Protein samples were separated by 10% SDS–PAGE and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (GE Healthcare). After being blocked in 1× PBST buffer containing 5% skimmed milk, the membrane was incubated with the selected primary antibody using a 1,000-fold dilution overnight at 4 °C, washed three times with 1× PBST (10 min each) and incubated with the selected secondary antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase using a 3,000-fold dilution for 1 h at room temperature. After three washes with 1× PBST (10 min each), the film was illuminated and photographed with ImageQuant800 (GE Healthcare). AMERSHAM ImageQuot 800 software (v.1.2.0) was used for western blotting analysis; GeneSys software (v.1.3.8.0) was used for gel imaging. If the primary antibodies were already conjugated with horseradish peroxidase, there was no need to incubate the membrane with secondary antibodies. The following antibodies were used: anti-GFP (GF28R, 1:1,000 dilution, Thermo Scientific), anti-RFP (ab34771, 1:2,500 dilution, Abcam), anti-FLAG (F3165, 1:3,000 dilution, Sigma), anti-HA (3F10, 1:3,000 dilution, Sigma), anti-mouse (sc-516102, 1:1,000 dilution, Santa Cruz) and anti-rabbit (ab205718, 1:5,000 dilution, Abcam).

At the experimental end-point and immediately after a routine in vivo bioluminescence image, tumour-bearing or control animals were euthanized; the lungs were then quickly removed, inflated with PBS and imaged ex vivo with an IVIS 200 series camera. The lungs were then fixed in 4% PFA for 24 h, embedded in paraffin, and five 4 µm-thick sections were cut at 100 µm steps, with one slide stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) at each step, resulting in 8–12 step sections covering the whole three dimensions for each pair of lungs. These step sections were analysed for tumour formation, with counting of tumours (which were often present in several adjacent step sections). Tumours were assessed for the presence of invasion to distinguish adenocarcinomas from adenomas, and the adenomas were graded into those showing low-grade or high-grade dysplasia, using established criteria 20 (link).
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on unstained sections following microwave-based antigen retrieval in citrate buffer and incubation with an anti-RFP primary antibody (ab34771; Abcam) at 1:400 dilution at 4°C overnight. The primary antibody was then detected by incubation with a biotinylated secondary antibody (diluted 1:200) and horseradish peroxidase (Vectastain ABC Kit, PK4005, Vector Laboratories). The slides were counterstained with haematoxylin.
