As described by Feng et al [33 (link)]., cells were collected and immersed in RIPA lysis buffer (Solarbio, Beijing, China) and supplemented with phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride. A BCA Protein Assay Kit was used to determine the protein concentration. Equal amounts of protein were subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE and then transferred to a polyacrylamide difluoride membrane. After blocking with 5% nonfat milk for 2 h and subsequent incubation with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, membranes were probed with HRP-labeled secondary antibody (ab150077; Abcam) at room temperature for 2 h. The immunoreactive bands were detected with an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) system (Pierce). The following primary antibodies were used in this study: anti-IRS1 (ab40777; Abcam) and anti-GAPDH (ab181602; Abcam).

Radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (RIPA) (Sangon, China) was used to extract
proteins from cultured cells and the concentration was determined using a
bicinchoninic acid kit (Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd.). Total protein (10 µg) was
resolved by 12% sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
(SDS-PAGE). The proteins were transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)
membranes. Non-fat milk (10%) in PBS buffer (90%) was used to block the
membranes at room temperature for 1 h. Then, the membranes were incubated with
primary antibody at 4°C overnight and secondary antibody at room temperature for
2 h. The immunoreactive bands were developed using an enhanced chemiluminescence
kit (Santa Cruz, USA, sc-2048) and photographed on a gel imager system (Bio-Rad,
USA). The densitometry analysis was performed with ImageJ software (IBM, 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.
