Western blotting was carried out as previously described (8 (link)). Briefly, mTiD/PLiD lysates were prepared and quantified by using Bio-Rad protein assay kit (Thermo Scientific., Chicago, IL). Cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE and blotted onto PVDF membrane (EMD Millipore, Danvers, MA), blocked and incubated with primary antibodies (mouse anti-E-cadherin (610181, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA ), mouse anti-vimentin (sc-6260, Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX), rabbit anti-CD31 (PA5–16301, ThermoFisher Scientific, Grand Island, NY), rabbit anti-LYVE1 (ab14917, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), mouse anti-surfactant protein (SP-B, ab3282, or SP-D, ab1778 Abcam, Cambridge, MA), rabbit anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, ab135781, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), a mouse anti-MUC16 (CA125, ab10029, Abcam, Cambridge, MA) and mouse anti-GAPDH (sc-365062, Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX). Then incubated with appropriate sheep anti-mouse secondary antibodies (NA911V, GE healthcare Life sciences, Pittsburgh, PA) or donkey anti-rabbit (NA934V, GE healthcare Life sciences, Pittsburgh, PA) tagged with HRP. Proteins of interest were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence system (RPN2106, GE healthcare Life sciences, Pittsburgh, PA or 34095, ThermoFisher Scientific, Grand Island, NY) and imaged on chemiDoc™ XRS with Image lab software (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA).
