Cells were harvested using the total protein extraction kit (KeyGEN BioTECH, Nanjing, China). Samples were incubated for 0.5 h on ice with agitation and then centrifuged at 14 000×g for 15 min. Protein concentrations were determined using the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay kit (Pierce). Protein samples were subjected to electrophoresis on SDS-polyacrylamide gradient gels, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and blocked in 5% non-fat milk in TBST (phosphorylated proteins were blocked in 5% BSA in TBST) for 2 h at room temperature. Blots were incubated with primary antibodies to the following proteins: ezrin (Abcam), cortactin (Abcam), E-cadherin (CST), α-SMA (Abcam), Slug (CST), Snail (Abcam), Twist (Abcam), Twist2 (Abcam), phosphorylated ezrin at Y-567 (CST), and GAPDH (Beyotime). GAPDH was used on the same membrane as a loading control. The signal was detected after incubation with anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (Bioworld) coupled to peroxidase, using ECL (Millipore). Protein expression levels were evaluated by densitometric analysis.

Cells were lysed with RIPA buffer supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktails, quantified using Bradford method and 30–50 μg of protein was resolved on 10%–12% SDS-PAGE. Further proteins were transferred onto 0.45 μm nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad, United States) and blocked in room temperature with 5% BSA (HiMedia, India) solution for an hour and incubated with respective primary antibodies [FOXM1 (1:2000) (Cell Signaling Technologies, United States); Caspase-9 (1:3000) (Cell Signaling Technologies, United States), B-Actin (1:5000) (Invitrogen, United States); SnaiI, CDH2, VIM (1:3000) (Cloud Clone, United States); TWIST2 (1:2000) (Abcam, United States); γH2AX (1:2000) (Novus Biologicals, United States) and RAD51 (1:2000) (a kind gift from Dr. Ganesh Nagaraju, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India) (Santa Cruz Technologies, United States)] at 4°C overnight. Blots were then incubated with secondary antibodies, either anti-rabbit IgG (1:5000) or anti-mouse IgG (1:5000) (Cell Signaling Technologies, United States) conjugated with HRP for an hour at room temperature. Finally chemiluminescent signals were developed using Clarity Western ECL substrate (Bio-Rad, United States) and visualized using ImageQuant LAS 4000 instrument (GE Healthcare, United States).

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.
