Western blot analysis was performed with precast gradient gels (Bio-Rad) using standard methods. Briefly, cells were lysed in the RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitors (Roche) and phosphatase inhibitors (Sigma). Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad). Membranes were probed with the specific primary antibodies, followed by peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies. The bands were visualized by chemiluminescence (Denville Scientific). The following antibodies were used: antibodies to E-cadherin (1∶1000, BD Transduction Laboratories, 610182), vimentin (1∶2000, NeoMarkers, MS-129-P), Erbb2 (1∶500, Cell signaling Technology, 2242), HOXA1 (1∶1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-17146), SMARCA5 (1∶500, sc-8760 from Santa Cruz Biotechnology and ab3749 from Abcam), SMARCD1 (1∶500, Abcam, ab86029), mTOR (1∶1000, Cell signaling Technology, 2972), BMPR2 (1∶1000, Cell signaling Technology, 69679), cyclin D1 (1∶1000, Cell signaling Technology, 2922), ALDH1A1 (1∶1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-22589), HSP90 (1∶3000, BD Transduction Laboratories, 610419) and cyclophilin B (1∶2000, Thermo, PA1-027A).

This procedure was performed as described previously (19 (link)). Where indicated, immunostaining was preceded with in situ cell fractionation to reveal insoluble proteins (24 (link)). Fluorescent signals were imaged with a Zeiss CLSM710 using a 63× oil (NA = 1.4) objective.

Procedures for preparation of protein lysates and Western blots were followed as described [33] (link), [64] (link). For Western blot, 15 milligrams of whole-cell protein lysate was loaded per lane. Anti-V5 antibody (Pierce) was diluted 1∶5000 for use as the primary antibody. SWI2 antibody was obtained from Abcam (Ab3749). Protein purification prior to MS/MS analysis was performed using a slightly modified procedure [64] (link).

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.
