For Western blotting, the total protein of each sample was measured by the BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, USA). The protein from each sample was separated by 4–12% NuPAGE (180-8018H, Tanon). After transfer of proteins to polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Millipore, Billerica, USA), the membrane was blocked with 5% skim milk for 1.5 h at room temperature and incubated for 2 h at room temperature with the primary antibodies: anti-VEGF antibody (1:1000, 19003-1-AP, Proteintech), anti-PI3K antibody (1:1000, 4257, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-p-PI3K antibody (1:1000, 4228, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-AKT antibody (1:1000, 4691, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-p-AKT antibody (1:2000, 4060 T, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-ERK antibody (1:1000, 4695, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-p-ERK antibody (1:2000, 4370, Cell Signaling Technology), and anti-GAPDH antibody (1:10000, 60004-1-Ig, Proteintech). Thereafter, the membrane was incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 h and treated with enhanced chemiluminescent reagent kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, USA). The bands were scanned and digitalized. The density of each band was quantified using ImageJ and normalized to the values of GAPDH.

After being cultured in adipogenic or osteogenic medium, BMSCs were harvested and lysed with RIPA (Solarbio). Protein concentrations were quantified using a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Equal amounts of protein were denatured and resolved by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore), incubated with 5% skimmed milk (Biofath) for 1–1.5 h at 25 °C, and then incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies. Primary antibodies were diluted as follows: PPARγ (1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), Fabp4 (1:1000; Abcam), Runx2 (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), and ALP (1:1000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology). β-Actin (1:5000; Cell Signaling Technology) or α-Tubulin (1:10,000; Sungene Biotech) was used as loading control. Consecutively, the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:2000; Cell Signaling Technology) dissolved in blocking buffer for 2 h at 25 °C. Blots were detected using an enhanced chemiluminescent reagent kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Quantification and Western Blot Analysis of Protein Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The total protein was extracted from the HOEC cell line or OSCC cell lines using radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer and was quantified with the Pierce BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). After that, 30 μg extracted protein was loaded into an 10% SDS-PAGE gel and separated by electrophoresis. Next, the protein bands were electrotransferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Millipore, USA) and washed three times with PBST (0.1% Tween 20–phosphate-buffered saline [PBS] [vol/vol]). The membrane was then blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 2 h at room temperature, followed by primary antibody incubation overnight at 4°C. After washing the membrane three times with PBST, it was incubated in diluted secondary antibody at room temperature for 1.5 h. Finally, the blots were visualized with the Enhanced Chemiluminescent reagent kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific. USA). The primary antibodies used were rabbit monoclonal anti-SERPINE1 (1:1,000, catalog no. ab222754; Abcam, USA) and mouse monoclonal anti-GAPDH (1:1,000, catalog no. ab8245; Abcam, USA). The secondary antibodies were horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG(H+L) (1:1,000, catalog no. ab205718; Abcam, USA) and HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG(H+L) (1:1,000; catalog no. ab6789; Abcam, USA).

Brain Microvascular Protein Analysis

Brain microvascular segments were isolated from brain tissues by density gradient centrifugation with 15% dextran and stored at −80°C until needed. TGN lysis buffer (HEPES 50.0 mmol/L, NP-40 0.5%, Tween-20 1.0%, PMSF 1.0 mmol/L, NaF 1.0 mmol/L, NaVO3 1.0 mmol/L) was used for extraction of proteins from cultured cells and microvascular tissues of the rat brain. After blocking with 5% milk, blotting membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with the primary antibodies for ZO-1 (1:1000), claudin-5 (1:1000), occludin (1:500), Akt (1:2000, 4685, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), p-Akt (Ser473) (1:2000, 9271S, Cell Signaling), GSK-3β (1:1000, 9315, Cell Signaling), p-GSK-3β (Ser9) (1:1000, 9336S, Cell Signaling), β-catenin (1:1000, 8480T, Cell Signaling), and β-actin (1:1000, 4970S, Cell Signaling). The membranes were then washed, incubated with secondary antibodies, and processed with an enhanced chemiluminescent reagent kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The relative levels of the target proteins were analyzed by a densitometric method. The relative levels of claudin-5, ZO-1, occludin, and β-catenin were normalized to that of β-actin. The p-Akt and p-GSK-3β levels were normalized to those of total Akt and GSK-3β, respectively.

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.
