To detect Pol II phosphorylation under drug treatment, total proteins from GK cells were extracted with RIPA buffer (Millipore) and resolved on 6% SDS page. After transferring to PVDF membrane, Pol II was probed with antibody against total Pol II (clone N20, Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX), Pol II CTD P-ser2 phosphorylation clone H5 (abcam, Cambridge, UK), and Pol II CTD P-ser5 phosphorylation (abcam). For detecting IL-1B expression, 100 μl culture medium from each time points and treatments were collected and the antigen was detected with a rabbit anti-grouper IL-1β antibody prepared in-house [15 (link)]. The results of the ELISA assay were acquired using a Varioskan Flash spectral scanning multimode plate reader (ThermoScientific).
