Thirty micrograms of proteins obtained from all samples were processed as previously described [29 (link)]. Blotted membranes were incubated with the following primary antibodies: rabbit anti-RUNX2 (1:750, rabbit; Sigma-Aldrich, Milan, Italy), anti-Vimentin (1:750, rabbit; Sigma-Aldrich), anti-Laminin (1:750, rabbit; Sigma-Aldrich), anti-N-cadherin (1:750, rabbit; Sigma-Aldrich) and anti-beta-actin (1:750, mouse; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA). After five washes in PBS containing 0.1% Tween-20, membranes were incubated for 1 h at RT with peroxidase-conjugated anti rabbit and anti-mouse secondary antibodies (1:2000; ThermoFisher Scientific, Milan, Italy). Protein expression was analysed by the enhanced chemiluminescence detection method (ECL) (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Milan, Italy) with photo documenter Alliance 2.7 (Uvitec, Cambridge, UK). Signals were evaluated by ECL enhancing and assessed through an UVIband-1D gel analysis system (Uvitec) [30 (link)].
