Cells were lysed using RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 5 M EDTA, 1% Triton-X, and 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)) supplemented with 10 mM NaF, 2 mM Na3VO4, and a complete Mini Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Roche Diagnostics). Protein content was measured using a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.). Proteins were resolved by SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA). Membranes were blocked in TBS-t containing 5% skimmed milk for 1 h at room temperature before incubating with the primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. The primary antibodies used and their working conditions are summarized in Table S1. Membranes were then incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse or anti-rabbit IgG antibody (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, England, UK; 1:10,000, TBSt-milk, room temperature) as the secondary antibody for 1 h. The membranes were developed using the ECL Prime Western Blotting Detection System (GE Healthcare) and luminescence was captured and quantified using an imaging system (ChemiDoc Image Lab, Bio-Rad Laboratories).

Pan02, BMF-A3, and CT1A-C11 cells
were cultured in DMEM (Corning) containing 10% fetal bovine serum
(FBS) and maintained at 37 °C in a humidified incubator with
5% CO2 and 95% air. For the collagen and 7f treatment, cells were cultured in 10 mL of complete media with 50
μg/mL collagen and indicated concentration of 7f for 8 or 18 h. Cells were lysed, supernatants were recovered by
centrifugation at 13 000 rpm, protein concentration was measured,
and equal amounts of total protein were separated by sodium dodecyl
sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Proteins were transferred
to poly(vinylidene difluoride) membranes (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) followed
by blockade for 1 h in 5% bovine serum albumin in TBS-T. Membranes
were incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibody phospho-DDR1

After blocking for 1 hour with Blocking One-P (catalog no. 05999-84, Nacalai Tesque), the membranes were then immunoblotted with the antibodies listed in Supplementary Table S2 at the indicated dilutions. The membranes were incubated with the primary antibody overnight at 4°C and with the secondary antibody for 1 hour at room temperature. Bands were visualized using ChemiDoc XRS+ Systems (Bio-Rad).

A rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against amino acids 110-335 of the human ADHFe1 (PA5-31416; Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to detect the Xenopus laevis protein. Protein lysates for Western blots were prepared by homogenizing embryos or HEK293 cells in ice-cold lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-Cl pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM EGTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 140 mM NaCl) supplemented with protease inhibitors (1 mM phenylmethyl sulfonyl fluoride, 1 mM pepstatin, and 10 mg/ml aprotinin). Homogenates were cleared by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) sample buffer was added to the cleared lysate and boiled for 4 min before separation by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Variability in cell densities was minimized by normalization to total protein concentration measured with the protein assay kit (Bio-Rad). Proteins were blotted to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Bio-Rad), and blots were blocked in 5% milk in TBS + 0.1% Tween and probed with anti-ADHFe1 antibody (1:10000) for 1 hr at room temperature and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:20000; A0545, Sigma) as a second antibody. Immunoreactive proteins were detected using a chemiluminescence kit (Biological Industries) according to the manufacturer's protocol.

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.
