LV tissue was homogenized in 1X lysis buffer (Cell Signaling# 9803) with a protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail. After homogenization, samples were centrifuged at 15,000 g for 15 minutes at 4°C and supernatant transferred to fresh tubes. Protein concentration in the supernatant was quantified with the bicinchoninic acid protein assay (Pierce# 23225). Equal amounts of proteins were subjected to SDS-PAGE and subsequently were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. A primary antibody incubations was performed at 1:1,000 dilution for anti-GSK-3α (Cell Signaling# 5676), phospho-GSK-3α (Cell Signaling #9316), Bax (Cell Signaling #2772), Bcl-xL (Cell Signaling #2764), VDAC (Cell Signaling #4661), 1:100 for Cyclin E (Santa Cruz #sc-481) and phospho-Cyclin E1 (Santa Cruz sc-12917-R) and 1:10,000 for GAPDH (Fitzgerald #10R-G109a). All incubations were done at 4°C, overnight. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor 680 (Molecular Probes), at 1:3,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature.

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.
