To examine the expression of the proteins in both cell lines, SKOV3-CDDP and SKOV3 cells were seeded at 2 × 105 cells per well in 6-well plates and cultured overnight. The two cell lines were treated with PBS, miR497, miR497-HENPs, TP, TP-HENPs and miR497/TP-HENPs for 48 h. Then, 150 µl RIPA buffer (Sigma–Aldrich) was added and lysed on ice for 5 min. The lysate was collected and centrifuged at 12,000 g for 15 min at 4 °C. The protein content in the supernatant was quantified by a BCA protein assay kit. Protein samples were separated by SDS–PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes, and the membranes were blocked with 5% blocking buffer for 1 h and then incubated overnight at 4 °C with the following primary antibodies: anti-calnexin, anti-TSG101, anti-CD9, anti-CD47, anti-GAPDH, anti-PI3K, anti-p-PI3K and anti-mTOR (purchased from Abcam) and anti-p-mTOR, anti-AKT, anti-p-AKT and HIF-α (obtained from CST). The membranes were washed three times, and then at room temperature, the secondary antibody was incubated for 1 h. All strips were visualized using a Bio–Rad Imaging System (Bio–Rad, USA).

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.
