Human cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cells (ATCC® CCL­2™), colon carcinoma cells HCT116 (ATCC; Manassas, VA) were cultured in standard Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco/Invitrogen), 1% l-glutamine (Gibco/Invitrogen), 1% penicillin–streptomycin (Invitrogen), and growth conditions at 37°C in 5% humidified CO2 incubators. Creation and characterization of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of the ELAVL1 gene in HCT116 cells was accomplished as described (42 ). Dihydrotanshinone I (D0947) was purchased from Sigma and dissolved in ultrapure dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO, Amresco, N182) to 10 mM final concentration. Antibodies used recognized HuR (sc-71290; from Santa Cruz Biotechnology), His tag (anti-6x His (ab1187; from Abcam)) and β-actin (Clone C4; MP Biomedicals).

For protein extraction, the cells were washed twice with ice-cold 1 × PBS and lysed in 50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors followed by sonication. Equal amounts of total protein were separated by SDS–PAGE (#456-1094, BIO-RAD), transferred to a PVDF membrane using Trans-Blot Turbo System (#170-4273, BIO-RAD) following the manufacturer’s protocol. The following antibodies were used: C/EBPβ (C19) and SBDS (S-15) from Santa Cruz Biotechnology; phospho-p70S6K (Thr389) (108D2), p70S6K (#9202), Hamartin/TSC1 (D43E2) (#6935), phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46) (#9459), 4E-BP1 (#9452), 4E-BP2 (#2845), eIF4E (#9742), Phospho-eIF2α (Ser51) (#9721), eIF2α (#9722) and PKR (#3072) from Cell Signaling; DENR (#10656-1-AP) from ProteintechTM and β-actin (clone C4) (#691001) from MP Biomedicals. HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies were purchased from Amersham Life Technologies. The bands were visualized by chemiluminescence (ECL, Amersham Life Technologies) using ImageQuant LAS 4000 mini imaging machine (GE Healthcare Bioscience AB) and the supplied software was used for the quantification of the bands.

Protein extraction and immunoblotting were performed and analyzed as described previously with minor adjustments [25 (link)]. For extraction, cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% SDS, 5 mM EDTA, 0.5% w/v Sodium Deoxycholate, and 1% NP-40) supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Roche). Lysates were sonicated on ice using the Soniprep 150 MSE at amplitude 10 for 14 cycles (1 second on/1 second off). Insoluble material was removed by centrifugation (10 minutes, 16000x g, 4°C). Protein concentration was determined using a BCA protein assay kit (Pierce/Thermo Fisher Scientific). Proteins samples were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to Nitrocellulose membranes (Protran BA-8). Membranes were blocked (1 hour, 5% non-fat dry milk powder (Campina), ambient temp), and incubated with primary antibodies (overnight, 4°C). Antisera: polyclonal goat anti-COL1A1 (1310–01; Southern Biotech), mouse monoclonal β-Actin (clone C4, 08691001; MP Biomedicals, Santa Ana, CA, USA), mouse monoclonal α-Tubulin (clone B-5-1-2, T6074; Sigma-Aldrich). Secondary antisera: polyclonal rabbit anti-goat (P0449; Dako Cytomation, Glostrup, Denmark), rabbit anti-mouse (P0260; Dako). Signals were detected using enhanced chemoluminescence. X-ray films were scanned and analyzed with Quantity One (Biorad).

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.
