The procedure for immunoblotting has been previously described (16 (link)). Cells were treated with cell lysis buffer and then protein samples were collected. Briefly, 40 µg protein/lane was loaded into the lanes of 12% denatured polyacrylamide gel. The proteins were separated by electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (0.45 µm; Schleicher & Schuell; GE Healthcare Life Sciences). The membranes were blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin in 0.01 M PBS (pH 7.4) and 0.05% Tween-20 (PBST) at room temperature for 1 h. Subsequently, the membrane was incubated with the aforementioned primary antibodies against the target proteins overnight at 4°C. Following two quick washes in PBST, the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase [Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP); dilution, 1:4,000 in PBST; ab97051; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 2 h at room temperature. Following washes as aforementioned, an enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (Pierce™ DAB Substrate kit; 34002; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was used to produce fluorescence for detection. The density of immunoblotting was quantified using Quantity One software (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA). The relative expression of the target protein was quantified as a ratio against GAPDH.
