Quantitative Western Blot Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were treated with CP and, after different times, were collected, centrifuged and washed with ice cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The pellet was then resuspended in lysis buffer as described [47 ]. The protein concentration in the supernatant was determined using the BCA protein assay (Pierce, Italy). Equal amounts of protein (10 μg) were resolved using SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis (Criterion precast Tris-HCl gel, BioRad, Italy) and transferred to PVDF Hybond-p membranes (GE Healthcare, Italy). Membranes were blocked with 2% ECL-Blocking Solution (GE Healthcare, Italy) for 2 hours at room temperature. Membranes were then incubated with primary antibodies against Bcl-2, PARP, procaspase-9, cleaved caspase-7, GRP78, (Cell Signaling, Italy), cleaved caspase-12 (Abcam, UK), β-actin (Sigma Aldrich, Italy), and cleaved caspase-3 (Novus Biologicals, Italy) overnight. Membranes were then incubated with peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, Italy) for 60 min. All membranes were visualized using ECL Select (GE Healthcare, Italy) and exposed to Hyperfilm MP (GE Healthcare, Italy). To ensure equal protein loading, each membrane was stripped and reprobed with anti-β-actin antibody.

The contusion epicenter of sciatic nerve tissue (2 cm) was lysed in RIPA buffer containing phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (the volume ratio is 100:1) for 30 min and clarified by centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 15 min. Then, the extracts were quantified with Carmassi Bradford reagents (Thermo, Rockford, IL, USA). 80 μg protein was separated using 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and electroblotted onto PVDF membranes (Millipore, USA). After blocking with 5% skim milk for 1.5 h, membranes were probed with primary antibody (GRP-78, ATF-6 and Cleaved-caspase 12, 1:1000, Abcam; XBP-1 and CHOP 1:300, Santa Cruz; GAPDH, 1:10000, Bioworld). Subsequently, blots were incubated for 1 h at room temperature with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:10000) [50 (link), 51 (link)]. Finally, the immunoreactive bands were scanned via optical density measurements using the ChemiDoc XRS+ Imaging System (Bio-Rad). Each sample was blotted 3 independent times, and the densitometric values of the bands were quantified with the Image Lab software (Bio-Rad).

The transfected cells were collected after 48 h, and RIPA cell lysate was added. Total cell proteins were extracted on ice, and then the protein concentration was detected by a BCA protein detection kit. The protein sample was heated and denaturized in a boiling water bath. The denaturized protein sample of the equal amount was added to the loading hole for SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis. After the protein was separated, it was transferred to the PVDF membrane for electrotransfer. The transformed membrane was blocked with 5% skimmed milk at room temperature for 1 h. The primary antibodies including cleaved-caspase-3, cleaved-caspase-9, cleaved-caspase-1, cleaved-caspase-12, GRP78, CHOP, IL-1β, N-GSDMD, TGFB1, and β-actin (1:1000, Abcam, Cambridge, Britain) were diluted and incubated overnight at 4°C, and then the secondary antibody (1:3000, Abcam, Cambridge, Britain) was diluted and incubated for 30 min at room temperature, and washed 3 times with TBST. Proteins were detected by the chemiluminescence method, and the relative protein expression of each group was calculated by the ImageJ analysis software (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., USA). Analysis on each protein sample was repeated 3 times [19 (link)].

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.
