The total protein in transfected KYSE450 and KYSE510 cells was extracted and quantified with the RIPA buffer (Solarbio, China), which was supplemented with 1% proteinase inhibitor cocktail. The protein concentration was obtained with the Pierce BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). Next, the quantified protein was loaded into 10% or 12% SDS-PAGE for electrophoresis separation. The separated protein bands were then electronically transferred to the membranes (Sigma-Aldrich, USA). Following that, the membranes were put under ice for 2 h with 5% BSA at room temperature. This step was followed by the incubation of the membranes overnight with primary antibodies at 4 °C and 1.5 h incubation with secondary detection antibody (Cat# ab205718, Abcam, USA) at room temperature. Finally, the protein immunoblots were visualized using the Enhanced Chemiluminescent (ECL) Reagent Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific. USA). The density of the blots was obtained using ImageJ software. All the primary antibodies were purchased from Abcam (USA), including anti-CyclinB1 (Cat# ab32053), anti-ICAM1 (Cat# ab53013), anti-VCAM1 (Cat# ab134047), anti-Cleaved PARP (Cat# ab32561), anti-Bax (Cat# ab32503), anti-Cleaved Caspase-3 (Cat# ab2302), anti-TXNRD1 (Cat# ab124954) and anti-β-actin (Cat# ab8227).

Western blot procedures were performed as described previously [20 ]. The protein concentration for homogenized liver lysates was evaluated with DC Protein Assay Kit (Bio Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The protein samples were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). After then, the protein was transferred to a PVDF membrane (IPVH00010; Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). 5% skim milk diluted in tris-buffered saline with 0.1% Tween-20 (TBS-T) was used as a blocking reagent. For primary antibodies, anti-ICAM-1 (sc-7891; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-VCAM-1 (ab134047; Abcam), and anti-β-actin (A1978; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA; and sc-47778; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) were used.

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.
