For control reactions that lacked a certain component, the mixture was supplemented accordingly with 1X PBS. Reactions were performed at 30 ºC with shaking for 30 min and stopped by addition of 6X Laemmli Buffer and incubation at 95 ºC for 5 min. Samples were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot.

Immunohistochemistry was performed as previously described (22 (link), 23 (link)). For analysis of AR protein, concentrations of lysates of homogenized LNCaP95 and PC3 xenografts were measured by bicinchoninic acid assay after albumin depletion. Proteins (20 μg) were resolved on a NuPAGE 4%–15% Bis Tris gradient gel, transferred to nitrocellulose membrane, and probed for AR species using antibodies to the AR NTD and AR-V7. LNCaP95 cells (250,000 cells/well) were seeded in a 6-well plate for 48 hours and serum-starved for 24 hours, followed by treatment with DMSO, enzalutamide (5 μM), EPI-002 (25 μM), or I-EPI-002 (5 μM) for 48 hours. Cells were harvested, and whole-cell lysate (10 to 15 μg) was subjected to SDS-PAGE. Antibodies used were as follows: AR N-20 (sc-816, Santa Cruz Biotech Inc.); AR-V7 (AG10008, Precision Antibody); UBE2C (A-650, BostonBiochem); and cyclinD1, cyclinD3, p27kip1, CDK2, CDK4, and CDK6 from the Cell Cycle Regulation Sampler Kit (9932 from Cell Signaling Technology). β-Actin (ab6276, Abcam) was used as a loading control.

Cells were seeded at a density of 2 ×
105 in 6-well plates, allowed to adhere overnight, before
incubation with DMSO, 10 mM BCH, 50 μM ESK242, or 50 μM
ESK246 for 6 h or 3 d. Cells were lysed by the addition of lysis buffer
(200 μL) with protease inhibitor Cocktail III (Bioprocessing
Biochemical) and 1 mM Na3VO4 (Sigma). Equal
protein (micro-BCA method; Pierce, IL) was loaded on 4–12%
gradient gels (Life Technologies), electrophoresed, and transferred
to PVDF membrane. The membrane was blocked with 2.5% (w/v) BSA in
PBS-Tween20, and incubated with the primary and secondary antibodies.
The secondary HRP-labeled antibodies were detected using enhanced
chemiluminescence reagents (Pierce) on a Kodak Imager (Kodak). Antibodies
used in this study were against LAT1 (Cosmo Bio), LAT3 (a kind gift
from Kunimasa Yan, Kyorin University, Tokyo, Japan), α-tubulin
(Santa Cruz), p-p70S6K, p70S6K, (Cell Signaling), UBE2C (Boston Biochem),
CDK1 and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; Abcam).
Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated donkey antimouse IgG, donkey antirabbit
IgG, and goat antimouse IgM were used as secondary antibodies (Millipore).

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.
