The total protein of cells was extracted using
RIPA buffer (Solarbio Biotech, Beijing, China). Protein concentrations were examined using BCA
TM protein assay kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). A total of 30ug protein was loaded onto the PAGE (EpiZyme, Shanghai, China), separated by electrophoresis and then transferred onto PVDF membranes (
Immunoblot, Bio-Rad). The membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat milk (
Difco™ Skim Milk, BD) for 1 h at room temperature and incubated with primary antibodies against
COL2A1 (Proteintech, Wuhan, China),
MMP13(Santa Cruz, UK), BAX(CST, USA),
HOXA3(Santa Cruz, USA), GAPDH(CST, USA) at 4 °C overnight. Next, the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies(Santa Cruz, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. The protein signaling were visualized with
ECL chemiluminescence kit(Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) using
Molecular Imager ChemiDoc XRS System(Bio-Rad).
