Cells were seeded at 10 x 104 cells/well into 6-well plates and incubated in presence or absence of 10 ng/ml TGF-ß1 with or without terfenadine, ebastine, and solifenacin at 10 μM for 72h. Protein was isolated using RIPA buffer (Sigma Aldrich, UK). 20 μg of protein mixed with Li-Cor 4x protein loading buffer (Li-Cor, UK) and heat denaturated at 95°C under reducing conditions. Samples were then loaded onto Any kD Mini-PROTEAN® TGX Precast Protein Gels (Bio-Rad) along with a protein ladder (Bio-Rad). After gel electrophoresis, the separated protein was transferred onto a methanol-activated PVDF membrane (Millipore) by wet blotting at 350 mA for 1h. The membrane was washed and left to dry for 1h before being blocked with Li-Cor Intercept Blocking Buffer (Li-Cor) for 1h. The membranes were incubated overnight with primary antibodies (anti–α-SMA antibody, 1:3000 (Sigma-Aldrich); anti-fibronectin antibody, 1:1000 (ThermoFisher); anti-GAPDH, 1:10,000 (Abcam)) at 4°C on a shaker. Membranes were washed 4x with Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween 20 before incubation with secondary antibodies (Li-Cor, 1:10,000) for 1h on a shaker in darkness. This was followed by 4 washes with Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween 20. Blots were visualised using an infrared imaging system (Odyssey CLx imager; LI-COR) at 700 and 800 nm wavelengths simultaneously.

Piceatannol was purchased from Future Chem (Seoul, Korea). Anti-alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA; 1:1000, sc-130617), anti-CTGF (1:1000, sc-14939), anti-HDAC3 (1:1000, sc-11417), anti-HDAC4 (1:1000, sc-11418), anti-HDAC5 (1:1000, sc-133225), anti-TGF-β1 (1:1000, sc-146), anti-JNK (1:1000, sc-7345), anti-ERK1 (1:1000, sc-271269), and anti-GAPDH (1:1000, sc-32233) antibodies were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX, USA). Primary antibodies against collagen type I (1:1000, ab34710), HDAC2 (1:1000, ab12169), HDAC8 (1:1000, ab137474), and HDAC10 (1:1000, ab53096) were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA). Anti-fibronectin antibody (1:1000, MA5-11981) was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). Anti-HDAC1 antibody (1:1000, 06–720) was purchased from Merck Millipore (Darmstadt, Germany). Anti-HDAC6 (1:1000, 7612), anti-Smad3 (1:1000, 9523), anti-Smad2 (1:1000, 3103), anti-Smad4 (1:1000, 9515), anti-p-Smad3 (1:1000, 9520), anti-p-JNK (1:1000, 9251), anti-p-p38 (1:1000, 4511), anti-p-ERK1/2 (1:1000, 4370), and anti-p38 (1:1000, 8690) antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA).

Fibronectin Expression in VSMC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 5 days of differentiation, all VSMCs were seeded in N2B27 containing 10 ng/mL PDGF-BB at 40,000 cells/cm2 on gelatin-coated wells. After 24 h, the medium was changed to N2B27 with 10 ng/mL PDGF-BB supplemented with DMSO or 2.5 ng/mL TGF-β. After 24 h, cells were washed with PBS, then were harvested and cell lysates were prepared using the Pierce IP™ lysis buffer (cat # 87788, ThermoFisher) supplemented with Halt™ Protease & Phosphatase Single-Use Inhibitor Cocktail (100x, cat # 78442, ThermoFisher). 30 μg of total proteins for each sample were subjected to SDS-PAGE analysis on a 4%–12% NuPAGE™ Bis-Tris protein gel (cat # NP0321BOX, ThermoFisher). GAPDH was used as a loading control. The membrane was blocked in TBST (Thermo Scientific) containing 5% nonfat dried milk (Applygen) and subsequently incubated with anti-Fibronectin antibody (1:3000, MA5-11981, ThermoFisher) at 4 °C overnight. The membrane was washed three times with TBST for 10 min and incubated with an anti-mouse/rabbit IgG secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (IgG-HRP; 1:3000; Santa Cruz) for 1 h at room temperature. Then, the membrane was washed three times with TBST for 10 min and imaged using a gel imaging system (Tanon).

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.
