The protein was extracted using lysis buffer, and protein concentration was measured via BCA assay kits. After electrophoresis and membrane transfer, the bands were incubated with the primary antibody including PAK1 (1/1000, ab223849, Abcam) and GAPDH (1/2500, ab9485, Abcam) at 4°C overnight, then cultured with secondary antibody at room temperature for 2 h. The chemiluminescence system (Bio-Rad, USA) imaging system was performed to measure all bands.

Total protein extracts from tissues and cells were prepared using RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime, Haimen, China) supplemented with PMSF (Beyotime). Sample protein concentration was measured using the bicinchoninic acid kit (Beyotime). Proteins were separated on 8–12% polyacrylamide gels by electrophoresis and subsequently transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany). The membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat milk for 1 hour at room temperature and then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. After washing with Tris-buffered saline/0.1% Tween 20 (TBST), the membranes were incubated with secondary for 2 hours at room temperature and immunoreactive bands then detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence reagent. Antibodies against TGS101 (ab125011), CD206 (ab64693), iNOS (ab178945) α-SMA (ab240678), PAK1 (ab223849), collagen I (ab34710), collagen III (ab184993), p-p65 (ab31624), p65 (ab32536), p-IKKβ (ab114243), and p-IκBα (ab133462) were obtained from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA).

Proteins were extracted from the cerebral cortex or cultured cells using the Membrane and Cytosol Protein Extraction Kit (Beyotime, China) and measured with the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime, China). Fifty micrograms protein per sample was separated through 10% ExpressPlus™ Gels (GenScript, the USA) and then transferred to Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. After blocking with 5% skim milk in buffer, the membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with the following antibodies: Caspase‐1 (89332, CST), Cleaved Caspase‐3 (ab214430, Abcam), COX‐2 (12282, CST), p‐JNK (ab124956, Abcam), JNK (ab179461, Abcam), p‐P38 (4511, CST), P38 (8690, CST), BAX (ab32504, Abcam), Bcl‐2 (ab182858, Abcam), MMP‐2 (87809S, CST), MMP‐9 (ab228402, Abcam), Catalase (ab76110, Abcam), Cu/Zn SOD (ab13498, Abcam), β‐actin (4970, CST), CD63 (EXOAB‐CD63A‐1, SBI), CD81 (EXOAB‐CD81A‐1, SBI), CD9 (EXOAB‐CD9A‐1, SBI), Rac1 (8631, CST), Cdc42 (8747, CST), PAK‐1(ab223849, Abcam) and p‐PAK1 (ab75599, Abcam). The membranes were washed and incubated with the secondary antibodies for 2 hours, and the positive bands were detected with a chromogenic developing agent.

All animal experimental procedures were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Gansu Provincial Tumor Hospital. For the establishing of the xenograft model, A549 cells (1 × 107) with sh‐NC or sh‐hsa_circ_0004396 were subcutaneously injected into the nude mice (4 weeks old, 5 mice/group). At the same time, mice were checked daily with normal activities such as eating, drinking, eliminating, and ambulating. Tumor size was measured every 5 days, followed by calculation following the formula that length × width2/2. After injection for 30 days, the mice were sacrificed and the tumor weight was measured. Immunohistochemical staining assay was carried out as described previously,28 and tissue sections from the obtained tumors were incubated with antibodies specific for Ki67 (0.5 μg/ml, ab15580; Abcam) and (1:100, ab223849; Abcam).

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.
