Tanshinone IIA Regulates Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Colorectal Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human colorectal cancer cell line HCT-116 (ATCC, United States) was cultured in 1640 medium and LoVo (ATCC, United States) was cultured in F-12K medium, containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 mg/ml streptomycin at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. Rabbit monoclonal antibodies against human E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, β-arrestin1, GSK-3β, β-catenin, c-Myc, and CyclinD1 were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (United States). Rabbit monoclonal antibodies against human MMP2 and MMP9 were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (United States). Mouse monoclonal antibody against human GAPDH was purchased from Proteintech (China). Tanshinone IIA (S2365) with 99% purity (HPLC) was purchased from Selleck (Houston, TX, United States).

Western Blotting Methodology for Protein Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The proteins separated by SDS–PAGE were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane for western blotting using the procedure outlined previously [29 (link)]. The commercially obtained primary antibodies used in this study were against MK2 (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat. no. 3042), P38 (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat. no. 9212), phospho-P38 (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat. no. 9215), p44/42 ERK MAPK (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat. no. 4696), β-Arrestin1 (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat. no. 4674) and GST (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat. no. 2624). The antibodies to PDE4A5, PDE4B, PDE4C, PDE4D and phospho-PDE4A5 were raised by the Baillie Laboratory and have been described previously [18 (link),22 (link),29 (link)]. Arrestin and ERK were detected concomitantly during competition overlay experiments on peptide arrays using the Licor Odyssey Scanner as previously described [16 (link)].

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.
