Proteins were extracted from frozen human synovial tissue or cultured SW982 cells into cold RIPA buffer containing protein hydrolase inhibitor and phosphatase inhibitor. Protein samples were taken after centrifugation, then separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes (Thermo Fisher Scientific). After sealing with 5% skim milk for 2 h, primary antibody was incubated overnight. The membranes were then washed three times with TBST, followed by co-incubation with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-coupled secondary antibody for 2 h. Finally, the membranes were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence, with GAPDH as a control. The grayscale values of the bands were analyzed by ImageJ software and statistical analysis was carried out. Primary antibodies were incubated as follows: GAPDH (1:10,000, Abcam, USA), LOXL1 (1:1000, Bosterbio, China), INOS (1:1000, Bosterbio, China), COX2 (1:1000, Proteintech, China), IL-6 (1:1000, Affinity, China), AKT (1:1000, OriGene, China), p-AKT (1:1000, OriGene, China), PI3K (1:1000, CST, USA), p-PI3K (1:1000, CST, 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.
