“…Immunoblot analysis of total or phosphorylated forms of ERK, p38 MAPK, JNK, and IjB-a, as well as of RAR-a, RAR-b, and RAR-c, was also performed as described previously. 20 In brief, cells were lysed in a solution containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 5 mM NaF, 1% Nonidet P-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 1 mM Na 3 VO 4 , and 1% protease inhibitor cocktail, and the cell lysates (10 lg protein) were subjected to immunoblot analysis.…”
