After completing the last behavioral tests at 48 h, all rats were sacrificed
under deep anesthesia (5% sevoflurane). According to the literature,27 (link) the L3-L5
right DRGs were rapidly removed and stored in liquid nitrogen. Tissue samples
were homogenized in lysis buffer, which was centrifuged at 12,000 r/min for
10 min at 4°C to collect the supernatant. The protein concentration was measured
by BCA Protein Assay Kit (Solarbio, Beijing, China). Protein samples were
separated on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the fractionated
proteins were transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Thermo
Fisher Scientific, USA). After being blocked with 5% (w/v) skimmed milk for 1 h
at room temperature, the membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with the
diluted primary antibodies. The primary antibodies used were: anti-TRPA1
(GTX54765, GeneTex, USA), anti-TLR4 (GTX57153, GeneTex, USA), anti- NF-κB
(ab194726, Abcam, USA), and anti-GAPDH (ab8245, Abcam, USA). The membrane was
washed with Tris-buffered saline with Tween buffer and incubated with the goat
anti-mouse secondary antibody (ab150113, Abcam, USA) or goat anti-rabbit
secondary antibody (ab150080 Abcam, USA) for 1  h at room temperature. The bands
were scanned by ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Tanon, China) and analyzed by
Image J software.

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.
