, Cambridge, MA, USA), and the other antibodies were the same as used for western blot. The in vitro protein translation assay was performed by TNT Quick Coupled Transcription and Translation System (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) as previously described15 (link).

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.
