The clinical tissues were homogenized with tissue homogenization treatment and centrifuged at 12000 g/min at 4°C for purification of protein. The cells were lysed with RIPA lysis buffer containing the
protease inhibitor cocktail (Yeasen, Shanghai, China) on ice for 30 min. The lysis was centrifuged at 4°C for 15 min, and the supernatant was collected and subjected to BCA assay for protein concentration evaluation. A total of 30
μg protein was subjected to SDS-PAGE and transferred to the PVDF membrane. The membrane was incubated with primary antibody overnight and subjected to the second antibody at room temperature for 1 h. The antibodies are as follows: anti-ROR
γ (Abcam, Cambridge, USA, ab78007),
anti-GAPDH (Proteintech, USA, 60004-1-Ig),
anti-Myc (Santa Cruz, CA, USA, 9E10),
anti-HBx (Abcam, Cambridge, USA, ab203540), and anti-
β-actin (Proteintech, USA, 23660-1-AP). The enhanced chemiluminescence (
ECL) system (Yeasen, Shanghai, China) was used to visualize the protein band. The
Quantity One software (Bio-Rad, CA, USA) was used to quantify protein expression.
