Cells were harvested in a 24-well-plate format (in triplicates) for a pool of 3 wells per condition for total protein extraction. Prior to cell lysis, the wells are washed twice with cold PBS and transferred into pre-chilled tubes with the use of a cell scraper. The cells were pelleted gently at 3,500 rpm for 5 min at 4°C before addition of RIPA lysis buffer containing 50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% deoxycholate, 1% NP40, and protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma). Cells were incubated for 10 min on ice, followed by vortexing for 2 min to allow complete cell lysis. Cell debris was then removed by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. The protein supernatant was then transferred into a clean pre-chilled tube. Protein amount per sample was quantified using the RC-DC Bradford assay kit following the manufacturer’s protocol (Bio-Rad), and 50 μg of total protein was loaded for SDS-PAGE. The acrylamide gels were then transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes for western blotting using the following antibodies: C/EBP-α, ab40764 (Abcam); β-tubulin, ab6046 (Abcam); and anti-rabbit-HRP, 926-8011 (LI-COR).

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.
