Cells (1X106 cells) were lysed in RIPA buffer (Beyotime, Beijing, China), and the protein samples were segregated using SDS-PAGE. The samples were transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes, and the membranes were blocked in 5% skim milk. Membranes were incubated with primary antibodies: anti-WDR62 and anti-β-actin (1:2000), anti-p-DNA-PK (DNA-dependent protein kinase) and anti-Rad51 (1:2500), anti-p-ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) and anti-ERK (1:3000), anti-p-JNK and anti-JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) (1:3500), anti-p-p38 and anti-p38 (1:4000). The membranes were then incubated with secondary antibodies (1:4500), and subjected to chemiluminescence reagent kit (Beyotime) according to previous study [15 (link)]. All the antibodies were purchased from Abcam.
