The detailed experimental procedures were as described previously 20 (link). Briefly, RIPA lysis buffer was used to extract proteins from cell samples and tissues. Then we separated equal amounts of lysate protein by SDS-PAGE, and then transferred them onto a PVDF membrane. The following primary antibodies were used: HRC (Sigma-Aldrich, SAB1303636), c-Raf (Affinity Biosciences, Cincinnati, OH, USA; AF6065), phosphorylated (p)-c-Raf (Affinity Biosciences, AF3065), MEK (Affinity Biosciences, AF6385), p-MEK (Affinity Biosciences, AF8035), ERK (Affinity Biosciences, AF0155), p-ERK (Affinity Biosciences, AF1015), N-cadherin (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA; #13116S), Calmodulin (Cell Signaling Technology, #S35944), Vimentin (Cell Signaling Technology, #5741S), E-cadherin (Cell Signaling Technology, #3195S), Snail (Cell Signaling Technology, #S3879), Slug (Cell Signaling Technology, #9585S), and GAPDH (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; ab9485).

Cells were lysed by RIPA buffer (50 mmol/L Tris-HCl, pH 7.4; 150 mmol/L NaCl; 1% (v/v) NP-40; 5 mmol/L EDTA; 1 mmol/L DTT; 0.5% sodium deoxycholate; 0.1% SDS; 1 mmol/L Na3VO4; and 1 mmol/L PMSF) and centrifuged at 12,000×g for 30 min at 4°C. Supernatant proteins were determined by Bradford method using BSA as standard and measured at 595 nm. After SDS page separation, proteins were transferred onto a PVDF membrane and revealed by ECL detection reagents. Primary antibodies used in the study included TNF-alpha, TRADD, β-actin, CaM, cytochrome C, calmodulin from Cell signaling technology (Denvers, MA, USA); caspase 8 were from Millipore (Billerica, MA, USA); RIP3 and calpain1 were from Biovision (Milpitas, CA, USA); caspase 3 and were from Abcam (Cambridge, UK).

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.
