Samples were denatured in buffer containing 60 mM Tris/pH 6.8, 25% glycerol, 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and 14.4 mM 2-mercaptoethanol with 0.1% bromophenol blue, and boiled for 5 minutes. SDS polyacrylamide gels (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) were loaded with 25 µg of total protein per lane. Prestained molecular weight markers (Bio-Rad) were used as standards. Electrophoresed samples were transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ, USA). After transfer, membranes were blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin in Tris-phosphate-buffered saline (TPBS; 200 mM Tris/pH 7.0, 1.37 M NaCl, 1% Tween-20) for 1 hour at room temperature. Membranes were then incubated with anti-RET, anti-phospho-RET, anti-EGFR, anti-phospho-EGFR, anti-AKT, anti-phospho-AKT, anti-ERK, anti-phospho-ERK, or anti-beta actin (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) overnight at 4℃, washed as before, and incubated with goat anti-rabbit peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (1:4000; Cell Signaling Technology) for 2 hours at room temperature. Membranes were then washed, and expressed proteins were detected with Pierce ECL plus western blotting substrate (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). Experiments were conducted at least three times independently.

Detecting RET Dimer Formation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein extracts were prepared with lysis buffer containing 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 5 mM EDTA, 250 mM NaCl, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 0.5% Nonidet P40, 1 mM Na3VO4, 1 mM NaF supplemented with 10 μg of aprotinin/ml, 10 μg of leupeptin/ml, 1 mM PMSF and a mix of protease inhibitors (SIGMAFAST protease inhibitor Tablets for general Use; Sigma-Aldrich St. Louis, MO, USA). Lysates were centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 30 min at 4 °C and the supernatants were collected. Protein concentration was estimated with a modified Bradford assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Berkeley, CA, USA). Western blot analysis was carried out by standard methods.
To detect RET dimers, electrophoresis was carried out on a 6% SDS–PAGE in non-reducing conditions. In this case proteins extracts were prepared in the same lysis buffer as above devoid of dithiothreitol, and with sample loading buffer devoid of 2-mercaptoethanol. Samples were not heated upon loading.
Proteins were revealed by enhanced chemiluminescence detection using Clarity™ Western ECL Substrate (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Berkeley, CA, USA). The antibodies used in this study were: anti-RET (E1N8X, #14556), anti-phospho-RET, (#3221), anti-phospho-ERK1/2 (#9101), anti-ERK1/2 (#9107) purchased from Cell Signaling Technology, Danver, MA, USA. The anti-phospho-RET Y1062 used in this study has been previously described [27 (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.
