Cells were washed once with ice cold PBS on ice, then lysed in 2x Laemmli Sample buffer, scraped and sonicated. All of the samples were boiled for 6 minutes at 100°C and analyzed by Western blotting. Protein samples were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to 0.20 µM pore size nitrocellulose membrane with Trans-Blot® Turbo™ Transfer System, 1.3 A, 25V for 10 minutes. The membranes were then blocked with 5% (w/v) nonfat dry-milk powder solution in TBS-Tween 20 (TBST) and incubated with specific primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. The primary antibodies used in this study were as follows: anti-Hsp90 (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat# 4874), anti-caveolin-1 (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 3238), β-tubulin (BD Biosciences, Cat# 556321), anti-dynamin II (BD Biosciences, Cat# 610263). After incubation with the primary antibodies, the membranes were washed three times for 10 minutes with TBST and incubated with horseradish-peroxidase (HRP) conjugated anti-mouse (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat# 7076) or anti-rabbit (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat# 7074) secondary antibodies. Immunoreactive proteins were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) using autoradiography films. ImageJ software (Research Services Branch, National Institute of Health (Bethesda, MD) was used for densitometric analyses.

Cells were washed in PBS and lysed in RIPA buffer (Elpis Biotech, Daejeon, Korea) supplemented with a protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich). Protein phosphorylation states were preserved through the addition of phosphatase inhibitors (Cocktail II, Sigma-Aldrich) to NP-40 buffer. Protein concentrations were determined using a BCA assay kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). The proteins (10 μg/sample) were resolved through SDS-PAGE and subsequently transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Millipore Corp., Billerica, MA, USA). The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk prior to Western blot analysis. Chemiluminescence was detected using an ECL kit (Advansta Corp., Menlo Park, CA, USA) and the Amersham Imager 600 (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Little Chalfont, UK). Primary antibodies against the following proteins were used: phospho-STAT3 (Tyr705), STAT3, β-actin, MMP2, MMP9, PARP, p105/p50, p100/p52, p65, and Rel-B (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA); phospho-JAK2 (Tyr221) and JAK2 (Bioss, Woburn, MA, USA); CD55 (Biorbyt, Woburn, MA, USA); β-tubulin (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA); and E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Snail, and CD97 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA).

Western Blot Analysis of Sirt1, Opa1, and β-tubulin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sample protein (30 µg) was separated using 7.5-15% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Blots were blocked in 5% non-fat dry milk in TBS/Tween-20 for 1 h at room temperature before incubation with the appropriate primary antibodies against Sirt1 (1:1,000; cat. no. 9475; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), Opa1 (1:1,000; cat. no. 612606; BD Biosciences) or β-tubulin (1:1,000; cat. no. HC101-01; TransGen Biotech) overnight at 4°C. The blots were then incubated with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (1:2,500; cat. no. 7074; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) or horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (1:2,500; cat. no. 7076; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) for 1 h at room temperature. Finally, protein bands on the membrane were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescent western blot detection reagent (EMD Millipore). Densitometry analysis was performed using ImageJ version 1.46 (National Institutes of Health).

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.
