We followed a method in ref. 23 (link). Briefly, human embryonic kidney (HEK293T) cells in 12-well plates were co-transfected with pcDNA3.1-based A3G, sA3G, or their mutant expression vector (0.66 μg) and pcDNA-HVif, pcDNA-HVif-H41A/H42A or empty pcDNA3.1 vector (1.32 μg) with the transfection reagent, FuGene HD (Promega). After incubation for 24 h, 2 μM MG132 or DMSO was added to the medium, and cells were incubated for an additional 24 h. Resulting cell lysates were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoprobed with monoclonal anti-c-myc (9E11, Abcam), anti-Vif (319, Abcam), or anti-α-tubulin primary antibodies (DM1A, Abcam), and monoclonal anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody conjugated with a fluorophore (ab216772, Abcam). Protein bands were detected with a ChemiDoc system (Bio-Rad Laboratories) and analyzed using NIH ImageJ59 (link).

To visualise protein expression during mini-genome assays, around 500,000 transfected cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% Sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 50mM TRIS, pH 7.4) supplemented with an EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail tablet (Roche).
Proteins were detected with mouse α-FLAG (F1804, Sigma), rabbit α-Vinculin (AB129002, Abcam), rabbit α-PB2 (GTX125926, GeneTex) and mouse α-NP ([C43] ab128193, Abcam). The following near infrared (NIR) fluorescently tagged secondary antibodies were used: IRDye® 680RD Goat Anti-Rabbit (IgG) secondary antibody (Ab216777, Abcam) and IRDye® 800CW Goat Anti-Mouse (IgG) secondary antibody (Ab216772, Abcam). Western Blots were visualised using an Odyssey Imaging System (LI-COR Biosciences).

Western Blot Analysis of Cell Lysates

Cells (~5 × 106) were lysed in RIPA buffer RIPA Buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, with 150 mM sodium chloride, 1.0% Igepal CA-630 (NP-40), 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, and 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate) supplemented with complete protease inhibitor cocktail, kept on ice for 20 min. Lysates were then cleared by centrifugation (12,300 × g, 10 min, 4 °C). Protein concentrations in the cleared supernatants were determined with Bio-Rad protein assay (Bio-Rad, CA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In total, 20 µg proteins were separated by SDS–PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Membranes were blocked and incubated with antibodies against vinculin (1:40,000, MAB3574 millipore Sigma), CDKN2A/p16INK4A [EPR1473] (1:500, ab108349, Abcam), CDKN2A/p14ARF [EPR17878] (1:500, ab185650, Abcam), Primary antibodies were detected by fluorescent Goat anti Rabbit IgG H&L (1:10,000, IRDye® 800CW preadsorbed, ab216773, Abcam) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (1:10,000, IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216772, Abcam). Membranes were imaged using Odyssey CLx imaging system (Li-Cor, Nebraska, USA).

Western Blot Analysis of Autophagy Markers

HPAECs were dissolved in RIPA lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). Protease inhibitors were added, and the lysate was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C. The protein concentration was determined using the bicinchoninic acid protein assay. Proteins were separated and an adequate concentration was added for SDS-PAGE, followed by electrotransfer onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. The membranes were blocked using 5% bovine serum albumin with 0.1% Tween 80, incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, and then washed three times with TBST. The membranes were probed with antibodies against LC3 (ab192890; 1:2000; Abcam) as an autophagy marker protein. An increase in the LC3II/LC3I ratio is indicative of autophagy activation. The membranes were also probed with antibodies against P62 (ab109012; 1:10,000; Abcam), PIF1 (sc-48,377; 1:100; SANTA CRUZ), and β-actin (ab8226; 1:1000; Abcam). Finally, the membranes were incubated with anti-rabbit (ab216773; 1:10,000; Abcam) or anti-mouse (ab216772; 1:10,000; Abcam) secondary antibodies for 1 h. Protein bands of interest were detected using an Amersham Imager 600 (Cytiva, Marlborough, MA, USA) and quantified using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Intracellular protein was extracted from cells using the NucBuster Protein Extraction Kit (Merck, 77183) and quantified using Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 23225). A total of 40 µg of cytoplasmic protein was diluted in laemmli buffer (Bio-Rad, 1610747) with beta-mercaptoethanol, denatured at 95 °C for 5 min and loaded onto Mini-PROTEAN TGX Gels (Bio-Rad, 4568084). Samples were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes using the TransBlot Tubro system (Bio-Rad, 170–4270) and protein visualised with Ponceau Stain (G-Biosciences). Membranes were blocked in 5% BSA TBS-T (5% BSA in 1× Tris-buffered saline and 0.1% Tween 20) for 1 h and incubated with primary antibodies overnight in 5% BSA TBS-T (MMP1 1:1000 ab137332, MMP2 1:1000 D4M2N Cell Signalling, B-actin 1:10,000 ab8226, Abcam). Membranes were washed with TBS-T and incubated in secondary antibodies (Dnk pAb to Rb IgG IRDye 680RD, ab216779, Goat pAb to Ms IgG IRDye 800CW, ab216772, Abcam) for 1 h at room temperature. Membranes were visualised using the Odyssey CLx system (Licor).

The CAL27 and SCC15 cells with the indicated treatment and tumor tissues (tumor tissue was ground using a tissue grinder) from tumorigenicity analysis in the nude mice were isolated by RIPA reagents supplemented with 1% proteinase inhibitor (Sigma, USA) and quantified by BCA Kit (Sigma, USA). The samples were subjected into SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis (12%) and transferred into PVDF membranes (Millipore, USA), blocking using nonfat milk (5%) at 25°C for 2 hours and incubating with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. The samples were further incubated using secondary antibodies at 25°C for 1.5 hours at room temperature and detected using enhanced chemiluminescence solution (Millipore, USA). The antibodies information was shown as follows: SLC7A11 (ab175186, Abcam, USA), β-actin (ab8226, Abcam, USA), GPX4 (ab125066, Abcam, USA), second antibodies (ab216773 (Goat anti-Rabbit), ab216772 (Goat anti-Mouse), Abcam, USA).

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.
