Protein samples were isolated from cell lysates (50 μg), and then mixed in reducing buffer, boiled, resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane by electroblotting. The blot was incubated overnight at 4 °C in a blocking solution with primary antibodies directed to the following antigens: GFAP, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), Wnt1 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), growth differentiation factor 3 (GDF3; Bioss, Woburn, MA, USA), Smad2/Smad3, phospho-Smad2/Smad3 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA). After the blots were washed with 0.1% Tween® 20 (Sigma-Aldrich) in 1 × PBS, they were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies corresponding to each primary antibody, then analyzed by enhanced chemiluminescence detection (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Pittsburgh, PA, USA). Quantification of protein band intensities in three independent experiments was performed, and the relative ratio under the constant reference β-actin was calculated.

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.
