Total cell lysates were prepared with protein lysis buffer (Intron Biotechnology, Seoul, Korea) supplemented with 1× protease inhibitor cocktails and PMSF (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). The lysates were suspended with sample buffer containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and boiled for 7 min for denaturation. Proteins were separated on 8% or 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gels electrophoresis, and then transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. The membrane was incubated with primary antibodies in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween-20 (TBS-T) for overnight at 4 °C. Primary antibodies for p-ERK1/2, t-ERK1/2, p38, p-JNK, t-JNK, AKT, and β-actin were purchased from Santa Cruz biotechnology Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). p-p38 and p-AKT antibodies were obtained from (Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Danvers, MA, USA). The membrane washed with TBS-T to remove primary antibody, followed by incubation with specific secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories Inc., West Grove, PA, USA) for 2 h. The signals were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL; Abclon, Seoul, Korea) and an Image Quant LAS-4000 (Fujifilm Life science, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
