Publication protocol
Cells were harvested at 80% confluence into radio-immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer containing protease inhibitors (Roche Diagnostics, Germany). The cellular debris was pelleted by centrifugation (20,000 ×g for 5 min) and protein concentration quantified using the Lowry protein assay. Equal quantities of protein (20 μg) heat-denatured in the presence of 0.03% v/v β-mercaptoethanol and 1X NuPAGE LDS Sample Buffer (Fisher Scientific, Loughborough, UK) in a total of 30 μl was loaded onto a NuPAGE Novex 4–12% gradient Bis-Tris gel (Fisher Scientific, Loughborough, UK) and separated by electrophoresis. Western blotting was performed by transfer of the separated proteins by electroblot to a (0.22 μm) PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) membrane (BioRad, Hemel Hempstead, UK), the membrane was blocked using 2.5% w/v BSA in PBS − 0.05% v/v Tween-20 for 30 min.
Protein expression levels were confirmed using primary anti-HER2/Neu mouse monoclonal antibody (Santa Cruz; Dallas, Texas, US sc-08, 1:500 dilution in 1% w/v BSA-Tween) and anti-EGFR mouse monoclonal antibody (Santa Cruz; Dallas, Texas, US, sc-374607 1:1000 dilution in 1% w/v BSA-Tween) followed by goat anti-mouse horseradish peroxidase conjugated antibody (Santa Cruz Dallas, Texas, US sc-2005; 1:2500 dilution in 1% v/v BSA-Tween) at room temperature. The HRP reaction was detected using ClarityTM Western ECL substrate and visualised using ChemiDoc XRS with Image Lab software (Bio-Rad, Hemel Hempstead, UK).
