Cells were harvested by
Tyrisin (Invitrogen), then cytoplasmic and nucleus protein was extracted by
Cytoplasmic and Nucleus Protein Extraction Kit (Thermal Scientific, USA) according to its protocol, quantified by the BCA assay.
The standard detail experimental process of western blot as same as our previous study (PMID29331423 and PMID29800682). Western blot band was quantified through the Image-J software (NIH, USA).
Antibodies against GAPDH, FHL3,
E-cadherin, MMP2 and
GSK3β were purchased from Proteintech (1:1000, Hangzhou, China), antibodies against smad2/3, smad4, twist1, Ubiquitin, Histone 3, ser473-phospho-Akt, try216/279-phospho-
GSK3β, ser9-phospho-
GSK3β and ser423/425-phospho-smad2/3 were purchased from Huabio (1:1000, Hangzhou, China), antibodies against ZO-1, Akt, vimentin, snail1 and zeb1 were gained from Abcam (1:1000, China).
