After cell harvest and tissue collection, total proteins were extracted via radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was performed to separate proteins from the loading products to the gels; then, proteins on the gels were transferred to the polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (Thermo Fisher Scientific). PVDF membranes were blocked in 5% skim milk (Invitrogen), followed by the incubation of primary antibodies against cyclin D1 (#2922, 1:1000), p21 (#2947, 1:1000), p27 (#3686, 1:1000), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2; #4223, 1:1000), Bcl-2-associated X (Bax; #5023, 1:1000), phospho-AKT (p-AKT; #4060, 1:2000), AKT (#4691, 1:1000), phospho-mTOR (p-mTOR; #5536, 1:1000), mTOR (#2983, 1:1000) or internal control glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; #8884, 1:1000) at 4°C overnight. Enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL; Bio-Rad) was exploited for protein presentation after the membranes were incubated with a second antibody (#7074, 1:3000) for 1 h at room temperature. The protein bands were captured and analyzed by Image Lab software (Bio-Rad). The antibodies used in this study were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (CST, Boston, MA, USA).

Western blot was performed as previously described [20 (link)]. Firstly, protein samples were separated and shifted onto PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA). Subsequent to sealing with nonfat milk, the membranes were subjected to overnight incubation at 4°C with the following primary antibodies against IQGAP3 (1.7 mg/mL, Invitrogen), CDCA5 (0.5 mg/mL, Invitrogen), EGFR (1 mg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich), K-Ras (1 mg/mL, Thermo Fisher Scientific), p-B-Raf (1 mg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich), p-MEK (~1 mg/mL, Invitrogen), MEK (~1 mg/mL, Invitrogen), p-ERK (0.5 mg/mL, Invitrogen), ERK (0.5 mg/mL, Invitrogen), p-mTOR (0.5 mg/mL, Invitrogen), mTOR (1 mg/mL, Thermo Fisher Scientific), p-PI3K (1 mg/mL, Invitrogen), PI3K (1 mg/mL, Thermo Fisher Scientific), p-AKT (1 mg/mL, Invitrogen), AKT (0.1 mg/mL, Invitrogen), and GAPDH (0.5 mg/mL, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Then, the blots went through incubation with secondary antibody (~2 mg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich). At length, chemiluminescence system supplied by GE Healthcare (Chicago) was utilized for protein detection. The experiment was performed in triplicate.

Total protein was extracted from cells or tissues using a whole protein extraction kit (AS1012, ASPEN). The primary antibodies (ASPEN) used were netrin-1 (1:1000), CD63 (1:2000), CD9 (1:2000), TSG101 (1:1000), nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) (1:1000), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC) (1:1000), pro-caspase-1 (1:2000), cleaved caspase-1 (1:2000), pro-IL-1β (1:2000), IL-1β (1:2000) (Abcam), Unc5b (1:2000), PI3K (1:2000), p-PI3K (1:2000), Akt (1:2000), p-Akt (1:2000), mTOR (1:2000), p-mTOR (1:2000) and GAPDH (1:2000) (26,616, Thermo). A gel image processing system (gel Pro analyser software) was used to analyse the grey value of the target strip.

RIPA lysis buffer and Bradford Protein Assay Kit were used for protein determination from brain tissues (Bio Basic Inc., Markham, Ontario, Canada). The separated proteins were loaded and incubated on the PVDF membrane with primary antibodies for Beclin 1 (# PA5-20172), p-ERK (#44-680G), p-mTOR (#44-1125G), p-PI3K (# PA5-99367), ERK ( #13–6200), mTOR (# AHO1232), LC3 A (#PA5-23180), LC3 B (#PA1-16930), NF‐κB (p65) (# 51–0500), and β-actin (# MA5-15739) (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham. MA, USA) at 4°C. Following washing, blots were incubated with peroxidase‐labeled anti‐rabbit secondary antibodies at 37°C for 1 h. protein Bands intensity was detected using the chemiluminescent substrate (ClarityTM Western ECL substrate—Bio-Rad, TNC, USA), and a CCD camera-based imager. Analysing the images was done using Chemi Doc MP Imager and then normalised by β-actin.

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.
