Protein Expression and Quantification

Cells or tissues were collected and lysed with RIPA buffer (Beyotime), and the total protein was detected using a BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime). The equivalent volume of protein was subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS PAGE) and transferred onto the polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. After blocking, the membrane was incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies, including CyclinD1 (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), CDK4 (1:1000, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), active caspase 3 (c-caspase 3; 1:1000, Abcam), active caspase 9 (c-caspase 9; 1:1000, Abcam), β-catenin (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), and Histone H3 (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), DVL2 (1:1000, Abcam), GSK3β (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), TCF 4 (1:1000, Abcam), C-MYC (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology). Anti-β-actin antibody (1:2000, Abcam) acted as an internal control. The membrane was then hybridized with an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (1:5000, Cell signaling Technology) and the signals were measured using chemiluminescence analysis.

Cell lysates collected by radio-immunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 1% NP-40, 0.1% sodium lauryl sulfate) were quantified by BCA protein detection method (Pierce, IL, USA). After separation by sulfate polyacrylamide gel electro-phoresis, 30μg of protein was transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Merck Millipore) and incubated with the primary and secondary antibodies. The primary antibodies included Bax (ab32503, Abcam, MA, USA), Bcl-2 (MA5-11950, Invitrogen), Cytochrome C (556433, BD Biosciences, NI, USA), active-caspase-3 (9661, Cell Signaling Technology, MA, USA), active-caspase-9 (ab2324, Abcam), JAK2 (3230, Cell Signaling Technology), p-STAT3 (9145, Cell Signaling Technology), STAT3 (9139, Cell Signaling Technology), GAPDH (60004-1-Ig, Proteintech, IL, USA). The protein membrane was developed by enhanced chemiluminescence (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) and photographed by the LAS-4000 imager (GE Healthcare Biosciences, Pittsburgh, PA, 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.
