The cells were lysed with radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer at 4°C, and then separated by high speed centrifugation (14,000 rpm) at 4°C for 10 min. Next, the supernatant was quantified using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Shanghai Biotech Biotechnology Research Institute). The protein sample was then loaded onto 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at 70 V for 30 min then 120 V for 90 min and transferred to a
nitrocellulose membrane (Millipore, Boston, MA, USA) at 300 mA for 2 h. After blocking with 5% skim milk, the blot was probed with a primary antibody. After washing with phosphate buffered saline, the horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G secondary antibodies (
ab150077, 1:1,000, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) were added. The primary antibodies used in this study include rabbit anti-MAP2K3 antibody (ab195037, 1:500, Abcam), rabbit anti-AP-1 antibody (
ab21981, 1:200, Abcam), and rabbit anti-p38 antibody (
ab31828, 1:300, Abcam). We then uniformly add the chemiluminescence reagent to the membrane and develop with the developer. The expression level of the protein was analyzed by chemiluminescence and quantified by Image J software (Version 1. 46; National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). We used GAPDH as an endogenous control to normalize protein expression.
