Western blot analysis was performed as previously described [24 (link)]. Hippocampal tissue samples were homogenized in an ice-cold RIPA buffer (Beyotime, Jiangsu, China) supplemented with a protease inhibitor. The homogenates were centrifuged at 12,000 × g for 5 min at 4°C, supernatants were collected and their protein concentrations determined with the BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime, Jiangsu, China). Proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), using 8% or 10% polyacrylamide gels, depending on the molecular weight separation range needed. After bands were transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes, the membranes were incubated at 4°C for overnight with the appropriate primary antibody, anti-BACE-1 (CST, Danvers, USA), anti-APP (CST, Danvers, USA) or anti-Aβ42 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), each diluted 1:500. To detect labeled protein bands, the membranes were next incubated for 2 h with the appropriate fluorescently labeled secondary antibody at room temperature. Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software (Media Cybernetics, Washington, USA) was used to analyze the fluorescence data for each blot. Anti-β-actin (1:750; ZSGB-BIO, Beijing, China) was also used as a protein loading control for each sample. Results are presented as the ratio of the intensity of the APP, BACE-1 and Aβ42 band to that of the β-actin band.

Total proteins were isolated from the treated EC-1 cells using RIPA buffer (Solarbio) and stored at -80°C, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Protein concentration was determined by measuring the absorbance (optical density, OD562), using BCA Protein Assay Kit (Biotech Well, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China). Briefly, 40 µg of total protein isolated from each sample was separated on 10%–15% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gels (PAGE) and then transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Millipore) at 100 mV for 1.5–2 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.
