Pluripotent stem cells or differentiated cardiomyocytes were grown on coverslips and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 10 min, then blocked with 5% goat serum in PBS and 0.1% Tween 20 for one hr at room temperature. Fixed cells were stained with SSEA4 antibody (clone MC-813–70, R&D systems), OCT3/4 antibody (sc-9081, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), NANOG antibody (sc-33759, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), TRA-1–60 antibody (MAB4360, Millipore), Hoechst 33342 (Life Technologies), cardiac troponin T antibody (ab45932, Abcam), cardiac myosin antibody (MA1–83347, Thermo Fisher), or alpha-actinin antibody (ab18061, Abcam) at 4°C overnight. The sections were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 or 594 secondary antibodies (Life Technologies) to visualize the specific stains. Image acquisition was performed on an Eclipse 80i fluorescent microscope (Nikon instruments, New York, USA), Keyence BZ-X700 (Keyence Corporation, Osaka, Japan), or confocal microscope (Zeiss LSM 710).

Protein Extraction and Western Blot Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
According to previous studies, total protein was extracted from rat myocardial tissue and cultured cardiac cells with RIPA lysis buffer supplemented by a protease inhibitor cocktail (Complete, Roche). After quantification using the BCA kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, China), the equal amount of protein samples were separated by SDS-PAGE and then transferred to the PVDF membrane. The membranes were blocked with nonfat milk in 1X TBST for 1 hour at room temperature and then incubated with the primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. The next day, the membranes were washed using 1 X TBST for 3 × 5 min, and then, the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies (at an optimized concentration) for 1-2 hours at room temperature. Finally, an image analyzer (Bio-Rad) was used to detect and evaluate the band density on the film. The primary antibodies include against RIP3 (PRS2283, Sigma), β-MHC (MA1-83347, ThermoFisher Scientific), ANP (PA5-29559, ThermoFisher Scientific), MLKL, ZO-1 (40-2300, ThermoFisher Scientific), GAPDH (PA1-987, ThermoFisher Scientific), and ACTIN (ab6276, Abcam). The secondary antibody used including goat anti-rabbit IgG and goat anti-mouse IgG was purchased from Abcam (ab6789, ab205718, Abcam).

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.
