Harvested cells were lysed by RIPA buffer. After sonication, samples were centrifuged at 12 000 g for 15 min at 4°C. Total protein concentration was determined by applying DC Protein Assay Kit I (Bio‐Rad, USA). Proteins were transferred to Hybond nitrocellulose membranes (USA) after separation on 12% SDS‐PAGE. 5% skim milk was added to seal the membrane in Tris‐buffered saline (pH 7.5) at room temperature. The membrane was incubated with the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by 4‐h incubation with the secondary antibody at room temperature. Protein bands were developed by ECL kit (Millipore, USA). Protein levels were assessed by ImageJ (USA). Primary antibodies including anti‐CD133, anti‐CD44, anti‐Oct‐4, anti‐HK2, anti‐PKM2, anti‐LDHA, anti‐β‐actin, and secondary antibody anti‐IgG were purchased from Abcam (UK).16

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.
