The atrium tissue samples were fixed and sectioned for analysis as previously described.31 The atrium tissue sections were incubated with anti‐PU.1 (1:100; Abcam), anti‐PCNA (5 μg/mL; Abcam) and anti‐α‐SMA (1:50; Cell Signaling Technology) primary antibodies at 4℃ overnight, followed by incubation with a fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)–conjugated secondary antibody (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology) and visualization with an Olympus BX51 microscope (Olympus Corporation).
For immunofluorescence assays of the atrial fibroblasts, the cells were washed with phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min, followed by permeabilization with 0.1% Triton X‐100 in PBS. The cells were then added to coverslips with a syringe, and the coverslips were blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin for 30 min and then incubated overnight with primary antibodies against PU.1 (1:100; Abcam), anti‐PCNA (5 μg/mL; Abcam) and anti‐α‐SMA (1:50; Cell Signaling Technology). The next day, the coverslips were incubated with a FITC‐conjugated secondary antibody for 1 h, and the nuclei were stained with 4′,6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole (DAPI) for 30 min. Cells were then imaged with an Olympus BX51 microscope.

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.
