An appropriate amount of RIPA lysate was used to lysate cells or tissues and extract proteins. Protein concentration was measured with BCA kit (Abcam, ab102536). Protein samples and protein markers were loaded in 10% separation gel and then transferred to 0.45-μm PVDF membranes (Millipore, 42029053) activated with methanol. Then membrane was blocked in 5% non-fat milk for 2 h and incubated with primary antibody at 4 °C overnight. Then placed into the corresponding secondary antibody (ab288151, ab6728, Abcam, USA,1:5000) box and incubated with a shaker at room temperature for 2 h. Finally, the ECL working solution (Thermo Scientific™, USA) was prepared according to 1:1, and the membrane was exposed in the chemiluminescence instrument, the results were analyzed by Image J. The involved primary antibodies were as follow and concentration was diluted according to product instructions: TPPP3 (NBP2-13469, NBP2-95209, Novus Biologicals), and N-cadherin (ab76011, Abcam), E-cadherin (ab40772, Abcam), Vimentin (ab8978, Abcam), Snail1 (13099-1-AP, Proteintech), Slug (ab302780, Abcam), Twist1 (ab175430, Abcam), ZEB1 (ab203829, Abcam), β-catenin(ab203829, Abcam).

Immunochemistry staining procedures were performed as described previously.20 (link),21 Briefly, expression levels of E-cadherin (1:500; ab40772, Abcam plc, USA), cytokeratin 19 (1:400), vimentin (1:100; AF7013, Affinity Biosciences, USA), ZEB1 (1:100; ab203829, Abcam plc, USA), and HSPB1 (1:100; ab203829, Abcam plc, USA) were determined using specific, commercially available antibodies. Control sections (incubated without the primary antibody) showed little to no immunostaining. Five digital images were collected from random areas of IHC slides using an optical microscope (BX51, Olympus, Japan) and ISCapture software (Tucsen, China). Immunostaining intensity was then quantified using Image Pro Plus v. 6.0 software (Media Cybernetics, USA).

MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with shRNA-BRCC3 or the negative control and were grouped into HA-ubiquitin (Ub), Flag-ZEB1+HA-Ub, Flag-ZEB1+shRNA+HA-Ub, or Flag-ZEB1+shRNA-BRCC3+HA-Ub groups. BT-549 cells were transfected with wild-type (WT) BRCC3 or mutant (Mut) BRCC3 and grouped into the following groups: Flag-ZEB1+HA-Ub, Flag-ZEB1+WT-BRCC3+HA-Ub, and Flag-ZEB1+Mut-BRCC3+HA-Ub. After MG132 (20 μM) was added, the cells were collected after 8 h and centrifuged at 4°C and 1600
g for 5 min. The supernatant was discarded, and the mixture was placed on ice. The cells were resuspended by adding 400 μL of HEPES buffer (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, USA), lysed by ultrasonication, and centrifuged at 4°C and 3000
g for 10 min. Then, 40 μL of supernatant was mixed with 2×loading buffer, and the expression of intracellular proteins was detected by western blot analysis using anti-ZEB1 antibody (ab203829, 1:500; Abcam). The remaining 360 μL of supernatant was added to 2 μL of anti-Flag antibody and incubated at 4°C for 4‒6 h. Then, 40–60 μL of protein A/G agarose was added and incubated at 4°C for 8–10 h. After centrifugation at 4°C and 1600
g for 3 min, supernatant was discarded, and the beads were mixed with 2× loading buffer and subject to western blot analysis using anti-ZEB1 antibody (ab203829, 1:500; Abcam).

Antibody-bond protein bands were assayed using a chemiluminescent luminol enhancer solution (Cyanagen, Bologna, Italy) and detected by a C-DiGit Blot Scanner (LI-COR Bioscience, Lincoln, NE, USA). Full-length Western blot images are shown in the supplement.

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.
