Sourced in United States

The Anti-MMP-9 antibody is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and quantification of the Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) protein. MMP-9 is an enzyme involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix and is implicated in various physiological and pathological processes. The antibody can be used in various immunoassay techniques, such as Western blotting, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry, to measure the levels of MMP-9 in biological samples.

Total protein was extracted from the cells in RIPA lysis buffer as described previously [24 (link)]. Equal amounts of cell lysates (40 μg protein) were separated by 10% SDS/PAGE gel, then transferred on to PVDF membranes. Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies including anti-MMP-9 antibody (1:500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-TIMP1 antibody (1:500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and anti-β-actin antibody (1:1000, Sigma–Aldrich) overnight at 4 °C. Then, the membranes were incubated with secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (1:2000; Boster, Wuhan, China) for 1  h at room temperature. The blots were analyzed by chemiluminescence detection (ECL, Amersham).

The cytoplasmic proteins were prepared as we described before [30 (link)]. Briefly, hippocampal and cortical tissues were homogenized in RIPA buffer (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) containing protease inhibitor cocktail (10 mg/ml aproteinin, 5 mg/ml pepstatin, 5 mg/ml leupeptin, and 1 mM phenylmethanesulfonylfluoride) and placed on ice for 30 min. The homogenates were centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 25 min at 4°C. The supernatant was collected for Western blotting. Protein concentration was determined by BCA assay.
The primary antibodies used were the rabbit polyclonal anti-MMP9 antibody (1:200 dilution, catalogue number: sc-10737; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) and rabbit polyclonal anti-β-actin antibody (1:1000 dilution, catalogue number: 4967; Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Danvers, MA). The secondary antibody was goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (1:5000 dilution; Santa Cruz Biotechnology). The densities of MMP-9 protein bands were normalized to those of β-actin from the same sample.

The kidney tissue was homogenized in protein lysate buffer (Leagene, PS0013, China). The supernatant was harvested after centrifugation at 4°C, and the protein was quantified using a bicinchoninic acid assay kit (Leagene, PT0006, China). The proteins were separated by gradient sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Leagene, PE0017, China) and electrophoretically transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride blotting membranes (GE, 10600023, 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.
