Protein expression levels were evaluated by immunoblotting analysis as previously described [23 (link)]. Briefly, whole cell lysates (WCLs) were extracted using radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and protease/phosphatase inhibitor (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The prepared WCLs were separated with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. The following primary antibodies were used: anti-cleaved caspase-3, anti-total caspase-3, anti-β-actin, anti-light chain 3 (LC3)-I/II, anti-p62, anti-Atg5, anti-Unc51 like autophagy activating kinase 1 (ULK1), anti-Beclin-1 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), anti-total mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), anti-phosphor-mTOR1 (p-2448S), anti-phosphor-mTOR2 (p2481S), antitotal-protein kinase B (Akt), anti-phosphor-Akt, anti-raptor, and anti-rictor (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA).

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.
