Western blot analysis was utilized to evaluate the expression of IL-1β, IL-6 and ICAM-1 in mouse gingival tissues. Briefly, palatal gingival tissues were collected (2.0 mm × 2.5 mm) from mice in all the three groups 2 h after transfection. Total protein was then extracted from each tissue using RIPA buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and soluble proteins were resolved via 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Immobilon-P, Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). The blots were subsequently probed with a primary antibody for IL-6 (1:1 000; Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA), IL-1β (1:1 000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) or ICAM-1 (1:1 000; Proteintech, Chicago, IL, USA). Equal protein loading was confirmed by probing for β-actin(1:2 000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology). For chemiluminescence detection, we used a peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (1:10 000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology). The band intensities were measured using a ChemiDoc image analysis system (Fuji Film, Tokyo, Japan).

Preliminary process of tumor tissues from mice was similar to that of IHC. Antigen retrieval was performed by high-pressure heating with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0). Three percent H2O2 was used to block endogenous peroxidase activity.

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.
