Proteins in cell lysates were detected with antibodies against phospho-PAK1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), PAK1, phospho-AKT, AKT, HIF1α (BD Biosciences, North Ryde, Australia), and GAPDH. Antibodies were from Cell Signalling Technology (Arundel, Australia), unless otherwise stated. Bound antibodies were visualized using ECL reagents (GE Healthcare, Amersham, UK), and the density of each band was analysed using Multigauge computer software (Berthold, Bundoora, Australia). HIF1α expression was determined in cells cultured under normoxia or hypoxia (1 % O2).

β-Catenin Immunoprecipitation and Immunoblotting

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were lysed in lysis buffer (50 mmol/L HEPES, pH 7.5, 150 mmol/L NaCl, 5 mmol/L MgCl2, 1% NP40, 1 mmol/L DTT, 5 μg/mL aprotinin, 5 μg/mL leupeptin, and 1 mmol/L PMSF). The cell lysates were centrifuged at 13,000 g for 10 min at 4°C, and the protein concentration from the resultant supernatants was quantified using Bradford reagent (Sigma). In some cases, the supernatants were immunoprecipitated with anti‐β‐catenin antibody, followed by immunoblotting. For immunoblotting samples from either cell lysates or immunoprecipitates were resolved by SDS‐PAGE, and proteins were detected with the antibodies indicated in the text. The bound antibodies were visualized using ECL reagents (GE Healthcare, Amersham, Buckinghamshire, UK), and the density of each band was analyzed using Multigauge computer software (Berthold, Bundoora, Vic., Australia).

Protein Expression Analysis in CRC

Total protein was extracted form CRC tumor tissues, corresponding adjacent normal tissues and cultured cells. The protein concentration was determined by the BCA method. 40µg total proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, followed by transferring to a PVDF membrane (GE Healthcare). Then the membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk in Tris-buffered saline (TBS) containing 0.1% Tween-20 (TBS-T), for 1 h and subsequently incubated overnight at 4 °C with the primary antibodies, including SLPI (#sc373802, 1:200, Santa Cruz biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), Phospho-AKT (#9271, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology) and AKT (#9272, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), and GAPDH (1:1000, #sc32233, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA). After that, the membrane was incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies IgG (Sigma, 1: 5,000) for 2 h at room temperature. The protein bands were visualized with Amersham ECL substrates and analyzed by Multigauge computer software (Berthold, Bundoora, Australia).

Proteins were extracted from tumours and from adjacent normal tissues of small intestine and colon/rectum of APC∆14/+ mice using the method described previously [5 (link), 14 (link)]. Proteins were separated by running the samples through 10% SDS-PAGE, and then blotted with antibodies against Bmi1 (Gene Tex, Irvine, CA), PAK1 or GAPDH (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA). Bound antibodies were visualized using ECL reagents (GE Healthcare, Amersham, UK), and the density of each band was analysed using Multi-gauge computer software (Berthold). The correlation of Bmi1 and PAK1 was analysed using the program Sigma Plot 12 (SPSS, Chicago, IL).

Protein Expression Analysis in Xenograft Tumors

Cells were lysed in SDS sample buffer. The proteins in cell lysates were resolved by SDS-polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE), and detected with antibodies against HIF-1α (BD Biosciences, San Jose, California), PAK1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), phospho-PAK1 (Ser144), PAK2, PAK4, β-catenin, ERK, pERK, AKT, pAKT and GAPDH (Cell Signaling). Bound antibodies were visualized using ECL reagents (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK), and the density of each band was analyzed using Multi-gauge computer software (Berthold, Bundoora, Australia).
50 mg samples of frozen xenograft tumors were homogenized using an ultra Turrax T25 homogenizer (Janke and Kunkel, Staufen, Germany) in 500 μl tissue lysis buffer (150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5, 50 mM HEPES, 10 mM EDTA, 10 mM Na4P2O7, 100 mM NaF, protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche)) as described before [18 (link)]. The lysates were then centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C, and supernatants were collected. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE. Protein expression was determined with the antibodies indicated in the text.

Protein Quantification and Western Blot Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The complete protein was extracted and quantified using the BCA method. We used the SDS-PAGE to collect 40 µg of total protein and transferred it to a PVDF membrane (GE Healthcare). Therefore, the membrane sealing, and antibody incubation were conducted with 5% skimmed milk powder at room temperature for 1 h. Subsequently, the antibodies were diluted into the blocking solution following the manuscript instructions and incubated with the membrane at 5 ℃ overnight. The primary antibodies included β—actin first antibody (beyotime), SLPI first antibody (Abcam, ab17157), PUMA first antibody (Abcam, ab9643) and p-foxo3 α first antibody (Abcam, ab9643), Ab47285) FoxO3 α first antibody (Abcam, ab12162) p65 (Abcam, ab16502) p-p65 (Abcam, ab76302) p-Akt (Abcam, ab81283) Akt (Abcam, ab8805) Bax (Abcam, ab32503) c-caspase3 (Abcam, ab2302) Ki67 (Abcam, ab15580). Furthermore, we used the TBST to wash the membrane incubated with a primary antibody three times, 10 min each time. Then, secondary antibody second antibody (beyotime) was diluted and incubated with the membrane at room temperature for 2 h, washed with TBST three times, 10 min each time before the bands' observation through Amersham ECL solution, and assessed with Multi gauge computer software (Berthold, Bundoora, Australia).

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.
