Total proteins were extracted from the spleens and ankle joints of mice or from in vitro cultured CD4+ T cells and Th17 cells. Briefly, tissues or cells were homogenized in lysis buffer, which contained 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% NP-40, 0.5% deoxycholic acid, 0.1% SDS, and 10 μl/ml protease inhibitor. By centrifuging at 4°C at 12,000 rpm for 15 min, the supernatants were obtained. The proteins were separated and transferred to membranes according to our previous description [7 (link)]. After blocking nonspecific binding, the membranes were incubated with rabbit antibodies against β2-AR (1: 200; Abcam, UK), ROR-γt (1: 500; Abcam, UK), IL-17 (1: 200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), IL-22 (1: 200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), PKA (1: 200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), or mouse anti-β-actin antibody (1: 5000; Sigma, USA) at 4°C overnight. Following incubation with the corresponding secondary antibodies (1: 5,000; Rockland Immunochemicals, USA), the membranes were visualized using Odyssey laser scanning system (LI-COR Inc, USA), and the protein band intensities were quantified by an image analysis system (Odyssey 3.0 software).

Total protein was extracted with the procedures as described [41 ]. Briefly, Protein samples (80-100 μg) were separated by 10% acrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and then transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. The membranes were blocked with 5% defatted milk for 2-3 h at room temperature on a rocker and then incubated with primary antibodies β2-AR (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, UK) and beta-actin (Proteintech, Wuhan, China) at 4°C overnight. After washing with PBS-T (PBS containing 0.5% Tween 20) for 3 times, the membranes were incubated with infrared fluorescent dye-labeled secondary antibody (LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, USA) for 50 min at room temperature away from light. Western blot bands were acquired using Odyssey infrared scanning system (LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, USA) and analyzed using Image Studio Ver 4.0 software.

The DG was extracted from the region between -1.55 mm and -2.79 mm posterior to bregma. The dissected tissue samples that were isolated using tissue punches (0.75 mm diameter) were pooled (2 to 3 samples). Subcellular fraction and western blot were described in a previous publication by our group26 (link). Anti-p-ERK1/2 (1:1,000) and anti-TRX-1 (1:1,000) were purchased from Cell Signaling Tech. Inc. (Danvers, MA, USA). β1-AR (1:500) and β2-AR (1:500) were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). Anti-class III beta-tubulin (anti-Tju1; 1:500), anti-β-catenin (1:500), anti-β-actin, and anti-lamin B were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA).

Fixed frozen IH tissue sections and IH xenograft tissues were stained as previously described [34 (link)]. The antibodies included β1AR (1:400; Abcam, Cambridge, U.K., http://www.abcam.com) and β2AR (1:500; Abcam), CD133 (1:50; EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, http://www.emdmillipore.com), CD31 (1:50; Dako, Glostrup, Denmark, http://www.dako.com), and phosphorylated ERK1/2 (pERK1/2) (P-p44/42; 1:100; Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, http://www.cellsignal.com) and were detected with either Alexa Fluor 488 or 594 secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, http://www.invitrogen.com). From each IH xenograft, the number of activated ERK1/2-positive cells was determined and divided by the total number of cells from three representative high-power fields (HPFs).

Proteins were extracted from myocardial apexes (n = 4 hearts/group), treated with reducing agents, denatured at 100°C, and separated by gel electrophoresis as previously described (Hou et al., 2018 (link)). Next, the proteins were transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes, blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin, and incubated in the following primary antibodies at 4°C overnight; ANP (1:1,000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, United States; sc-515701), BNP (1:1,000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology; sc-271185), β2AR (1:1,000, Abcam; ab182136), GAPDH (1:4,000, Proteintech, Manchester, United Kingdom; 10494-1-AP). Visualizations of immunoblots were done with enhanced chemiluminescence (Tanon, Shanghai, China). The protein bands were quantified and evaluated by the relative expressions with their GAPDH.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
