Immunoblotting was performed as described (Mitra et al., 2003 (link)). Primary antibodies were anti-DMBT1 (1:500; #SAB2700429; Sigma-Aldrich), anti-EZH2 (1:1,000; #5246), anti-MMP2 (1:1,000; #4022), anti-MMP9 (1:1,000; #3852), anti-TNFα (1:1,000; #3707), anti-TGFβ1 (1:1,000; #3907; Cell Signaling Technology), anti–E-cadherin (1:2,000; #610182), anti-actin (1:2,000; #612656; BD Biosciences), anti–ZEB-1 (1:500; #21544-1-AP; Proteintech), and GAPDH (1:5,000; #MAB374; Millipore). Secondary antibodies were HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG or goat anti-mouse IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch). Immunoreactive proteins were visualized by SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate. Signal intensity was quantified using ImageJ and expressed as densitometric units normalized to the control.
The high molecular weight of DMBT1 protein is due to glycosylation at multiple sites (Martínez et al., 2011 (link)). Changes in molecular mass of DMBT1 may result from variations in the number of SRCR domains or glycosylation (Reichhardt et al., 2017 (link)). Glycosylation may have contributed to multiple bands or “smeared” appearance observed on some immunoblots in the present study. The multiple bands or entire smear was quantified when present.

Dock5 Regulation of ZEB1 Ubiquitination

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Extraction of skin tissue and cellular protein and Western blot were performed as in our previous protocols (15 (link),16 (link)). The following antibodies were used: anti-Dock5 from Novus; anti-Dock1, 3, and 8 and anti-ZEB1 from Proteintech; anti-PCNA (PC10), antivimentin (V9), anti-GAPDH (V-18), and anti-ITGA3 from Santa Cruz Biotechnology; and anti-LAMA3, anti-αSMA, antifibronectin, and anti–collagen I from Abcam. Ubiquitination and half-life assays were performed as described in our previous study (16 (link)). Briefly, for the ubiquitination assay, cells were transfected by Dock5 plasmids with hemagglutinin-ubiquitin for 24 h and treated with MG-132 (10 μmol/L) (MCE, Shanghai, China) for 4 h. Cells were harvested, and the lysates were incubated with anti-ZEB1 antibody at 4°C overnight. Ubiquitylated ZEB1 proteins were analyzed by immunoblotting with an antibody against the hemagglutinin epitope. For ZEB1 protein half-life analysis, cells were treated with Dock5 plasmid, and cycloheximide (25 μmol/L) (MCE) was added to block protein synthesis. Cell lysates were collected at the indicated time points after cycloheximide administration and subjected to immunoblot analysis with indicated antibodies.

RIPA buffer was added to cells and incubated with shaking on ice for more than half an hour. The lysate supernatant was collected, and a protease inhibitor (1%; ComWin Biotech, Beijing, China) was added. The supernatant was centrifuged, and the protein concentration was measured using a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Proteins were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and were then transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, USA). After blocking for 1 h with 5% skim milk powder, membranes were incubated with the primary antibody at 4 °C overnight. The following primary antibodies were used: anti-ZEB1 (1:1000 dilution,; Proteintech, USA), anti-E-cadherin (1:1000 dilution, Cell Signaling Technology (CST), USA), anti-N-cadherin (1:1000 dilution; CST, USA), anti-vimentin (1:1000 dilution; Bioss, China), and anti-GAPDH (1:5000 dilution; Bioss, China). Membranes were washed three times for 10 min each in TBST containing 0.1% Tween and were then incubated with goat anti-rabbit or goat anti-mouse secondary antibodies (1:8000 dilution, Bioss, China) for 1 h at room temperature. Membranes were washed three times with TBST containing 0.1% Tween. Protein bands were detected with SuperSignal West Femto Agent (Millipore) and visualized with the Chemical Mp Imaging System (Bio-Rad).

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.
