The expressions of melanogenic proteins were determined using the western blotting analysis which was modified from a previous study (16 (link)). Briefly, 40 μig of protein lysate obtained from treated B16 cells was electrophoresed and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Millipore, Germany). The membrane was treated individually with primary antibody including rabbit polyclonal anti-MITF, 1:1000 (ab 20663, Abcam, UK); rabbit polyclonal anti- TYR, 1:1000 (ab 180753, Abcam, UK); mouse monoclonal anti-TRP-1, 1:100 (ab 3312, Abcam, UK); rabbit polyclonal anti-TRP-2, 1:100 (ab 74073, Abcam, UK), and rabbit polyclonal anti-β-actin, 1:1,000 (ab 8227, Abcam, UK) at room temperature for 1 h with agitation before washing with 1× tris-buffered saline and Tween® 20 (TBST), pH 7.2 for three times. The membrane was then treated with secondary antibody including polyclonal goat anti-rabbit IgG-horseradish peroxidase(HRP), 1:1,000 (P0448, Dako, Denmark) and polyclonal goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP, 1:1,000 (P0447, Dako, Denmark) at room temperature for 1 h with gentle agitation. Then, washed the m emb rane with 1× TBST, pH 7.2 for 5 min three times, and incubated with Luminata Forte western HRP substrate (Merck, Germany) for 10 min. The proteins were then visualized using a gel documentation analyzer (ImageQuant LAS 500, UK) and analyzed the densitometry by Image J software.

To verify the expression of the transgene, Lenti-X cells were seeded in 10 cm plates and transfected or transduced with plasmids or vectors expressing TRP2 and GFP at 37 °C in atmosphere containing 5% CO2. Thirty-six hours post-transfection or post-transduction supernatants and cells were collected. Equivalent amounts of cells, supernatants, and vector preparations were lysed in lysis buffer (20 mM HEPES, 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM EDTA, 2 mM EGTA, 0.5%, NP-40, 50 mM NaF, 1 mM orthovanadate, 1 mM PMSF, 5 mg/mL of aprotin, and 5 mg/mL of leupeptin). Proteins were separated on 12% SDS polyacrylamide gel and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA). B16F10 cells were used as positive controls for expression of TRP2. The filters were saturated overnight with 5% nonfat dry milk (NFDM) in PBST (PBS with 0.1% Tween 20) and then incubated with rabbit anti-TRP2 polyclonal antibody (ab74073, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 1 h at room temperature, followed by incubation for 1 h at room temperature with an anti-rabbit HRP-conjugated IgG (Sigma). The immunocomplexes were visualized using chemiluminescence ECL detection system (Luminata Crescendo Western HRP Substrate, Millipore).

For whole mount preparation, individual hair follicles were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 50980487) for 30 minutes at room temperature and incubated for 1 hour in a blocking buffer containing 10% goat serum (Sigma Aldrich, G9D23) and 5% BSA (Sigma Aldrich, A3294). The hair follicles were subsequently incubated with diluted primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. TRP-2 (abcam, ab74073; 1:100), Ki67 (abcam, ab15580; 1:100), TRP-1 (abcam, ab186929; 1:100), and γH2AX (abcam, ab81299; 1:100) were used as the diluted primary antibodies. The hair follicles were then incubated with 1:500 diluted secondary antibodies for 1 hour at room temperature. Alexa Fluor 594 (goat anti-rabbit IgG; Thermo Fisher Scientific, A-11012) and Alexa Fluor 488 (goat anti-rabbit IgG; Thermos Fisher Scientific, A-11008) were used as the diluted secondary antibodies. Nuclei was labeled with VECTASHIELD Mounting Medium containing DAPI (Vector Laboratories, H-1200).
In the TUNEL assay, cell death was detected by TUNEL staining (TdT-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end labeling technique) using the “in situ cell death detection kit” (Roche Diagnostics, 11684795910). Images were captured using confocal microscopy (Zeiss Axio Observer Z1 Inverted Phase Contrast Fluorescence microscope). Standard microscopy techniques were used to adjust brightness, contrast, focus, and image capture.

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.
