For assessment of ERG and beta-actin protein levels, 3x106 VCaP cells were plated in 10 cm diameter dishes with charcoal-treated FBS containing media for 24 h before treatment with 0.1% DMSO vehicle with or without polyamide 1 for an additional 72 h. Ethanol (0.01%) in PBS with or without DHT (1 nM final concentration) was then added. After 24 h incubation, cells were lysed in TBS-Tx buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X100) containing fresh 1 mM phenylmethanesulfonylfluoride (PMSF) and protease inhibitors (Roche). The samples were quantified by Bradford assay, denatured by boiling in Laemmli buffer, and total protein was separated by SDS-PAGE. After transfer to the polyvinyl difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Bio-Rad) and blocking with Odyssey Blocking Buffer (LI-COR), primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4°C. Rabbit monoclonal anti-ERG antibody (Epitomics 2805–1) and rabbit polyclonal anti-actin antibody (Sigma A2066) were used. Goat anti-rabbit near-IR conjugated secondary antibody (LI-COR) was added and the bands were visualized on an Odyssey infrared imager (LI-COR). The experiment was conducted in duplicate and the data are representative of both trials.

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.
