“…Western blotting and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) methods were well established in our laboratory, as described previously (Yang et al, 2013b;Tsuchiya et al, 2015). All antibodies used for Western blotting were as follows: cyclin D1 (Cell Signaling Technology), cyclin E1 (Cell Signaling Technology), cyclin A2 (Cell Signaling Technology), cyclin D3 (Cell Signaling Technology), cyclin H (Cell Signaling Technology), cyclin E2 (Cell Signaling Technology), CDK2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX), CDK4 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), b-actin (Cell Signaling Technology), glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Cell Signaling Technology), p21 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), Rb (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), pRB (Cell Signaling Technology), MyB (Millipore, Billerica, MA), glycogen synthase kinase-3b (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), SMAD4 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), and E2F1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific).…”
