Bronchial tissue samples were lysed in 1 mL of cell extraction buffer. Lysates were incubated in radio-immunoprecipitation assay buffer and kept at 4°C, for 2 h, followed by centrifugation at 12,000×g for 30 min at 4°C, and the supernatants collected. Total proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis on 8% gels, transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membranes, and blocked in TBST (plus 5% skim milk powder, pH 7.4, tris-buffered saline [TBS] with 0.24% Tween-20). Membranes were then incubated overnight at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: p-PI3K (Abcam, ab86714, 1:1,000), p-PKB (Abcam, ab81283, 1:5,000), p-PCNA (Abcam, ab92552, 1:3,000), p-AR (Abcam, ab3442, 1:1,000), and β-actin (Abcam, ab8226, 1:2,000). Blots were washed three-times for 15 min in TBST and treated with an horseradish peroxidase-conjugated polyclonal goat anti-rabbit antibody (Beyotime, A0208, 1:1,000) for 2 h at room temperature. Membranes were washed three-times for 10 min, and HRP substrate used to detect the HRP-secondary antibody bound to the proteins of interest, based on the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
