We seeded EC‐1 cells in 24‐well culture dishes and treated with TGF‐β1 as mentioned above. After the treatment, the medium was discarded, and the EC‐1 cells were washed three times with PBS. Cells were stereotyped in PBS with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 minutes and permeabilized in 0.5% Triton X‐100/PBS for 5 minutes at 23‐28°C. We blocked the cells with 2% bovine serum albumin in PBS for 30 minutes and then incubate the cells with anti‐E‐cadherin (1:100; Proteintech) and anti‐vimentin (1:100; Boster, Wuhan, China) antibodies at 37°C for 2 h. Finally, after washing with PBS, the cells were stained with a combination of the secondary antibodies conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate and tetramethyllrhodamine for 1 hour. Nuclei were labeled with 4',6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole and observed with the microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) at a multiple of ×200.

Cells were harvested and lysed in radio immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (Solarbio, China) supplemented with phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) (a serine protease inhibitor, Solarbio, China) for 30 min. BCA kit (Solarbio, China) was used to determine the concentration of protein in the supernatant. Proteins were separated on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to a PVDF membrane (Merck Millipore, USA), and then incubated overnight with primary antibody (4 °C) after being blocked for 2 h in nonfat milk solution (5%). The membrane was reacted with TBST-diluted HRP-conjugated secondary antibody for 2 h at room temperature. Protein bands were detected by Amersham Imager 600 System (General Electric Company, USA) using ECL Substrate (Beyotime Biotech, China), and quantified with Image J software. The primary antibodies contain anti-GAPDH (BBI, China), anti-GLUD1 (BBI, China), anti-E-cadherin (1:1000, Abcam, USA), anti-Vimentin (1:1000, Boster, China), anti-Cytochrome C (ProteinTech, USA), anti-BCL2 (ProteinTech, USA), anti-BAX (Wanleibio, China), anti-Caspase 3 (Wanleibio, China), anti-JNK (Wanleibio, China), anti-phospho-JNK (Wanleibio, China), anti-p53 (Cell Signaling Technology, USA), anti-p38 (Cell Signaling Technology, USA) and anti-phospho-p38 (Cell Signaling Technology, USA).

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.
