Western blotting was followed, was described elsewhere [12 (link)]. Polyclonal rabbit antibody for Fli-1 (ab133485), PKCδ (ab182126), Phospho- PKCδ (ab133456), MEK (ab178876), Phospho-MEK (ab96379), BAD (ab32445), and Phospho-BAD (ab129192) were obtained from Abcam (Abcam, Cambridge, UK); ERK (#4695) and phospho-ERK (#9101) from Cell Signalling Technology (CST, Danvers, MA01923, USA), β-actin (20536–1-AP) and GAPDH (13937–1-AP), from Proto-Technology (Protein-Tech, Bucuresti, Romania). Antibody dilution according to the manufacturer instructions.
The inhibitor of MEK (U0126) [#S1102] were obtained from Sellectchem (Sellectchem, Houston, USA) and PKC agonist Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA) from Sigma, (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA).
