Tissue samples were processed for western blots in a manner similar to Roa et al. (2014) and Roa and Tresguerres (2016). In brief, 20 μg of proteins were separated on 7.5% polyacrylamide mini gel (60 V 15 min, 200 V 45 min) and transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (Bio‐Rad). After transfer, PVDF membranes were incubated in blocking buffer (tris‐buffered saline, 1% tween, 5% skim milk) at room temperature (RT) for 1 h and incubated in the primary antibody at 4°C overnight (anti‐dfsAC = 3 μg/mL; anti‐NKA = 1.5 μg/mL). PVDF membranes were washed 3× (10 min each) in tris‐buffered saline + 1% tween (TBS‐T), incubated in the appropriate anti‐rabbit or anti‐mouse secondary antibodies (1:10,000) at RT for 1 h, and washed 3× (10 min each) in TBS‐T. Bands were made visible through addition of ECL Prime Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI) and imaged and analyzed in a BioRad Universal III Hood using ImageQuant software (BioRad). PVDF membranes incubated in blocking buffer with anti‐dfsAC antibodies and 300‐fold excess blocking peptide served as control and did not show any bands.

MEFs were cultured with or without PMA in serum-starved condition overnight. Flnb+/+ and Flnb−/− tumor tissues were homogenized and immunoblotted as described earlier,10 (link) followed by incubation with primary antibody against FLNB (Chemicon International, Inc., Temecula, CA, USA), FLNA (EMD Millipore), Actin (Sigma Aldrich), phosphorylated ERK1/2, total ERK1/2, phosphorylated-PKC-α/β and phosphorylated-PKC-δ/θ (Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA, USA) and MMP-9 (Nordic BioSite, Taby, Sweden). Membranes were then incubated with an appropriate anti-mouse or anti-rabbit IgG-horseradish peroxide conjugated secondary antibody (Amersham Biosciences, Amersham, UK) and the proteins were visualized by using enhanced chemiluminescence (Amersham Biosciences). The densities of bands were quantified by ImageQuant software (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Actin was used as an internal loading control.

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.
