Mouse spheres or tumor tissues lysates were used for Western blots as described [49 (link)]. For immunoblotting, we used the following antibodies: anti-mouse PERK (#3192 S), p-PERK (#3179 S), IRE1α (#43294 S), ATF6 (#65880), p-eIF2α (#3398 S), ATF4 (#11815 S), ERK1/2 (#4695 S), p-ERK (#5726 S), CHOP (#5554 S), PARP (9542 S), XPO-1 (#46249), lamin B1 (#12586 S), GAPDH (#3683 S), β-actin (#5125 S) were from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA), p21 (#sc-6246) was from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA),and p-p21 (#E-AB-20947) was from Elabscience (Huston, TX). Antibody binding to the membrane was visualized using a chemiluminescent detection system (ECL, Millipore Sigma).
