Western blotting analysis of total protein in cell lysates from cultured rat and/or human CCA cell lines was carried out as previously described,17 (link),20 (link) with the following primary Abs purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA): S1PR2 (H64); S1PR3 (H70); ERK1 (C16); ERK-2 (C-14); p-ERK (E-4); Akt1/2/3/ (H-136); and p-Akt1/2/3/ (ser473). S1PR1 (Ab23695) was purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA). Protein bands were normalized against β-actin and detected with mouse monoclonal anti-actin Ab (ACTN05) from Thermo Scientific (Wilmington, DE).
