Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Millipore-Sigma, St. Louis, MO) for 20 min and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 20 min at room temperature for nuclear markers. Cell fixation and permeabilization for cytoskeletal markers was done with cold (−20°C) methanol for 3–5 min. Samples were washed three times (5 min each time) with PBS between each step and blocked with 3% normal donkey serum (NDS; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA) in PBS for 30 min. Samples were incubated at 4°C with primary antibodies for: cardiac troponin T (TNNT2; rabbit; ab45932; Abcam, Cambridge, MA), α-actinin (ACTN1; mouse; sc-15335) and GATA4 (rabbit; sc-9053; both from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX). Incubation with secondary antibodies was performed at room temperature for 1 h with donkey anti-rabbit or anti-mouse antibodies conjugated to DyLight 488 or 549 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Inc., West Grove, PA). Nuclear DNA was stained with DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Controls were stained with IgG instead of with a primary antibody. Immunostaining was visualized with a Leica TCS SPE confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems Inc., Buffalo Grove, IL).

The basal transversal mid‐section of the LV was dissected and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Next, the tissues were processed for total and nuclear protein extractions, as previously described.30, 33 Equal amounts of protein were loaded onto 10% SDS‐PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Primary antibodies against total GATA4 (sc‐9053, Santa Cruz), phosphorylated GATA4 at S105 (44‐948, Invitrogen, CA, USA) and Lamin B (sc‐6216, Santa Cruz) were used according to the manufacturers’ instructions and detected with fluorescent secondary antibodies: anti‐rabbit and antimouse IgG Alexa Fluor 680 (A21076 and A21058, Invitrogen), anti‐rabbit IgG IRDye 800 (926‐32211, LI‐COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA) and anti‐goat IRDye 700 (605‐730‐125, Rockland). Protein levels were visualized with Odyssey Fc imaging system (LI‐COR Biosciences).

For GATA4, pGATA4 and BNP thirty μg and for MEF2C hundred μg of total protein from heart tissue was lysed in EBC + urea buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP-40, 3 M urea) resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membrane, blotted, and probed with the following primary antibodies: anti-GATA4 pSer105 (1:600 ab5245, Abcam), anti-GATA4 (1:1000 sc-9053, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-BNP (1:500 ab236101, Abcam), anti-vinculin (1:200 V4505, Merck) and anti-MEF2C (1:7500 sc-313×, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) followed by a HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (1:5000; Bio-Rad). For blotting of HIF1α and HIF-P4H-2 hundred ug of total protein from heart tissue lysed using EBC + urea lysis buffer and was resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred with nitrocellulose membrane, blotted and probed with anti-HIF1α (1:500, NB100-479 Novus Biologicals) and anti-HIF-P4H-2 (1:500, Novus Biologicals NB100-2219)primary antibodies followed by HRP-conjugated secondary antibody. The Pierce ECL system (Ther-moScientific) was used for detection. Western blot images were quantified with fiji (ImageJ) software. For original blots see (Supplementary Fig. S1-S8).

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.
