Total cell lysates were obtained with NP-40 lysis buffer (150 mM sodium chloride, 1.0% NP-40, 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0), supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (cOmplete mini, Roche) and phosphatase inhibitors (PhosSTOP, Roche). Protein samples were denatured with 2-mercaptoethanol at 95 °C for 5 min. The following antibodies were used for detection: anti-pALK Y1604 (Cell Signaling Technology), anti-ALK (Cell Signaling Technology), anti-pSTAT3Y705 (Cell Signaling Technology), anti-STAT3 (Cell Signaling Technology), anti-pERK1/2 (Cell Signaling Technology), anti-ERK1/2 (Cell Signaling Technology), anti-pAkt Y473 (Cell Signaling Technology), anti-AKT, anti-human PARP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-HDAC8 (H-145;polyclonal; Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), anti-p-mTOR (Ser2448; Upstate), anti-p-S6K1 (Thr412; Upstate), anti-MET (Cell Signaling Technology), anti-MYCN (Santa Cruz), anti-ac-SMC3 (provided by Prof. K Shirahige, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan) [55 (link)], anti-HSC70 (Santa Cruz), anti-β-actin (clone AC-15; Sigma), anti-actinin (H-2; Santa Cruz) and anti-GAPDH (clone 6C5; Merck).
