Hep3b cells were washed in PBS and lysed using the protein extraction reagent RIPA (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). The concentration of proteins was measured by BCA kit (cat. no. ab102536; Abcam). Equivalent amounts of proteins (30 µg) from each sample were electrophoresed on SDS-polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE) and transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane, blocked in 4% skim milk for 2 h at room temperature and incubated with the following specific primary antibodies: E-cadherin antibody (ab219332 1:1,000; Abcam), α-catenin antibody (ab51032 1:2,000; Abcam), N-cadherin (ab76011, 1:5000 dilution, Abcam), vimentin (ab92547 1:1,000; Abcam), p-PI3K (ab182651 1:1,000; Abcam), PI3K (ab227204 1:1,000; Abcam), p-AKT (ab38449, 1:500 dilution, Abcam), AKT (ab18785 1:1,000; Abcam), VEGF (ab214424 1:1,000; Abcam), VEGFR2 (ab221679 1:1,000; Abcam), Snail (ab53519 1:1,000; Abcam), Slug (ab27568 1:1,000; Abcam) and MPP9 (ab38898 1:1,000; Abcam) overnight at 4°C. β-actin (ab8277 1:1,000; Abcam) was used as internal reference. Then, the membranes were incubated in HRP-linked goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (ab97051; 1:10,000; Abcam) for 2 h at room temperature. Immunoreactivity was visualized by a colorimetric reaction using an ECL substrate buffer (EMD Millipore) and membranes were scanned with Gel Doz EZ imager (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.).

Samples were lysed in RIPA lysis buffer (Thermo Scientific) supplemented with Complete protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) and protein concentrations were measured using the detergent-compatible Protein Assay Kit (Bio-Rad). Samples were then mixed with Laemmli sample buffer, boiled at 95°C for 5 min, resolved by SDS–PAGE, and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Membranes were then blocked in 5% nonfat milk in 0.1% Tween-20 in Tris-buffered saline and incubated overnight at 4°C in blocking buffer containing antibodies specific for ILK (3862, 1:1000; Cell Signaling), E-cadherin (3195, 1:1000; Cell Signaling), vimentin (V5255, 1:1000; Cell Signaling), Snail (3895, 1:500; Cell Signaling), αSMA (A5228, 1:500; Sigma), FAK (3285S, 1:500; Cell Signaling), pY397-FAK (44625G, 1:500; Invitrogen), paxillin (ab32084, 1:1000; Abcam), pY118-paxillin (44722G, 1:1000; Invitrogen), α-catenin (ab51032, 1:3500; Abcam), β-catenin (ab32572, 1:3500; Abcam), or GAPDH (3683S, 1:1000; Cell Signaling).

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.
