As previous reports [46 (link), 47 (link)], CM cells were lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer and quantified by the Bradford method and Ponceau S staining of nitrocellulose membranes. 30 µg protein samples were subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Millipore). Immunoblot membranes were blocked in 5% milk for 1 h. Membranes were incubated with the primary antibody, including CDC42 (Santa Cruz, sc84011, 1:200), TEAD1 (Santa Cruz, sc393976, 1:200), AGO2 (Santa Cruz, sc376696, 1:500), IGF2BP2 (Proteintech, 11601-1-AP, 1:500) and GAPDH (Santa Cruz, sc-47724, 1:1000) at cold room for overnight. After three washes with TBST, membranes were incubated with secondary antibody for 1 h, washed, and exposed to Pierce ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Thermo, #32106) for detection of protein expression.
Proteins were lysed in RIPA buffer and immunoprecipitated with AGO2 or IGF2BP2 antibody and the corresponding IgG. After applying a magnet, proteins associated with Protein A/G Magnetic Beads were washed three times and analyzed by western blotting. The signal densities of protein bands were quantified and normalized to that of GAPDH using the ImageJ software.
