After stimulation, HK-2 cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS and lysed by RIPA (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) with phosphatase and protein inhibitor for 30 min on ice, followed by sonication twice. Then whole cell lysate was centrifuged at 4°C, and 16,000 × g for 10 min. The supernatants were collected for proteins analysis. Protein concentration in the supernatants was determined using the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay. Cell proteins (10 µg) were separated by 4-12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. The membrane was blocked in 5% milk at room temperature for 2 h and then were incubated in primary antibodies against LC3-I/II (product no. ABC929; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA), SIRT3 (product no. 5490S), phosphorylated (p)-AMPKα (Thr172) (product no. 2535S), AMPKα (product no. 2603S), p62 (product no. 5114S) and β-actin (product no. 3700S) (all 1:1,000; from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) at 4°C overnight. Membranes were washed in TBS-T (0.01% Tween) 3 times and incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (goat anti-mouse; cat. no. BA1050 and goat anti-rabbit, cat. no. BA1054 both from BOSTER Biological Technology co. ltd.) at room temperature for 1 h.

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.
