Based on a previous report, proteins were measured through western blotting [15 (link)]. For the isolation of proteins in the tissues, nucleus pulposus tissues were first ground in chilled mortar in the presence of liquid nitrogen. Immediately after grinding, the tissue powder was lysed with radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer. Total proteins were then separated on polyacrylamide gels and transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane before being probed overnight at 4°C with antibodies (anticleaved-caspase-3, anticleaved-caspase-8, anti-cleaved-caspase-9, anti-MMP-1, anti-MMP-2, anti-MMP-3, anti-MMP-13, and anti-ADAMTS-4; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), then washed three times with PBST. Then, membranes were treated with the corresponding secondary antibodies. Finally, the membrane was processed using an ECL kit for color reaction. Western blotting results were normalized to those of GAPDH for quantification.

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.
