Protein extracts from cells were prepared using 2% SDS lysis buffer including protein phosphatase inhibitor (Thermo Scientific™, #78,440). Total protein (20 μg) was subjected to 10% (v/v) SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to nitrocellulose filter membrane (Pall, #P-N66485). After blocking with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 2 h at 37 ℃, the membranes of proteins with different molecular weight (KDa) were cut according to the location of the markers (GenStar, M222) with enough spaces left at the edges of the first and the last sample lanes, then the cropped membranes were incubated with primary antibodies at 4℃ overnight.

The myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation in human endothelial cells was measured by western blot analysis (Aslam et al., 2010 (link)). Therefore, cells were harvested in 2x SDS-PAGE sample buffer and separated by 12.5% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes by semi-dry blotting. Membranes were probed using anti-phospho-MLC-2 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) and anti-actin (Sigma-Aldrich) in Tris-buffered saline with 0.1% (v/v) Tween 20 and 5% (w/v) BSA in a dilution of 1:3000 and 1:5000, respectively. Respective secondary HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit and anti-mouse IgG antibodies (Amersham BioSciences Buckinghamshire, UK) were used in a dilution of 1:10:000. Immunoreactivity was detected by Fusion-FX7 (PeqLab, Erlangen, Germany) with enhanced chemiluminescence and quantified by densitometric analysis by using Quantity One software (Bio-Rad, Munich, Germany). MLC phosphorylation was expressed in relation to the intracellular amount of actin.

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.
