Immunoblotting was performed as previously described [16 (link), 18 (link)]. Primary antibodies were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology: α tubulin, 1:10000, sc-23948; BiP, 1:1000, sc-13968; XBP1, 1:1000, sc-7160; Akt, 1:5000, sc-8312; Cell Signaling Technology: pAkt, 1:5000, S473 or Abcam: IRE, 1:2000, ab37073; pIRE, 1:1000, ab48187; TNFα 1:5000 ab66579. Chemiluminescence was performed with Luminata Forte Western HRP Substrate (Millipore) and detected using Chemidoc MP Imaging system. Protein expression was quantified using ImageLab 5.1 software.
