Assay Protocol

HepG2 hepatocellular cancer cells were seeded into the wells of 12-well plates. The cells were treated with reference PROTAC compound dBET6 for 8 hours. The cell lysates were subjected to Western blot analysis. The blots were probed with BRD4 antibody and α-Tubulin antibody. The membrane was scanned with LI-COR Odyssey Fc Imaging System. The specific bands of interest were quantified by LI-COR Image Studio Lite software. The IC50 curve was plotted and IC50 value was calculated using the GraphPad Prism program based on a sigmoidal dose-response equation.
