Western blotting experiments were performed according to previous studies [40 (link)]. Briefly, proteins (50 μg) were loaded into a 10% SDS-PAGE gel and electrotransferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Millipore, USA). Membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C in primary antibodies recognizing Jagged-1 (1 : 1000, Cell Signaling Technology), Notch-1 (1 : 1000, Cell Signaling Technology), Hes-1 (1 : 1000, Cell Signaling Technology), CD31 (1 : 1000 dilution, Abcam), zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) (1 : 1000 dilution, Abcam), and vWF (1 : 500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Membranes were washed in TBS and incubated in secondary antibodies conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (1 : 1000, Cell Signaling Technology) for 2 h at room temperature. GAPDH (1 : 1000 dilution, Abcam) was used as an endogenous loading control. The ImageQuant LAS 4000 mini detection system (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK) was used for quantified densitometric analysis, and ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) was used to analyze results.

Western blotting experiments were performed following standard methods [27 (link)]. In brief, the proteins were loaded onto 10% SDS-PAGE and electrotransferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, USA). The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies against Bax and Caspase-3 (1 : 1,000, Cell Signaling Technology), as well as Bcl-2, NQO-1 (1 : 1000 dilution, Abcam, UK), and Nrf-2 (1 : 1,000, R&D), overnight at 4°C, followed by sequential incubation with the secondary antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (1 : 1000, Cell Signaling Technology), at room temperature for 2 h. GAPDH (1 : 1000 dilution, Abcam, UK) was used as the internal reference. Quantified densitometric analysis was conducted using an ImageQuant LAS 4000 mini detection system (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK), and the results were analyzed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD).

Genomic DNA samples (500 ng) were spotted onto Hybond N+ nylon membranes (GE Healthcare, Tokyo, Japan). The blotted membrane was dampened with TE and then applied to a UV-crosslink procedure (1200 J/cm2, 30 sec) using Stratalinker 2400 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The membrane was then blocked with 100% BlockAce (DS Pharma Biomedical, Osaka, Japan) for 30 min at room temperature and incubated with a mouse anti-5-methylcytosine (5-mC) monoclonal antibody (1:1,000 dilution, Catalog No 39649, Active Motif, Carlsbad, CA, USA), with a rabbit anti-5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) polyclonal antibody (1:10,000 dilution, Catalog No 39769, Active Motif), or with normal mouse IgG (1 μg/mL, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) overnight at 4°C. Thereafter, the membrane was incubated with HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (1:10,000, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. The chemiluminescent signals were detected using ECL kits (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, UK) and an ImageQuant LAS4000 mini detection system (GE Healthcare).

Stable cells were washed twice with PBS and suspended in a lysis buffer (2% Mercaptoethanol, 20% Glycerol, 4% SDS in 100 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 6.8). Equal amount of proteins were loaded and separated by SDS-PAGE, and then transferred onto PVDF membrane (Schleicher&Schuell Co, Keene, NH, USA) using an electro- blotting apparatus (Bio-RAD, Hercules, CA, USA). The membrane was blocked with 5% nonfat milk (R&D, Minneapolis, MN, USA) in TBST solution for 1 hour at room temperature, and incubated overnight at 4℃ with specific antibody to B7H3 (1 : 1000, ab134161; Abcam), cyclinD1 (1 : 1000, ab134175; Abcam), Rb (1 : 1000, ab181616; Abcam), E2F1 (1 : 1000, ab179445; Abcam). After three washes in TBST solution, the membrane was incubated with secondary antibody diluted with TBST solution at room temperature for 2 hours. The signals of detected proteins were visualized on Image Quant LAS 4000 mini detection system (GE, Boston, MA, USA). β-actin were used as a loading control.

The protein concentration was measured using the Protein Assay Rapid Kit (Wako, Osaka, Japan), and the lysate samples were used for immunoblotting. The primary antibodies were as follows: anti-Gapdh antibody (Proteintech, Rosemount, IL, USA) and anti-Ucp1 antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK). For the secondary antibodies, Anti-rabbit IgG, HRP-linked Antibody (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA) was used. An Enhanced Chemiluminescence Western Detection Reagent (Nacalai Tesque) was used for signal development. Resultant signals were captured using an ImageQuant LAS 4000 Mini Detection System (GE Healthcare Life Sciences). The density of each band was analyzed using ImageJ.

Tissue samples were collected from lumbar dorsal horns of the spinal cord at 5 min after injection and stored at -80°C. The tissues were homogenized and sonicated in RIPA (Conway Biotech, China). After centrifugation at 12000 g, the supernatants were collected to determine protein concentration by BCA kit (Solarbio, China). Then, equal amounts of protein were separated on SDS PAGE Bis-Tris 5-10% gels (Solarbil, China) and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (GE Healthcare). The blots were blocked with blocking buffer (5% nonfat dry milk in TBST and 0.1% Tween-20) for 1 h at room temperature and then incubated with rabbit-anti p44/42 Erk1/2 mAb (1:10,000), rabbit-anti phospho-p44/42 Erk1/2 mAb (1:10,000) and rabbit-anti glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; 1:10,000) overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation in goat-horseradish peroxidase-linked secondary antibodies (1:2000) for 1 h at room temperature. Immunoblots were developed with enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (Conway Biotech, China), and the intensities of protein bands were quantified by the ImageQuant LAS4000 Mini detection system (GE Healthcare, Sweden).

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.
