Western Blot Analysis of Autophagy Markers

2025
The radioimmunoprecipitation (RIPA) (Beyotime Biotechnology, China) lysate was prepared by lysing tissue/cells on ice for 30 min, followed by sonication to extract the total proteins. Equivalent amounts of proteins were isolated by SDS-PAGE, followed by transfer onto nitrocellulose membranes and examination using primary antibodies. The membranes were treated with antibodies against Beclin-1, LC3II/I, BAX, BCL-2, and GAPDH (Cell Signal Technology, United States of America) and detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence reagent.

Quantification of Autophagy Signaling Proteins

2024
Following the required manipulation of each experiment, tumor cells at a confluency of 70–80% were lysed using RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-Cl pH 7.4, 1% NP-40, 150 mM NaCl, and 1 mM EDTA (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA)) supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (1 mM PMSF, 1 mM EGTA, 10 mM NaF, and 1 mM Na3VO4 (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA)), homogenized, and incubated for 15 min on ice. Protein extracts were obtained by centrifuging at 13,000 rpm, 4 °C, for 15 min. The concentration of protein samples was quantified using the Pierce™ BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). Protein samples (30 μg) were separated via SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. After blocking non-specific antibody binding sites with 5% dry fat-free milk, the membrane was incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies against Hsp70 (clone 2B11), ATG5 (Cell signaling, Danvers, MA, USA #2630), LC3 I/II (Cell signaling #4108), p62 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, #ab155686 or Servicebio, Wuhan, China, #GB11239-1-100), ULK1 total (Cell signaling #8054), p-ULK1 Ser555 (Cell signaling #5869), p-ULK1 Ser757 (Cell signaling #6888), p-AMPK (Abcam # ab133448), p-mTOR (Cell signaling #2971), β-Actin (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA, #MA1-744), and β-tubulin (Invitrogen, #32-2600).

In vivo Protein Analysis after SCI

For in vivo protein analysis, a spinal cord segment at the lesion epicentre was dissected at 7 and 14 days and immediately stored at −80°C. Proteins from animal tissue or PC12 cells were first quantified by the BCA reagent method. We separated the proteins on 8% (w/v) or 12% (w/v) gels and transferred the proteins onto polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Bio‐Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Membranes were blocked with 5% (w/v) milk (Bio‐Rad) in TBS with 0.05% Tween 20 (TBST) for 2 hours at room temperature and then were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies of FGF1 (1:1000; Abcam), ace‐tubulin (1:2000; Cell Signaling Technology), Tau (1:1000; Abcam), GAP43 (1:1000; Abcam), MBP (1:1000; Abcam), p‐mTOR (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), mTOR (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), ATG7 (1:1000; Bio‐world), Beclin1 (1:1000; Abcam), LC‐3 I/II (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), PRDX1 (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology) and GAPDH (1:10000; Bio‐world). Next, the membranes were washed with TBST 3 times and treated with horseradish peroxidase‐conjugated secondary antibodies for 60 minutes. All signals were detected by ChemiDocXRS + Imaging System (Bio‐Rad). All experiments were repeated 3 times for accuracy.

Protein Interactions and Signaling Pathways

Total cell lysates and cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts were isolated from the cells for Western blot assays, as described previously. [3] (link) Proteins were separated using 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes, which were probed with primary antibodies against Drp1, Mfn2, Pink1, Nrf2, Parkin, TOM20 and VDAC (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), LC3I/II, cleaved caspase-3 (Cell Signaling Technology, USA), p62 (Abcam, USA) and Keap1 (Proteintech, USA) and developed using an ECL system (Amersham Biosciences, USA). β-Actin (Santa Cruz) and histone 3 (Novus Biologicals, USA) were used as internal controls.
Each sample was adjusted to 1 mg/ml and divided into two equal aliquots containing 100 μg of protein to observe the interaction between Keap1 and Nrf2 via IP, as described previously. [7] (link) The samples were incubated with an anti-Nrf2 or anti-Keap1 antibody in an IP buffer for 12 h at 4 °C. Protein A-sepharose beads (50 μl) were added to the samples, which were incubated for another 12 h. The samples were then washed and resuspended, and Western blotting was performed as described previously. [7] (link).

Quantitative Analysis of Kidney Fibrosis

Kidney tissues from the rats were frozen in OCT compound (Sakura Finetek, Tokyo, Japan) and sectioned at a thickness of 4 μm. The cryostat sections were fixed in acetone for 20 minutes at room temperature. Before and after incubating the tissue sections with 0.3% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes, they were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) 3 times. Thereafter, tissue sections were blocked with a blocking solution containing 1% bovine serum albumin. Slides were incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies against collagen I, fibronectin (Abcam, New Territories, HK) and LC3 I/II (Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA). After washing with PBS 3 times, secondary horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-rabbit immunoglobulins (Abcam, New Territories, HK) were applied to the slides for 1 hour in the dark at room temperature. After washing with PBS 3 times, the slides were incubated with 3, 3′-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) for 5–10 minutes. Using light microscopy, changes in kidneys and the positively stained areas were observed. These positive areas were visualized at a magnification of 200× and the percentages of the positive areas in whole renal areas were calculated in randomly selected 5 nonoverlapping fields with Image-Pro Plus 5.0 software (Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, MD).

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.
