SKLMS1 and STS39 cells were seeded in six well plates at a density of 250,000 c/well and 500,000 c/well respectively. Cells were treated with BKM120 or BEZ235 (5–1000 nM) for 72 h prior to harvest. Following a cold PBS (Sigma) rinse, cells were lysed for 20 min on ice with RIPA buffer (50 mM pH 7.4 Tris–HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 1 % NP-40, 1 mM EDTA) supplemented with phosphatase and protease inhibitors (Sigma). Protein concentration was measured with DC Protein concentration assay (BioRad). Electrophoresis was performed using MiniProtean TGX gels (Bio-Rad) and transferred to PVDF by wet transfer. Immunoblots were performed with the following antibodies: p-AKTS473, total AKT, p-S6KT389, total S6K, p-4EBP1T37/46, total 4EBP1, PARP-1, all from Cell Signaling Technology (Denver, US), and tubulin [clone DM1A] (Sigma, St. Louis, USA).

Total protein lysates were extracted from frozen hearts as described previously [21 (link)]. Isolated cardiomyocytes were isolated and lysates prepared for western blot as previously described by us [22 (link)]. Protein extracts were resolved by SDS-PAGE and electro-transferred onto PVDF membranes (Millipore Corp., Billerica, MA). The following antibodies were used: phospho-Akt-Ser 473, phospho-Akt-Thr 308, total Akt, phospho-p70 S6K and total S6K (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA). To control for loading, mouse anti-GAPDH and anti-actin antibodies (Sigma, Saint Louis, MO) were used. Alexa fluor anti-Rabbit 680 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and Mouse 800 (VWR International, West Chester, PA) were used as secondary antibodies and fluorescence was quantified using the LI-COR Odyssey imager (Lincoln, NE).

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.
