Cells were lysed in buffer (62.5 mmol/L Tris‐HCl, 2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 0.5 mmol/L PMSF and 2 µg/mL aprotinin, pepstatin and leupeptin), and the protein lysates were subjected to SDS‐PAGE followed by electroblotting onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane. Membranes were probed with monoclonal antibodies against FHL2 (1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), p‐RAF1 (1:1000; Abcam), MEK1 (1:1000; Abcam), p‐MEK1 (1:1000; Abcam), ERK (1:1000; Abcam), p‐ERK (1:1000; Abcam), p38 (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), p‐p38 (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), Cyclin‐dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) (1:1000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), Cyclin‐dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) (1:1000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), cyclin E (1:1000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), AKT (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), p‐AKT (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), PI3K p110β (1:1000; Abcam), Rac1 (1:1000; Abcam) and β‐actin (1:5000). Protein expression was visualized using chemiluminescence detection reagents (Merck Millipore). The results were analysed using ImageJ software.

The total protein extraction kit (KeyGen BioTECH, Jiangsu, China) was used to isolate proteins from the above 10 patients. The protein lysates were separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulphate—polyacrylamide gels (SDS-PAGE) (Beyotime, Shanghai, China), and then transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Primarry antibodies against RAF1, phospho-RAF1 (p-RAF1) and GAPDH were purchased from Abcam (ab-137435, ab-60985, ab-181602; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and were diluted at 1:1000, 1:1000 and 1:3000. The secondary antibody goat anti-rabbit IgG (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was diluted at 1:5000. The Efficient chemiluminescence (ECL) kit (Thermo, Shanghai, China) was utilized to detect horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and its products.

Western blot was performed as previously described (27 (link)). Samples of equivalent total protein (40 μg) were loaded. Primary antibody against REST, p-Raf-1, p-beta-catenin, p-MEK-2, p-ERK-1/2 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:500), E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, MMP-9, ZO-1, MEK-2, ERK1/2, Raf-1, beta-catenin, beta-Actin, and Histone H3 (ProteinTech Group, Rosemont, USA, 1:500) were used. Suppression of MAPK signaling pathway with U0126 was performed as previously described (28 (link)). In brief, cells incubated in t25 culture flask with 60~70% confluency were treated with 10 μM U0126 for 36 h before further analysis.

The total protein derived from each group of cells and from the rabbit carotid artery tissues was extracted by a protein extraction kit (Beijing solarbio science﹠technology, China). The process was conducted according to the kit instructions. The BCA (Bi Yuntian, China) protein assay kit was used to determine the protein concentration. A total of 40 μg protein samples were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. The membranes were blocked at room temperature with skimmed milk powder for 2 h and subsequently incubated with p-Raf-1, p-MEK, p-ERK1/2, Raf-1, MEK and ERK1/2 antibodies (Abcam, UK) at 4°C overnight. Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with the corresponding secondary antibody IgG (1:2000) for 1 h at room temperature.

The protein concentration was measured by using the BCA kit (ThermoFisher Scientific, USA). The protein sample was added with 5 × Loading buffer, boiled in water for 10 min, and then carried out sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) protein electrophoresis. After the electrophoresis, the protein was transfected to the polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane, and blocked with 5% skim milk for 2 h at room temperature. The membranes were incubated with specific antibodies (Rabbit anti-Human, anti-GAPDH, Ras, p-Raf1, Raf1, p-MEK1, MEK1, p-ERK1/2, ERK1/2, 1:1000, Abcam) overnight at 4 °C. Then, membranes were incubated with the horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibody (Goat anti-Rabbit IgG, 1:1000, Sigma) at room temperature for 1 h. ECL reagent (Beyotime) was used to detect the protein signals.

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.
