Total cellular protein lysates were prepared with Pierce lysis buffer (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA) and quantified by the Bradford method. Equal amounts of total protein (20 µg) were loaded onto 10% SDS‐PAGE gels and electrophoresed at 100 V for 1 hour. Then, the separated proteins were transferred onto PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) at 80 V for 2 hours. The membranes were blocked in 5% non‐fat milk in 1× TBST and then incubated with primary antibodies against EGFR (1:500; Santa Cruz, USA), PERK, IRE1α, ATF 6, (1:1000; Abcam), phospho‐eIF2α, GRP78, GRP94, PDI, ERO1‐Lα, CHOP, phospho‐ATM, DNA‐PK, LC3B, Atg3, cleaved caspase 3, cleaved PARP, and β‐actin (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology, Boston, MA, USA) at 4°C overnight. After washing with 1× TBST, the membranes were incubated with secondary anti‐mouse or anti‐rabbit IgG HRP‐linked antibodies (1:5000; Cell Signaling Technology) at room temperature for 2 hours. The blots were developed with Target LumiGLO (Cell Signaling Technology) and photographed with DNR BioImaging System (DNR, Israel).

Cells pretreated with nimotuzumab received irradiation as described above. Cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts were prepared according to the directions for using the nuclear and cytoplasmic extraction kit (Beyotime, Nanjing, Jiangsu, People’s Republic of China) 6 hours after irradiation. Protein concentration was determined by the BCA protein assay kit (Servicebio, Wuhan, Hubei, People’s Republic of China). Protein lysates were then separated on an 8% or 12% SDS-PAGE gel depending on the protein molecular weight and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Immunoblots were blocked in 5% protease-free bovine serum albumin for 1 hour and probed with γ-H2AX (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), EGFR and p-EGFR (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA), DNA-PK (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA), p-DNA-PK (Epitomics, Burlingame, CA, USA), as well as GAPDH and Lamin B1 (Goodhere, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, People’s Republic of China) antibodies. The membranes were continually incubated with appropriate horseradish peroxidase secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, NM, USA) after washing, and then we detected protein with a chemiluminescence kit (Invitrogen) and visualized the bands on an X-ray film. GAPDH and Lamin B1 were used as an internal control for cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins, respectively, to balance equal loading.

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.
