Protein concentrations in lysates were quantified, and proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‒PAGE). After separation, proteins were transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. and incubated with a primary antibody followed by a secondary antibody. Luminescence was visualized with Enhanced Chemiluminescence Substrate (ECL) (Amersham Biosciences, Sweden). The results of western blotting were analyzed with NIH ImageJ 1.62 software. The following antibodies were used: anti-ACTG1 (actin gamma 1) and anti-ACTA2 (alpha-smooth muscle actin) from Sigma–Aldrich, anti-AZIN1 from Abbexa, and anti-ADAR1, anti-Myosin-9, anti-GAPDH, anti-α-Tubulin, anti-snail, anti-slug, anti-MMP2, anti-MMP9 and anti-Rpb1 CTD from Cell Signaling.

Resulting single cell suspensions were collected by centrifugation at 400g for 5 min. Intracellular stainings with anti-PMEL antibody HMB-45-FITC (Novus Biologicals #NBP2-34638F) and with anti-ACTA2 (Sigma-Aldrich #C6198) were performed using the PerFix-nc Kit (Beckman Coulter #B31167), for 30 min at 4 °C in supplemented PBS containing 2 mM EDTA and 2% FBS. Analysis was performed on LSRII (Becton Dickinson) equipped with three lasers. Data were collected using FacsDIVA software. Sorting gates were defined on the basis of fluorescence-minus-one control stains.

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.
