We used the following primary antibodies: anti-phospho-IKKβ (#2697, 1:1000), anti-NF-κB-p65 (#8242, 1:1000), anti-phospho-NF-κB-p65 (#3033, 1:1000), anti-Akt (#4691, 1:1000), anti-phospho-Akt (Ser473, #2859, 1:1000), anti-phospho-GSK3β (#5558, 1:1000), anti-AMPKα (#5831, 1:1000), anti-phospho-AMPKα (#2535, 1:1000), anti-Col1a1 (#72026, 1:1000), and anti-α-SMA (#19245, 1:1000) from Cell Signaling Technology; anti-IKKβ (#ab124957, 1:1000) from Abcam; anti-GSK3β (#22104-1-AP, 1:1000), anti-FASN (#10624-2-AP, 1:1000), anti-ACLY (#67166-1-Ig, 1:1000), anti-PPARγ (#16643-1-AP, 1:500), anti-LKB1 (#10746-1-AP, 1:500), anti-GAPDH (#60004-1-Ig, 1:2000), and anti-HRP-coupled secondary antibody (#SA00001-1 or #SA00001-2, 1:5000) from Proteintech; anti-Ac-Lys (#sc-32268, 1:100) from Santa Cruz Biotechnology; and anti-SREBF1 (#557036, 1:1000) from BD Biosciences.
After overnight incubation with the primary antibodies at 4°C, the membranes were incubated with the HRP-coupled secondary antibody. We detected the protein bands using the Tanon chemiluminescent substrate system (Tanon).
