Pericytes were incubated for 48 h with 50 ng/ml FGF-2 in DMEM containing 2% FBS prior to stimulation with 10 ng/ml PDGF-BB for 10 min. For time-course experiments, cells were treated for 10 min, 1 and 6 h with 50 ng/ml FGF-2, 50 ng/ml PDGF-BB, or a mixture of FGF-2 and PDGF-BB. Non-treated pericytes were used as a control. Soluble proteins from total cell lysates were applied to an SDS-PAGE (NP0301; Invitrogen), followed by wet transferring onto a methanol-activated polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (LC2002, Invitrogen). Membranes were blocked at room temperature with 3% skim milk for 60 min, followed by incubation overnight with a rabbit anti-mouse PDGFRβ (1:1000; 28E1; Cell Signaling) antibody, a rabbit anti-mouse phospho-PDGFRβ antibody (1:1000; G63G6; Cell Signaling), or an anti-mouse β-actin antibody (1:1000; 3700S; Cell Signaling). Membranes were incubated at room temperature for 60 min with a mixture of secondary antibodies consisting of an anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated with IRDye 680RD (1:15,000; LI-COR; Lincoln) and an anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated with IRDye 800CW (1:15,000; LI-COR; Lincoln). Protein signals were captured using an Odyssey CLx system (LI-COR). Full-gel images are shown in Supplementary Fig. S6.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lysates from ASFV Georgia 2007/1 (VERO cell-adapted)-infected VERO cells were used to perform a western blot as previously described [11 ]. Briefly, the prepared cell lysates were electrophoresed on a NuPAGE 4–12% Bis-Tris Gel (1.0mm X 2D well) for 35 mins, followed by transfer to 0.2 μm PVDF membranes (Invitrogen #LC2002) for 1 hour. The membranes were then blocked for 1 hr. in blocking buffer (PBST+5% non-fat dry milk) and transferred to the Protean II Slot-Blotter. Sera from week 2 post-boost were diluted 1:250 in blocking buffer and added to individual wells for 1 hr. at room temperature with shaking. After washing the wells 3X with PBST, the membranes were removed from the blotting apparatus and incubated for 1 hr. with a 1: 2,000 dilution of Goat anti-swine-HRP (KPL #14-14-06). Following washes, the membranes were developed using DAB (Sigma #D4293). ASFV-specific convalescent serum (1:10,000) was used as a positive control and normal swine serum (1:200) was used as a negative control. Background reactivity to host-cell antigens was gauged similarly using mock-infected lysates. The western blot analysis was carried out at Plum Island Animal Disease Center.

The tissues were homogenized by bead milling for approximately 5 min at 4°C, and the cells were treated with lysis buffer for 30 min on ice. Proteins were then collected by centrifugation at 1,000 × g, at 4°C for 30 min. Subsequently, proteins (approximately 50 µg) were denatured, separated on 12% SDS/PAGE gels, and then transfected onto a PVDF membrane (LC2002, Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). This was followed by blocking of the membranes with 5% fat-free milk. Primary antibodies to FAT-1 (1:2,000, ab190242, Abcam) and GAPDH (1:2,000, ab8245, Abcam) were then separately incubated with the membrane for >8 h at 4°C. Subsequently, anti-rabbit IgG antibody (1:5,000, 7074, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) and anti-mouse IgG antibody (31430, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) were incubated with the membrane at room temperature for 2 h. Finally, the protein signal of the membrane was detected using ECL Chemiluminescent Substrate (WP20005, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and analyzed using an ImageQuant ECL Imager (28-9605-63, GE Healthcare).

Total proteins were extracted from the tissues or cells using RIPA buffer (89901, Thermo Scientific, USA) containing protease inhibitors (36978, Thermo Scientific, USA). The supernatant was then collected by centrifugation at 4°C for 30 min at 12,000 × g. The concentration of the protein was measured using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (P0012S, Beyotime). The proteins (50 μg per sample) were isolated on 10–12% SDS-PAGE and then transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (LC2002, Invitrogen, ThermoFisher, USA), which was blocked by 5% non-fat milk (PA201-01, BioMed, China) at room temperature for 1 h. The following primary antibodies were used for subsequent incubation: anti-PTGS2 antibody (ab15191, Abcam, UK); anti-HMGB1 antibody (ab18256, Abcam, UK); anti-GPX4 antibody (ab125066, Abcam, UK); anti-FTH1 antibody (ab183781, Abcam, UK) and anti-GAPDH antibody (ab8245, Abcam, UK). After incubation with the primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, the membrane was washed and probed by appropriate HRP-conjugated antirabbit IgG antibody (1:5,000, 7,074, Cell Signaling Technology, USA) for PTGS2, GPX4, and FTH1 or HRP-conjugated antiMouse IgG antibody (1:5,000, 70-GAM007, MultiSciences, China) at room temperature for 2 h.

MOVAS (a mouse aorta smooth muscle cell line) and SVEC4-10 cells (a mouse vascular endothelial cell line) were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (CRL-2797 and −2181, respectively). Primary culture of mouse aorta smooth muscle cells (VSMC) was described previously21 (link). At 80% confluence, the cells, grown in a 12-well plate, were treated with 1mM aspirin for 24 hours, and then lysed in cell extraction buffer (Cat. No. FNN0011, Invitrogen). The cell lysates were applied for immunoprecipitation (IP) using rabbit antibodies (bmal1, sc-48790, Santa Cruz; Ac-Lysine, 9814, Cell Signaling Technology) and Dynabeads Protein G (100.03D, Invitrogen) following manufacturer’s instruction. The precipitated proteins were eluted using NuPAGE LDS sample buffer (NP0007, Invitrogen) containing a reducing agent (NP0004, Invitrogen) at 70℃. The eluted samples were then resolved by SDS-PAGE gel, transferred to PVDF membranes (LC2002, Invitrogen) and analyzed by using antibodies against bmal1, Ac-lysine, and p53 (sc-126, Santa Cruz). As negative controls, IP was performed in the absence of antibody or in the presence of rabbit IgG.

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.
