Western blot was performed as described previously25 (link). In brief, cells were lysed and cell debris was removed by centrifugation at top speed for 5 min at 4 °C. Proteins were resolved by 12% or 15% SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. The membranes were blocked and sequentially incubated with corresponding primary and secondary antibodies with washing steps in between. Immunoblots were visualized by chemiluminescence using WesternBright ECL (Advansta). Unprocessed versions of original immunoblots can be found in Supplementary Figs. S6, S7, and S8. Several blots were cut prior to antibody hybridization for the simultaneous detection of different target proteins in the same sample.

Gel electrophoresis was in Nu-Page 4-12% gradient Bis-Tris NuPage gels (Life Technologies) followed by transfer to nitrocellulose. Mouse pan-specific antibody 9A7 (gift of Dr. Maureen McEnery, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH) was employed to detect the total amount of alpha subunit isoforms. Monoclonal antibodies 6F (Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank) or M17-P5-F11 (gift of Dr. W. James Ball, University of Cincinnati) were used to detect human α1 and β2 subunits of Na,K-ATPase, respectively. α3 subunit of Na,K-ATPase was detected with the goat peptide-directed antibody C16 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Actin-HRP antibody was from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. Secondary antibodies were HRP-conjugated, and final detection was with chemiluminescence (WesternBright ECL, Advansta, CA). An LAS 4000 imager (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) with ImageQuant software was used for the analysis of Western blots. All analyses were performed with a minimum of 3 biological replicates, and actin was used as a loading control for all samples for quantification. When protein induction is large compared to the basal level, the accuracy of blot quantification is limited by the accuracy of background subtraction: three different ImageQuant automatic background subtraction methods were employed, and the results averaged for a best-estimate of expression differences.

The whole-cell extracts were prepared in lysis buffer with a protease inhibitor cocktail (Bimake), while the xenograft tissue extracts were prepared in 0.5% Nonidet P 40 Substitute solution (Biosharp) with cocktail protease inhibitor (Bimake).

The membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk in PBST at room temperature for 2 hours and incubated with primary antibodies at 4° C overnight. After the membranes were washed with PBST three times, they were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 hour. Chemiluminescent detection was performed with WesternBright ECL (Advansta). The immunoblots were visualized using the FluorChem FC3 system (ProteinSimple).

Cells were lysed using RIPA buffer containing 0.1% SDS, homogenized by passing lysate through a 20-gauge needle, placed on ice for 45 minutes, and centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 15 minutes at 4 °C. Protein concentrations of the supernatant were determined using a BCA Assay (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL USA) according to manufacturer recommendations. 30 μg of protein/sample were separated by gel electrophoresis in a 4–12% Bis-Tris Gel (Life Technologies, CA) and transferred to Immobilon membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA). Membranes were blocked with a solution of 2.5% albumin and 2.5% non-fat milk in TBST (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA) and subsequently incubated with rabbit anti-collagen I antibody (1:2500) (Abcam, Cambridge, MA) overnight, followed by a 1-hour incubation with donkey anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:5000) (Abcam).
