Cell lysate preparation and western blot analysis were performed in adherence to established procedures [15 (link), 20 (link)]. Whole-cell lysates were obtained using a kit (Servicebio Co. Ltd., Wuhan, China). Nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions were obtained using the Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Protein Extraction Kit (KeyGEN, Nanjing, China). The following primary antibodies were used: Akt (#4691, Cell Signaling), P-Akt (#4060, Cell Signaling), Nrf2 (ab89443, Abcam), TBP (ab51841, Abcam), SOD1 (10269-1-AP, Proteintech), SOD2 (24127-1-AP, Proteintech), CAT (21260-1-AP, Proteintech), GSH-Px1 (#PB0205, BosterBio), and β-actin (Servicebio Co. Ltd.). After incubation with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies, specific bands were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence using a Bio-Rad ChemiDoc XRS (Bio-Rad, USA) and quantified by Image Lab™ Software.
