Immunoblotting was exercised to examine the expression of Hh signaling pathway-related markers in HCC cells according to standard protocols as described previously.18 (link) Protein was harvested using radio immunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer, and a bicinchoninic acid assay was applied to determine the protein concentration. Next, we separated equal amount of protein using 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred the protein to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. After blocking with 1.5% skimmed milk for 1 h at room temperature, membranes were incubated with the primary antibodies at 4°C overnight and with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies. Membranes were developed using a chemiluminescent substrate. The antibodies were used as follows: Gli1 (1:200, ab49314, Abcam), Gli2 antibodies (1:500, ab26056) and Gli3 antibodies (1:500, ab6050) and the secondary antibodies (1:50,000, ab7090).

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.
