Whole cell extracts were prepared by incubating cells with RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 0.5% NaDeoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 25 mM DTT, 10 mM EDTA, 1 mM PMSF) plus 1 μl each of protease and phosphatase inhibitor mixes (Sigma, St Louis, MO) per 100 μl buffer. After removing cell debris by centrifugation, protein concentration was determined using a micro BCA assay (Pierce/ThermoScientific, Rockford, IL). Extracts (20–50 μg per well) were separated on a Criterion TGX gel (Biorad, Hercules, CA), transferred to PVDF membrane and probed with rabbit anti-FLI1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX) or rabbit anti-βactin (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) antibodies. Anti-FLI1 was detected with an anti-rabbit biotin antibody (Pierce/ThermoScientific) followed by an AlexaFluor-647 streptavidin-conjugated antibody (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). Blots were stripped and reprobed with anti-βactin and detected with a goat anti-rabbit AlexaFluor-647 antibody (Life Technologies). Blots were scanned on an Odyssey Infrared Imaging system and software (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE).

Media were removed from cells and centrifuged for 5 min at 5000 g, 4°C to pellet cellular debris. The supernatant was used for sucrose gradient separation of adiponectin multimers or ammonium sulphate precipitation for non-denatured Western blot analysis as previously described [4 (link),16 (link)]. For sucrose gradients, 50 µl of unconcentrated media were loaded onto the sucrose gradient. Whole cell lysates were boiled in SDS/PAGE loading dye with DTT for 20 min, then separated by SDS/PAGE and subsequently transferred to Immobilon-FL membrane, 0.45 μm (Merck-Millipore, Bayswater, VIC, Australia) for Western blot analysis. Adiponectin monomers and trimers were prepared as previously characterized [17 (link)]. Monomers were reduced with DTT and boiled whereas trimers were only reduced. Sample loading was calculated by loading the volume of media relative to equal volumes of RNA; hence, normalization was calculated based on RNA. Primary antibodies included anti-carboxy terminus GLT25D1 (C-16) (Santa Cruz), anti-PLOD3 purified MaxPab (Abcam), anti-adiponectin (Abcam), in-house anti-adiponectin [18 (link)], anti-β-tubulin (Sigma–Aldrich) and anti-c-Myc (9E10) (Sigma–Aldrich). Analysis and quantitation of Western blots were conducted using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System and Software (LI-COR Biotechnology, Lincoln, NE, U.S.A.).

For the western blot analysis, the cells were lysed in RIPA buffer containing 0.3 M NaCl, 1% sodium desoxycholate, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 1% Triton X-100, 20 mM Tris-HCL (pH 8.0), 1 mM EDTA and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF). Protein (25 μg) was fractionated by 15% SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Millipore Corporation, Bedford, MA, USA). The membranes were blocked in Odyssey buffer (Li-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA) for 1 h. The protein expression levels were determined by immunoblotting with the polyclonal antibodies anti-hLifeguard β-isoform (1:200 dilution; generated in our laboratory) and monoclonal anti-hNGF-R, TrK-A/B, Act-p, actin (all used at 1:500; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) at 4°C overnight. To quantify the protein expression levels, Odyssey 680/800 nm secondary conjugates were used, and the PVDF membranes were analyzed using the Odyssey infrared imaging system and software (Li-COR Biosciences).

Quantification of Angiotensin Receptor Proteins

Extracts of rat tissue were collected using tissue lysis buffer (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China) plus 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. Total protein was quantified using a bicinchoninic acid protein assay (Pierce; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Proteins were separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electrophoretically transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. The membranes were blocked with PBS and Tween 20 containing 5% non-fat dry milk to prevent nonspecific antibody binding. Equal protein loading was determined using specific antibodies for the antigens of GAPDH (CWBiotech, Beijing, China), ACE1, AT1R and AT2R (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), washed, and incubated with an appropriate IRDye800-conjugated secondary antibody (Rockland, Gilbertsville, PA, USA). Specific immunofluorescence bands were detected and analyzed using the Odyssey infrared imaging system and software (LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA).

Proteins were extracted as described in (Vultur et al., 2008 (link)), and 50μg of cell extract were resolved on a 10% polyacrylamide-SDS gel before being transferred onto a polyvinylidene membrane (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA). All primary antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technologies (Beverly, MA, USA). The secondary antibodies IRDye 700 and IRDye 800 were obtained from Li-Cor (Lincoln, NE, USA). Membranes were imaged and analyzed using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System and software (Li-Cor). Relative band intensities are derived from 3 separate experiments. To identify the relative levels of phosphorylated RTKs across different melanoma models, the PathScan RTK Signaling Antibody Array Kit was used (#7949; Cell Signaling Technologies), using the manufacturer’s instructions.

Each sample (20 μl) was dissolved in 7.5 μl loading buffer. The samples were applied with a protein marker on a native polyacrylamide gel, which had been equilibrated in a forerun with 0,5× TBE as running buffer for 30 min at 25 mA. The subsequent run with the samples was at 25 mA for 3 h. The blotting onto a PVDF membrane (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA, USA), which had been previously activated in 99% ethanol, was carried out overnight at 40 V and 80 mA. Immunoblotting was performed with polyclonal antibodies: anti-FAIM2 (1:200 dilution), anti-Trim21 (1:200 dilution) (both from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) and anti-actin (1:200 dilution; Abcam, Cambridge, UK).

Briefly, muscles were lysed with bead homogenizer (Precelly 24 lysis & homogenization, Bertin technologies) in ice-cold RIPA buffer: 25 mM Tris pH 7.6, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM Na3VO4, 10 mM NaPyroPO4, 10 mM β-glycerophosphate, 10 mM NaF, 1 mM PMSF, 1X protease inhibitor cocktail (Santa Cruz), 1% NP40, 1% sodium deoxycholate and 0.1% SDS. After quantification by BCA protein assay (Thermo Scientific) equal amounts of muscle homogenates were resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membrane (Millipore, Billercia, United States) and probed using primary antibodies from the vendors and at the dilutions shown in Supplementary Table 1 with LI-COR IRDye secondary antibodies (LI-COR Inc, Lincoln, United States). Immunoreactive bands were visualized and quantified by densitometry using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System and software (LI-COR). To control for variations among different western blots and allow for multiple repeats, the absorbance intensity for each band on the western blot was normalized to the absorbance intensity of corresponding band from the control mice from the same western blot, averaged with values obtained from other western blots and plotted as % control. Some blots had multiple controls and the absorbance of the specific band was normalized to the average56 (link). Full length western blots are show in Supplementary Fig. 9.

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.
