Whole-cell lysates were homogenized in modified RIPA buffer14 (link) and assayed by immunoblot as previously described14 (link). The primary antibodies against FKBP51 (rabbit polyclonal; Novus Biological), FKBP51s13 (link) and CD274/PD-L1 (rabbit polyclonal; Novus Biological) were used diluted 1:2500. CD133 (rabbit polyclonal; Abcam; Cambridge, UK) was used diluted 1:1000. A further antibody Pdcd-1L1 (rabbit polyclonal, Santa Cruz Biotechnology; Santa Cruz, CA, USA) was used for PD-L1 detection at the 1:1000 dilution. Antibody against M2-Flag, caspase-7 and γ-Tubulin (mouse monoclonal; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) were used diluted 1:5000. Anti β-Actin-Peroxidase (mouse monoclonal; Sigma-Adrich) was used diluted 1:10000. Anti-phospho-Akt (Ser473), Akt1/2/3, phosphor-S6 kinase, G3PDH and Sox-2 (rabbit monoclonal; Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA) were used diluted 1:1000. Anti-p70S6 kinase (rabbit polyclonal; Santa Cruz) was used diluted 1:500.
