All targeted proteins were measured in the cytosolic protein fraction.
Protein concentrations in the cytosolic fraction were assessed using the Pierce
BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL). The protein homogenates
(30 μg of protein) with laemmli buffer were separated by sodium dodecyl
sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and transferred onto polyvinylidene
difluoride membranes. Membranes were probed with primary antibodies
(1:200–1,000 concentrations in 5% bovine serum albumin). Troponin
antibody was obtained from Cell Signaling (#4002; Beverly, MA); Akt and pAkt
from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (#8312, #33437, respectively; Santa Cruz, CA);
MuRF1 and atrogin1 from ECM Biosciences (MP3401, #AP2041; Versailles, KY); MHC
from R&D systems (mab4470, Minneapolis, MN); FOXO3 from Abcam (#12162,
Cambridge, MA); and pFOXO3 from Invitrogen (pa537578, Rockford, IL). Individual
protein bands were quantified using a densitometer (Bio-Rad), and normalized to
emerin (#5430, Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA) for the structural proteins, MHC and
troponin [24 (link)], and to β-actin
(#4967, Abcam, Cambridge, MA) for the other cytosolic proteins.

Comprehensive Protein Analysis Protocol

Total proteins were extracted with Laemmli lysis buffer, sonicated (30 s ON/30 s OFF for 5 min) resolved on 10.5% acrylamide/bis-acrylamide SDS–PAGE gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in transfer buffer. Protein transfer was assessed by Ponceau-red staining. Membranes were blocked in Tris-buffered saline pH 7.4 containing 0.1% Tween-20 and 5% milk for 1 h at room temperature. Incubations with primary antibodies were carried out at 4 °C overnight using the manufacturer recommended dilutions in Tris-buffered saline pH 7.4, 0.2% Tween-20. After 1 h incubation with an anti-rabbit or anti-mouse peroxidase-conjugated antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch) at room temperature, proteins were detected by chemiluminescence using SuperSignal (Thermo Fisher Scientific), with Fusion v15.11 software or with the LI-COR Odyssey FC Imaging System and Image Studio Lite Software. The following antibodies were used: mouse anti-MyHC (R&D Systems, MAB4470), rabbit anti-histone H3 (Abcam, ab1791), rabbit anti-GAPDH (Sigma, G9545), monoclonal anti-Flag M2-Peroxidase (Sigma, A8592), rabbit anti-MCK (Kindly provided by Dr Slimane Ait-si-Ali, raised by Dr H Ito), rabbit anti-SMYD3 (Abcam, ab187149), rabbit anti-SMYD3 (Diagenode, C15410253-100), rabbit anti-Cyclin D1 (Abcam, ab 16663), rabbit anti-P21 (ab 109199), mouse anti-MYOGENIN (F5D ab 1835).

The primary antibodies below were utilized: myosin heavy chain (MHC; R&D Systems, USA, MAB4470), slow MHC (Abcam, ab185967), fast MHC (Abcam, ab91506), MHC IIa (Abcam, ab124937), MHC IIb (Abcam, ab221149), myoglobin (Santa Cruz, USA, sc-393020), troponin I-ss (Santa Cruz, sc-514899), TOM20 (Abcam, UK, ab186735), TIM23 (Abcam, ab230253), SESN2 (Abcam, ab178518), AMPK (Cell Signaling Technology [CST], USA, 5831), phospho-AMPK (CST, 50081), PGC-1α (Abcam, ab106814), HIF-2α (Abcam, ab109616), GAPDH (Protein Technology, PRC, 60004-1-Ig). The primary antibody dilution factors were 1:3000 (R&D Systems), 1:5000 (Protein Technology), or 1:1000 (Abcam and CST).
In short, the protein was abstracted via RIPA lysis buffering solution to which 1% protease suppressor was added (Roche, USA, 11206893001). The same quantity of protein (10–50 μg) was isolated via 10% SDS–PAGE, and afterwards moved onto nitrocellulose films (Merck Millipore, USA, Z358657). The films were subjected to blockade with 5% w/v BSA prior to cultivation with the first antibodies under 4 °C overnight. Subsequently, the films were cultivated with second antibodies conjugated with antirabbit or antimouse IgG (Abcam) for 60 min under ambient temperature and visualized via the Immobilon ECL matrix tool (Merck Millipore, WBKLS0050).

For immunofluorescence studies, cells grown on a 4-well plate were fixed with freshly prepared 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 15 min at room temperature and permeabilized and blocked with 1% Triton-X, 1% BSA, and 10% FBS-contained PBS for 1 h at room temperature. The cells were incubated with primary antibodies in 10% FBS, 1% BSA, and 1% Triton-X-containing PBS overnight at 4°C. On the following day, the cells were washed three times in 0.1% Triton/PBS and incubated with fluorescent-labeled IgG (H + L) secondary antibodies (Abcam, Goat anti-mouse (Alexa Fluor 488): ab150113, (Alexa Fluor 594): ab150116, Goat anti-rabbit (Alexa Fluor 594: ab150080) at 1:500 dilutions in 1% FBS, 1% BSA, and 1% Triton-X-containing PBS for 2 h at room temperature. The cells were washed three times and filled with 0.1% Triton-containing PBS, and nuclei were counter-stained with DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich, D9542) for immunofluorescence. Primary antibodies used in this study include Anti-Myosin Heavy Chain antibody (MF20) (1:500, R&D Systems, MAB4470), Anti-Myogenin antibody (1:500, Abcam, ab124800), Anti-p-Histone H3 antibody (C-2) (1:1000, Santa Cruz, sc-374669), and Anti-Cleaved Caspase-3 antibody (Asp175) (5A1E) (1:500, Cell Signaling Technology, #9664). The observation was performed under a microscope (Keyence, BZ-X710).

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.
