Once the cells were harvested, the cell pellets were lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation (RIPA) buffer containing 1% NP-40, 1% sodium deoxycholate, and protease inhibitor (PI) cocktail on ice for 30 min. This was followed by centrifugation at 13,000 rpm for 30 min at 4 °C. The resulting supernatants were subsequently collected. Proteins were separated using 8% to 15% SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gels and transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane. The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk for 1 h at room temperature, followed by incubation with a primary antibody. Anti-Tyrosinase, anti-TRP1, anti-TRP2, anti-MITF, anti-phospho AKT, anti-AKT, anti-phospho ERK, anti-ERK, anti-phospho CREB, anti-CREB, and anti-actin antibodies were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Membranes were washed with Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween-20 (TBST) and incubated with donkey anti-rabbit or anti-mouse horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated IgG secondary antibody for 2 h. Protein bands were detected by an ImageQuant LAS 4000 mini (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan) and visualized using an image analysis program (Multi Gauge Ver. 3.0, Fujifilm, 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.
