Scientific, Waltham, MA USA) containing double concentration of Halt™
protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA USA).
For Western blot, cells were seeded on 6-well plates at density of 30,000 cells
per well in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 1% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 25
mg/L Insulin and 100 mg/L penicillin/streptomycin. Next day, the cells were
treated with indicated drugs for 24 hours and lysed with RIPA lysis buffer
(Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) containing Halt™ protease
and phosphatase inhibitors (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA USA). Protein
concentrations were measured using BSA assay. Western blot membranes were
scanned using Odyssey infrared imaging reagents including blocking buffer and
secondary antibodies (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE, USA).
