Protein extraction from frozen prostate samples for Western blot analysis has previously been described [49 (link)]. Western blots were prepared using 15–20 µg of protein lysate, blocked with 5% BSA in 1 × TBS / 0.1% Tween-20 for 1 h and incubated at 4 °C overnight with primary antibodies against AR (1:1000, ab133273, Abcam), p16INK4A (1:2000, ab211542, Abcam), CDK4 (1:200, sc-260, Santa Cruz), p53 (1:1000, CST#2524, Cell Signaling), β-Actin (1:1000, CST#4967, Cell Signaling) and β-Tubulin (1:2000, CST#2146, Cell Signaling). Western blots were quantified using ImageJ2.
