“…The protein from tumor cells and tissues was extracted utilizing RIPA lysis buffer (strong) (K1020, APE×Bio, USA). Subsequently, western blotting was carried out following established procedures [27], using specific antibodies for MCT1 (1:10000, ProteinTech, 20139-1-AP), AMPKα (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology, #5831), phospho-AMPKα (Thr172) (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology, #50081), S6 ribosomal protein recombinant antibody (1:5000, ProteinTech, 80208-1-RR), phospho-S6 Ribosomal Protein (Ser240/244) (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology, #5364), mTOR (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology, #2983), phospho-mTOR (Ser2481) (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology, #2974), β-tubulin (1:5000, Protein-Find, HC101-01), and GAPDH (1:10000, ProteinTech, 10494-1-AP). The bound antibodies were subsequently detected by incubating membranes with HRP-conjugated Affinipure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG(H+L) (1:10000, Protein-Tech, SA00001-2) or HRP-conjugated Affinipure Goat Anti-Mouse IgG(H+L) (1:10000, ProteinTech, SA00001-1) for 1 hour, followed by 3 rounds of 10-minute washing in TBS-0.1% Tween-20.…”
