The expression levels of GOLM1, E-cadherin, Vimentin, TGF-β1, Smad2, p-Smad2, and
GADPH were detected by Western blotting. First, equal amounts of proteins were
loaded onto 10% SDS-PAGE gels for separation and then transferred to
polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Bio-Rad). Second, the membranes were blocked
with 5% nonfat milk for 2 h and then were incubated with primary antibodies, and
placed on shaker, at 4 °C overnight. Indicated primary antibodies in this study
were polyclonal rabbit antibodies against GOLM1 (1:1000 dilution; Affinity),
E-cadherin (1:5000 dilution; Proteintech), Vimentin (1:1000 dilution;
Proteintech), TGF-β1 (1:1000 dilution; Abclonal), Smad2 (1:1000 diluton;
Affinity), p-Smad2 (1:1000) and GADPH (1:1000 dilution; Affinity). Third, the
membranes were incubated with HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibodies
(1:600 dilution; Beyotime Biotechnology) after washing with TBST buffer.
Finally, the protein levels were detected by using an enhanced chemiluminescence
system (ECL Kit, Pierce Biotechnology) and captured on light-sensitive Xrayfilm
(Carestream). The optical densities of bands were analyzed by ImageJ
software.

Equal amounts of protein were separated using sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE), electro-transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), and incubated at 4 °C overnight with antibodies against GPR34 (1:1500), phosphorylated (p)-TGF-β (1:1000), p-Smad2 (1:1500), p-Smad3 (1:2500), Smad2/3 (1:1000 (all from Affinity), CDK2 (1:2500), CDK6 (1:2200), cyclin E (1:1500), MMP-2 (1:1500), MMP-7 (1:1000), ROCK1 (1:3000), E-cadherin (1:1500), N-cadherin (1:1500), Snail (1:1500), vimentin (1:2000), and GAPDH (1:2500 [all from Proteintech, Wuhan, China]). Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse or anti-rabbit IgG (1:2500, Affinity) at 37 °C for 3 h. Protein bands were visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). GAPDH served as a loading control.

Total proteins were isolated, quantified, and separated by RIPA (P0013 E, Beyotime, China), BCA kit (PC0020, Solarbio, China), and SDS-PAGE, respectively. Following transfer to PVDF membranes, the proteins were obstructed with 5% non-fat milk, and the next step is to incubate with the primary antibodies: KRT80 (ab222325, Abcam, USA), E-cadherin (AF0131, Affinity Biosciences, China), N-cadherin (AF4039, Affinity Biosciences, China), Vimentin (BF8006, Affinity Biosciences, China), TGFBR1 (AF5347, Affinity Biosciences, China), SMAD2 (AF6449, Affinity Biosciences, China), p-SMAD2 (AF3450, Affinity Biosciences, China), SMAD3 (AF6362, Affinity Biosciences, China), p-SMAD3 (AF3362, Affinity Biosciences, China), and GAPDH (AF7021, Affinity Biosciences, China) for 12 h. Immediately afterward, the membranes were subject to incubation with the secondary antibody (A-B6721, Abcam, UK) conjugated with HRP for 2 hours, and the signals were observed with an ECL detection kit (P0018S, Beyotime, China) and quantitated by fragments' intensities using the Image J software.

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.
