Western blotting was used to detect the protein levels of Olr1, Hdlbp, Ldlr, Srebp-1c, Lp-pla2, Abcg1, Abca1, and Gapdh in RAW264.7 cells. Cells were routinely lysed to extract proteins. The extracted proteins were quantified using a BCA protein quantification kit (Thermo, USA). Conventional electrophoresis, membrane transfer, and antigen blocking operations were performed. Primary antibodies against Olr1 (dilution 1:1000; DF6522, Affinity, Melbourne, Australia), Hdlbp (1:1000; ab133594, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), Ldlr (1:1000; DF7696, Affinity), Srebp-1c (1:1000; AF4728, Affinity), Lp-pla2 (1:1000; MA5-33112, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), Abcg1 (1:1000; ab52617, Abcam), Abca1 (1:1000; ab66217, Abcam), and Gapdh (1:5000; AB0037, Abways, Shanghai, China) were added to the incubation and incubated overnight in a box at 4 °C. The next day, the secondary antibody was added after the primary antibody was rinsed. Imaging agent (Tianneng, Shanghai, China) was added to the PVDF membrane to stain proteins. The experiments were repeated three times.

Protein was extracted from cells or tissues using RIPA buffer with protease inhibitors (Sigma). Then, 5 × protein loading buffer was added to the sample at a protein: buffer ratio of 4:1, and the sample was heated in a metal bath at 60 °C for 10 min. Protein electrophoresis was performed using the TGX FastCast acrylamide kit (BIO) and then transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Bedford, MA, America). After blocking in 5% skim milk for 2 h, the membrane was incubated with primary antibody (1:1000 or 1:500) in a refrigerator at 4 °C overnight. GAPDH was used as the loading control. Next, the membrane was washed in (0.1%) (TBS-T) at least three times for 10 min each and incubated with horseradish peroxidation-enhanced secondary antibody (1:10,000) for 2 h. ECL Prime (G.E.) was used to test the protein bands according to the manufacturer's instructions. The antibodies used in the experiment were as follows: GAPDH (ProMab,20,035); ABCA1 (Abcam,ab66217); ABCG1 (Abcam,ab52617); and p-PKCα (Abcam, ab32502;PKCα (Abcam, ab32376).

Cell lysates were extracted using RIPA lysis buffer (G2033, Servicebio). Total cell protein was normalized using the BCA method (23, 227, Thermo Fisher) and separated using 8-12% SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis before being transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. After blocking with 5% milk for 1 h, the membrane was incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C and secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. Antibodies used were as follows: anti-HOXB2 (1:1000, AY2582, Abways), anti-Beta Actin (1:5000, AB0035, Abways), anti-Beta tubulin (1:5000, 10086-1-AP, Proteintech), anti-γH2A.X (1:1000, GB111841, Servicebio), anti-Chk2 (1:10000, CY5633, Abways), anti-phospho Chk2 Thr68 (CY8878, Abways), anti-Chk1 (1:1000, 2360, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-phospho Chk1 Ser345 ((1:1000, 2348, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-ABCA1 (1:1000, ab66217, ABCAm), anti-ABCG1 (1:1000, 13578-1-AP, Proteintech), anti-phospho Erk1/2 Thr202/Tyr204 (1:2000, 4370, Cell Signaling Technology), and anti-Erk1/2 (1:1000, 4695, Cell Signaling Technology).

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.
