“…HCT116 and SW480 colon cancer cells were treated with MMPP (0-15 μg/mL) for 24 h, then were homogenized with a protein extraction solution (PRO-PREP™, iNtRON Biotechnology, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, Korea), and lysed by 60 min incubation on ice. Western blotting was described elsewhere [ 36 ]. After a short washing in TBST, the membranes were immunoblotted with the following primary antibodies: caspase-3 and caspase-8 (1:1000 dilutions; Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA) and Fas, DR3, DR4, DR5, DR6, IKKβ, p-IKKβ, IκBα, p-IκBα, p50, p65, Bcl-2, Bax, Histone-H1 and β-actin (1:1000 dilutions; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA).…”
