Muscle Protein Expression Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For whole-muscle western blot analysis, approximately 50 mg gastrocnemius muscle was ground to a powder using a mortar and pestle in the presence of liquid nitrogen. Thereafter, the powder was resuspended in an amount of RIPA buffer (Sigma), homogenized for 60 s, and then centrifuged at 7,000 × g for 5 min. The supernatant was collected and protein concentration determined using the BradfordUltra method.
Samples were diluted in Laemmli buffer to yield between 20–60 μg of protein per sample that were separated by a 12% SDS-PAGE with proteins subsequently being transferred to nitrocellulose and thereafter probed against Cu/Zn SOD (SOD1) (Enzo), MnSOD (SOD2) (Abcam), NDUFS4 (Abcam), ENO3 (Abcam), and anti-eIF6 (produced in-house).

Analyzing Cardiac Protein Profiles

Heart homogenates or cell lysates were made in RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 1 mM EDTA) with a protease inhibitor cocktail. The protein concentrations were determined using a Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit. Protein samples (10–20 μg) were loaded per lane on an SDS-polyacrylamide gel. Antibodies were obtained from the following sources: ATPIF1 (catalog 8528), LDHA (catalog 2012), PKM2 (catalog 4053), VDAC (catalog 4661), vinculin (catalog 13901), and histone 3 (catalog 4499) were from Cell Signaling Technology; OXPHOS cocktail (catalog ab110413), cytochrome c core 1 (catalog ab110252), COX-4 (catalog ab14744), and HIF1α (catalog ab1) were from Abcam; NDUFS4 (catalog MA5-19432) and COX-1 (catalog PA5-26688) were from Thermo Fisher Scientific; cytochrome b (catalog sc-11436), ATP5A (catalog sc-136178), and ATP5B (catalog sc-33618) were from Santa Cruz Biotechnology; GFP (catalog 11814460001), β-actin (catalog A2103), and α-tubulin (catalog T6199) were from MilliporeSigma.

Blue Native Gel Electrophoresis of Mitochondrial Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Complex assembly analysis was carried out by Blue native gel electrophoresis (37 (link)). Sample preparation and Blue native gel electrophoresis were carried out as described previously (38 (link)). Briefly, the cells were suspended in lysis buffer and subjected to homogenization using a Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer with a rotating pestle until 80% of the cells were broken. The homogenate was then centrifuged at 700 g at 4°C to remove nuclear and cytoplasmic debris. The resulting supernatant was again centrifuged at 3000g to pellet the mitochondria. The mitochondrial protein concentration was determined using a BSA protein assay from Thermo-Fisher (Waltham, MA). For Western blotting and immunodetection, antibodies against complex I subunits NDUFA13 (Abcam, Cambridge, GBN), NDUFB6 (Abcam), NDUFS4 (Abcam) and NDUFA9 (Santa Cruz Biochemicals Dallas, TX) were utilized. The Western blots were carried out according to the protocol provided by Mitosciences. In-gel activity assays for Complex I and Complex V were conducted as described before (39 (link)). 2D-SDS electrophoresis was performed as previously described. Lanes from the Blue native gel were cut out and laid onto 10-16% gradient Tricine SDS PAGE gel as published previously (40 (link)).

Western blotting was performed using the Bio-Rad Criterion System. Proteins were resolved on Criterion TGX gels at 200V for 1 hour and transferred to PVDF membranes at 40 mA overnight or 250 mA for 100 minutes. Detection of protein succination was performed as previously described using a polyclonal anti-2SC antibody (Nagai 2007). Antibodies for PPARγ, cleaved caspase 3, GAPDH, eIF2α, p-eIF2α, succinate dehydrogenase (SDHA), fumarase, PDI, calreticulin, and Ero1-Lα were from Cell Signaling Technologies (Danvers, MA). NDUFS4 was from Abcam (Cambridge, MA). β-tubulin, and Grp78 were from Santa Cruz Biotech (Dallas, TX). Monoclonal anti-CHOP was from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA). Anti-adiponectin was from R&D systems (Minneapolis, MN). Chemiluminescent signals were captured on photographic film (Denville Scientific, Metuchen, NJ). Image J software (NIH) was used to quantify band intensity by densitometry.

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.
