No. 9662, Cell Signalling Technology), PARP (Cat. No. 9542; Cell Signalling Technology) and GAPDH (Cat. No. MCA4740, BIO RAD Hercules, CA, USA). Primary antibodies were used at 1:1000 dilution for Western blotting.
Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) was performed overnight at 4 °C using the IRE1α antibody (Cat. No. 3294, Cell Signalling Technology) and JNK antibody (Cat. No. 9251, Cell Signalling Technology) at 1:200 dilution. Immunocomplexes were collected with protein G sepharose beads (17-0618-01, GE Healthcare, Glattbrugg, Switzerland) for 30 min at 4 °C prior to Western blotting. Densitometry of bands was measured using ImageJ software.

Cells were washed with cold PBS and lysed with western blot lysis buffer (Beyotime, China), and the lysates were centrifuged at 13 400 g for 5 min at 4°C. Protein concentrations were quantified using a BCA Assay Kit (Beyotime, China). Proteins were separated by 10% sodium dodecylsulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) and transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Millipore, USA). The membrane was incubated overnight at 4°C with antibodies against GAPDH (Wanleibio, China), BIP, PERK, IRE1α, phospho IRE1α, EIF2α and phospho EIF2α (all from Cell Signaling Technology, USA). Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (ZSGB-BIO, China) was incubated with the membrane at 37°C for 1 h. Proteins were detected by chemiluminescence using SuperSignal West Pico (Thermo Fisher, USA) and imaged on a ChemiDoc MP imaging system (Bio-Rad, USA).

Immunoblotting was performed using 20 μg of proteins from cell lysate per sample as previously described26 (link). Primary antibodies against phospho-NF-κB p65, NF-κB p65, phospho-PERK, PERK, phospho-eIF2α, eIF2α, phospho-IRE1α, IRE1α, ATF4, and GAPDH (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) were used in the experiments. After incubation with secondary antibody and extensive washing, blots were placed in Amersham ECL Prime Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE Life Sciences). Blots were then imaged using the ChemiDoc MP system (Bio-Rad), and bands were quantified using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health)26 (link). Band intensities of phospho-NF-κB p65, phospho-PERK, phospho-eIF2α, and phospho-IRE1α were normalized by band intensities of total NF-κB p65, PERK, eIF2α, and IRE1α, respectively, of the same samples on the same blot after blot stripping and re-probing. Band intensities of ATF4 were normalized by band intensities of GAPDH of the same samples on the same blot.

Cells were harvested after treatment, washed 3 times with PBS and lysed in CHAPS lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology). The concentration of protein was measured using the BCA protein assay kit, and loading buffer was added to the samples. The samples were subjected to 12% SDS-PAGE; then proteins were transferred onto PVDF membranes (Millipore). After blocking with 5% non-fat milk at room temperature for 1 h, PVDF membranes were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. The following antibodies against these proteins were used: Caspase-3, PARP, Mcl-1, Bcl-xl, Bcl-2, Bax, Smac/DIABLO, Cytochrome C, ATF-4, phospho-IRE1α, IRE1α, phosphor-eIF2α, eIF2α, phosphor-Akt, Akt, phosphor-PI3K, PI3K, mTOR, and GAPDH, which were all purchased from Cell Signaling Technologies (Danvers, USA). Next, the membranes were incubated with the corresponding secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature.
Finally, the proteins were detected by enhanced chemiluminescence, and densitometric analysis was performed using ImageJ software. The cytosolic fraction of the cells was purified as described earlier [25] .

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.
