How data was acquired |
Microscope (Nikon ECLIPSE 80i) Chemiluminescent detection (Boehringer Mannheim GmbH Lumi-Imager) |
Data format | Raw |
Experimental factors |
Liver sections were derived from WT and Lcn2-/-mice[2]after feeding a MCD or standard chow diet for 6 weeks. Protein extracts were prepared from the same livers for Western blot analysis. Hepatocytes were isolated from WT and Lcn2-/-mice for in vitro experimentation. |
Experimental features |
Liver sections from WT and Lcn2-/-mice were immunostained for PIP3. Negative and positive controls were also used. 100 µg of protein extracts from livers were used to detect PKB, phospho PKB, LCN2 and Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) by Western blot. Hepatocytes were cultured from WT and Lcn2-/-mice. These were left untreated or treated with bovine insulin to induce PI3K and PIP3. Respective cells were immunostained for PIP3. |
