The cell lysates from each sample was subjected to electrophoresis and transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane. The membrane was probed with primary antibodies and HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies, and then developed using enhanced chemiluminescence (
ECL) system (Beyotime Biotechnology, China). The density of the bands was quantified by densitometry using GelPro 3.2 software. The β-actin protein served as internal control to normalize the expression level of other proteins.
The primary antibodies included an anti-RAC1 antibody (Catalog number 8631, 1:1000 dilution, Cell Signaling Technology, USA), an anti-A20 antibody, an anti-FAK Phospho (pY397) antibody, an anti-FAK Phospho (py861) antibody, an anti-FAK antibody, an
anti-E-Cadherin antibody and an anti-N-Cadherin antibody (Catalog number 2644–1, 2211-S, 2153–1, 1700-S, 1702–1 and 2447–1, 1:1000 dilution, Epitomics, USA), an anti-RIP1 antibody (Catalog number ab125072, 1:1000 dilution, Abcam, China), and an anti-β-actin antibody (Catalog number
PR-0255, 1:2000 dilution, ZSGB-BIO, China). The secondary antibodies included a
goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody and a goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (Catalog number ZB-2301 and
ZB-2305, 1:2000 dilution, ZSGB-BIO, China).
