Whole-cell lysates were prepared with RIPA lysis buffer as described previously [37 (link)]. Approximately 40 mg of protein lysate per sample was loaded and separated in 8–12% SDS-PAGE gel and then transferred to PVDF membrane (Roche, 03010040001); membrane was blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk for 1 h and then incubated with primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight, followed by secondary antibody incubation for 2 h at room temperature and imaging. Primary antibody were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (CST): Caspase 9 (9508S), Caspase 7 (9492S), Caspase 3 (9662S), PARP (9542 T), Cleaved-Caspase 9 (7237S), Cleaved-Caspase7 (8438S), Cleaved-Caspase 3 (9664S), Cleaved-PARP (5625S), Cytochrome C (Cyt,c, 4280S), Akt (4691S), p-AKT (4060S), Raf 9422S), p-Raf (9421S), Mek (4694S), p-Mek (2338S), Erk (4695S), p-Erk (4377S), Cyclin B1 (4135S), Cdc2 (9116S), p-Cdc2 (4539S), β-actin (4970S), β-actin (MA1–140); secondary antibody goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (sc-7074). Western blot bands were quantified using ImageJ with background noise removed using Rolling-Ball correction.

The TNBC cell line (MDA-MB-231), and human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) were purchased from ATCC and were maintained in recommended culture condition as per the ATCC instructions38 (link). The viral VEGF-E homologs (PCPV-VEGF, ORFV-VEGF, and BPSV-VEGF) were a kind gift from Dr. L.M. Wise, University of Otago, Dunedin New Zealand39 (link). Antibodies against GFP, PCNA, GAPDH, p-Erk, p-MEK, p-Raf, AKT, FoxO1, H2A were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc Dallas, TX, and ERK, PI3k110α, and p-AKT was purchased from Cell Signaling Technologies Inc. Danvers, MA and anti-BrdU antibody from Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher (SI Table 4). The secondary antibodies for western blot are IR conjugated and were from LI-COR Inc. Lincoln, NE, while for microscopy the secondary antibody is Alexa 594 conjugated purchased from Invitrogen Inc. Carlsbad, CA.
LY294002, an inhibitor for PI3K was purchased from Sigma Aldrich Inc. St. Louis, MO. MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with 50 µM and HMEC cells with 30 µM of LY294002 and incubated for 24 h before being used for assays.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For Western blotting, JJ012 and SW1353 cells (5 × 105 each) were seeded in six-well plates. After 24 h of treatment with various concentrations of visfatin, the cells were collected and lysed. A total of 50 μg of protein per lane was separated on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel, transferred to a membrane, and probed with primary antibodies, including p-RAF (SC-101791, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), p-MEK (2338S, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), p-ERK (SC-7383, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), HIF-1α (ab1, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), RAF (SC-133, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), MEK (SC-6250, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), ERK (SC-1647, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), VEGF-D (A19242, ABclonal, Woburn, MA, USA), and β-Actin (A5441, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies were applied in TBS containing 5% non-fat milk. Protein bands were detected on the blots using enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Glasgow, UK). The data were expressed as a relative expression ratio to β-Actin [37 (link)].

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.
