Western blotting was performed as previously described [12 (link)]. Antibodies against MMP-9 (polyclonal antibody, Dako, Trappes. France), MMP-3 (clone 552A4, Oncogene research Product, Boston, Mass) and TIMP-1 (clone 7-6C1; Oncogene Research Products) were used.
Tspan8 was detected using a mouse monoclonal anti-Tspan8 antibody (TS29 clone [12 (link),18 (link),19 (link),20 (link),21 (link)]. Western blot quantifications were performed using ImageJ software. At least three independent biological replicates were performed.
