Experimental Methods

WB
Experimental Protocol: Sample preparation 1. Tissue: Lyse the tissue sample by adding an appropriate volume of ice-cold RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail)，and homogenize the tissue at a low temperature. 2. Adherent cell: Aspirate the culture medium and wash the cells with ice-cold PBS twice. Lyse the cells by adding an appropriate volume of RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail) and put the sample on ice for 5 min. 3. Suspension cell: Transfer the culture medium to a pre-cooled centrifuge tube. Centrifuge and aspirate the supernatant. Wash the cells with ice-cold PBS twice. Lyse the cells by adding an appropriate volume of RIPA/NP-40 Lysis Buffer (containing Protease Inhibitor Cocktail) and put the sample on ice for 5 min. 4. Place the lysate into a pre-cooled microcentrifuge tube. Centrifuge at 4°C for 15 min. Collect the supernatant; 5. Remove a small volume of lysate to determine the protein concentration; 6. Combine the lysate with protein loading buffer. Boil 20 µL sample under 95-100°C for 5 min. Centrifuge for 5 min after cool down on ice. Reference Table for Selecting SDS-PAGE Separation Gel Concentrations 2. Power up 80V for 30 minutes. Then the power supply is adjusted (110 V~150 V), the Marker is observed, and the electrophoresis can be stopped when the indicator band of the predyed protein Marker where the protein is located is properly separated. (Note that the current should not be too large when electrophoresis, too large current (more than 150 mA) will cause the temperature to rise, affecting the result of running glue. If high currents cannot be avoided, an ice bath can be used to cool the bath.) Transfer membrane 1. Take out the converter, soak the clip and consumables in the pre-cooled converter; 2. Activate PVDF membrane with methanol for 1 min and rinse with transfer buffer; 3. Install it in the order of "black edge of clip - sponge - filter paper - filter paper - glue -PVDF membrane - filter paper - filter paper - sponge - white edge of clip"; 4. The protein was electrotransferred to PVDF membrane. ( 0.45 µm PVDF membrane is recommended ) Reference Table for Selecting PVDF Membrane Pore Size Specifications Recommended conditions for wet transfer: 200 mA, 120 min. ( Note that the transfer conditions can be adjusted according to the protein size. For high-molecular-weight proteins, a higher current and longer transfer time are recommended. However, ensure that the transfer tank remains at a low temperature to prevent gel melting.) Block 1. After electrotransfer, wash the film with TBST at room temperature for 5 minutes; 2. Incubate the film in the blocking solution for 1 hour at room temperature; 3. Wash the film with TBST for 3 times, 5 minutes each time. Antibody incubation 1. Use 5% skim milk powder to prepare the primary antibody working liquid (recommended dilution ratio for primary antibody 1:1000), gently shake and incubate with the film at 4°C overnight; 2. Wash the film with TBST 3 times, 5 minutes each time; 3. Add the secondary antibody to the blocking solution and incubate with the film gently at room temperature for 1 hour; 4. After incubation, wash the film with TBST 3 times for 5 minutes each time. Antibody staining 1. Add the prepared ECL luminescent substrate (or select other color developing substrate according to the second antibody) and mix evenly; 2. Incubate with the film for 1 minute, remove excess substrate (keep the film moist), wrap with plastic film, and expose in the imaging system.

Background
IDH1, also known as isocitrate dehydrogenase 1, belongs to the family of isocitrate dehydrogenases that catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate. This NADP+-dependent enzyme, operates primarily in the cytoplasm and peroxisomes across tissues like liver and brain. It forms an asymmetric homodimer, where each subunit consists of a large domain (residues 1–103 and 286–414), a small domain (residues 104–136 and 186–285), and a clasp domain (residues 137–185) that links the subunits via intertwined beta-sheets. The active sites, formed at the interface of both subunits, bind NADP+ and isocitrate-metal ion complexes, typically with Mg²⁺ or Mn²⁺, enabling reversible conversion through conformational shifts from open to closed states. IDH1 plays a central role in cellular metabolism by generating NADPH, essential for redox balance, antioxidant defense, and biosynthetic reactions like lipid and glucose metabolism. In the citric acid cycle, it supports energy production by producing alpha-ketoglutarate, a key intermediate, while coordinating with mitochondrial IDH2 for overall metabolic flux. Beyond the TCA cycle, IDH1 contributes to beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in liver peroxisomes and regulates glucose-induced insulin secretion. It also links to the pentose phosphate pathway by supplying NADPH for nucleotide synthesis and detoxification. In disease, recurrent mutations like R132H dominate in gliomas, acute myeloid leukemia, and cartilaginous tumors, conferring neomorphic activity that produces oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate from alpha-ketoglutarate. This disrupts alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, causing DNA hypermethylation, impaired differentiation, and heightened oxidative stress that promotes tumorigenesis. Mutated IDH1 thus alters epigenetic landscapes and cellular signaling, driving oncogenesis in these cancers.
