Cell lysates were harvested from A498 and 786-O cells with or without treatment of different dose of Rhein by RIPA buffer (Beyotime). Protein lysates were dissolved in 2× loading buffer and boiled for 15 min at 100°C. After that protein lysates were resolved on 11% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. Resultant blots were blocked with 5% skim milk and reacted with properly diluted primary antibodies against glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Santa Cruz), phospho-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Santa Cruz), total extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Santa Cruz), p-AKT (Cell Signaling Technology), phospho-c-Jun N-terminal kinase (Cell Signaling Technology), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) (Cell Signaling Technology) and CCND1 (Cell Signaling Technology) for 1 h at room temperature.

Western Blots were conducted as previously described.30 (link) Tissue was lysed in radio-immunoprecipitation assay buffer (Boston BioProducts, Ashland, MA); 40ug were fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfide polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using 3%–8% Tris-Acetate gels (NuPage Novex Mini Gel), and the protein was transferred to polyvinylidene diflouride membranes (PVDF) (Millipore, Billerica, MA) and incubated overnight at 4 degrees C with primary antibodies against cleaved caspase 3, caspase 3, phosphorylated (serine 140) myeloid cell leukemia sequence-1 (p-MCL-1) , transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), phosphorylated-SMAD2/3, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) and heat shock factor-1 (HSF-1) (all from Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA). Twenty-four hours later, the membranes were incubated with the appropriate horseradish peroxidase-linked secondary antibody for 1h at room temperature (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA). Immune complexes were visualized with enhanced chemi-luminescence. Images were captured with a digital camera system (G-Box, Syngene, Cambridge, England). Image J software was used to quantify band densitometry as arbitrary light units. Loading error was controlled for by probing membranes with an antibody against GAPDH.

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.
