Lung tissue samples were lyophilized and weighed. Consistent amounts of each sample (10 mg) were digested in a fixed volume of cold radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (Sigma-Aldrich) with protease/phosphatase inhibitors (Cell Signaling) for 1 hour at 4°C, followed by centrifugation at 14,000g for 30 min at 4°C to remove insoluble material. Cell pellets [SAECs and human umbilical cord endothelial cells (HUVECs)] were digested in RIPA buffer, and protein concentration was quantified via Bradford assay. Samples were reduced in Laemmli buffer (Novex, Life Technologies) for 10 min at 70°C. Samples were run on 4 to 12% polyacrylamide gels (Invitrogen); 30 μg of SAEC and HUVEC cell extracts were loaded as control. After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane or polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Bio-Rad). Membranes were blocked for 1 hour in blocking/probing buffer (PBS with 5% nonfat dry milk, Bio-Rad; 0.1% Tween, Sigma-Aldrich). Primary antibodies were applied overnight in blocking/probing buffer, followed by 3× 10-min wash in PBS 0.1% Tween 20 (42 (link)). Secondary antibody was applied for 1 hour at room temperature at a dilution of 1:5000, followed by three washes, as described above. Protein signal was detected using an Odyssey 2.1 scanner. Antibody sources and dilutions are described in tables S1 and S2.

Protein lysates were collected at 4 °C in RIPA buffer (Sigma) supplemented with protease inhibitors (10uM leupeptin, 5ug/ml pepstatin A, 3ug/ml aprotinin, 25ug/ml ALLN, and 0.5mM PMSF). Conditioned growth medium was collected at 4 °C with protease/phosphatase inhibitors (Cell Signaling) and concentrated with Amicon Ultra-15 filters (30-kDa cut-off, EMD Millipore). Total protein concentration was determined by BCA method (ThermoFisher) and equal amounts of total protein were loaded onto 8% or 4–12% Bis-Tris Plus Gels (ThermoFisher). Following electrophoresis (100 V, 1h), proteins were transferred to iBlot® 2 Transfer Stacks, nitrocellulose membranes (ThermoFisher Scientific).

Adherent cells were removed from their flasks with trypsin or 20 mM EDTA in PBS, then washed several times in PBS before lysing in 1x Cell Lysis Buffer (Cell Signaling Technology; Danvers, MA) containing 1x protease/phosphatase inhibitors (Cell Signaling Technology) Suspension cells were similarly washed in PBS before lysis. Lysates were reduced with 10% 2-mercaptoethanol and run on 4–20% Tris-Glycine SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes, then probed with a goat polyclonal anti-EpCAM antibody (R&D, Cat# AF960), followed by a donkey anti-goat 800CW antibody (Licor), after which the membranes were scanned on an Odyssey (Licor).
For cell surface biotinylation experiments, biotinylation was performed on cells after removal from the flask, using the Pierce Cell Surface Biotinylation and Isolation kit (ThermoFisher). Cells not incubated with biotin were processed in parallel as controls. After biotinylation, cells were lysed according to the manufacturer's instructions, and protein concentrations in lysates were quantified prior to purification of biotinylated proteins with NeutrAvidin agarose. The proportion of purified protein equivalent to the original mass of total lysate was run on SDS-PAGE, then probed with antibodies as described above.

Quantifying Phosphorylated Proteins in Skeletal Muscle

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Approximately 30 mg tibialis anterior muscle were lysed in RIPA buffer containing protease/phosphatase inhibitors (Cell Signaling Technology, #5872S) with TissueLyser. A total of 30 µg of protein were used for Western blotting. Primary antibodies against p-AKT (S473, Cell Signaling Technology, #4060, rabbit), AKT (Cell Signaling Technology, #4691, rabbit), PTEN (Cell Signaling Technology, #9188, rabbit), pp38 (Cell Signaling Technology, #4511S, rabbit), and p38 (Cell Signaling Technology, #8690S, rabbit) were used for Western blots. Quantification of Western blotting was performed using NIH Image J software. For unknown reasons, only in cases of skeletal muscle extracts, we were not able to detect clear signals for commonly used loading control markers such as β-actin upon reprobing the blots. Therefore, Ponceau S staining of the blots was performed to ensure relatively equal loading of proteins in each lanes. Because phosphorylated proteins are sometimes not equally recognized by antibodies that detect total proteins, we did not use total protein corresponding to phosphoprotein for normalization of phosphoproteins. Therefore, quantitative levels of phosphoprotein and total proteins of protein-of-interest are presented separately.

Membrane fragments were isolated following centrifugation at 21,130 x g for 10 minutes at 4 °C. Membrane pellets were then homogenized in solubilization buffer (50 mM NaCl, 50 mM NaH2PO4, 2 mM EDTA, 2 mM EGTA, 2% Triton X-100, pH 7.4) with 40 strokes of a Potter-Elvehjem glass homogenizer or disposable polypropylene pestles and incubated for three hours at 4 °C with agitation to solubilize membrane-bound proteins. Following a second centrifugation at 21,130 x g for 10 minutes at 4 °C, the solubilized membrane fraction was recovered in the supernatant.
All buffers used to isolate the solubilized membrane fraction were supplemented with protease/phosphatase inhibitors (Cell Signaling Technology, cat. no. 5872). Protein content of solubilized membrane fractions was determined using a BCA assay (Thermo Scientific, cat. no. 23225).

A549 cells were seeded in 10 cm discs at a density of 5 × 106 cells per disc and incubated for 24 h; then, cells were incubated with different concentrations (15, 22, and 35 μM) of 20(S)-Rh2 for another 24 h. Cell samples were washed with the ice-cold PBS and lysed with RIPA buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) containing protease/phosphatase inhibitors (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). Cell protein lysates were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and then transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Millipore, USA). After being blocked with 5% skim milk or BSA dissolved in TBST buffer, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. Then, goat anti-rat IgG secondary antibody was added. Following the washing step of the TBST buffer, an ECL immunoblotting detection kit (Clinx Science Instrument Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) was used to detect the visualization. Antibody against GAPDH was used as an internal control.

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.
