To evaluate protein expression, whole-cell lysates were prepared, and western blotting was performed. Lysate aliquots containing 30-µg protein were separated by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis and transferred onto a Polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (BioRad). The membrane was blocked with 5% skimmed milk powder (Sigma) for 1 h at room temperature, washed with T-TBST and reacted with primary antibody [anti-DNMT1, anti-DNMT3A, anti-DNMT3B, anti-YAP1, anti-ERα and anti-ERβ, anti-actin (all antibodies from Abcam, Cambridge, UK)] at 1:1000 dilution overnight at 4 °C. The specific HRP-labeled secondary antibodies (Abcam) were then reacted at 1:4000 dilutions for 1 h at room temperature. Chemiluminescence was detected using Enhanced Chemiluminescence western blotting detection reagent (BioRad). Actin was used as loading control.

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.
