Cells were lysed for 10 min with ice-cold lysis kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, China) supplemented with a protease inhibitor mixture (Sigma). An 8-min centrifugation was performed at 12,000 × g to collect the supernatant whose protein concentration was measured using a BCA Protein Assay kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology). A total of 30 µg of proteins from each sample were separated by 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (EMD Millipore, USA). The membranes were then blocked with 5% (w/v) non-fat milk (CWbio, China) in PBST for 2 h at RT. Next, the blots were incubated with rabbit polyclonal antibodies against human STC (1 : 500 in PBST; Abcam), Bcl-2 (1 : 600; Sangon Biotech), Bax (1 : 600; Sangon Biotech), caspase-3 (1 : 600; ABclonal Biotechnology, China), and GAPDH (1 : 5,000; Abcam) at RT for 2 h.

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.
