Flash frozen powdered quadriceps and heart tissue, as well as isolated mitochondrial pellets from each tissue were
thawed on ice and homogenized in CelLytic M (Sigma-Aldrich; Cat# C2978) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail and 10
mM nicotinamide using a motor-drive Potter-Elvehjem tissue grinder. Samples were centrifuged at 14,000 × g for 10 min
at 4°C and the supernatant saved and frozen at −80°C until later analysis. Protein concentration was
determined via the BCA method and the samples were diluted in CelLytic M buffer. Forty micrograms of protein sample were
combined with 5× loading buffer and resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose, blocked for ~1 hr in 5%
milk prepared with TBS followed by western blotting with specific antibodies. Antibodies employed herein were: MCD

Following cellular treatment, protein extraction, quantification, and Western blot analysis were performed as previously described [26 (link), 28 , 29 (link)]. Briefly, cells were lysed using the mammalian cell lysis buffer CelLytic M (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA), and protein quantified using the bicinchoninic acid assay as we previously described [26 (link), 28 , 29 (link)]. Protein (35 µg) was fractionated in a 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. Membranes were blocked for 1 hour with SuperBlock T-20 (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA) and blotted for 2 hours or overnight with monoclonal antibodies to TLR3, claudin-5 (Abcam), JNK, phopho-JNK, c-Jun, phospho-c-Jun (all from Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). These primary antibodies were used at 1:1,000 dilutions. Membranes were then washed, blotted for 1 hour with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody, washed again, and visualized using the enhanced chemiluminescence (Pierce) and gel doc system (Syngene, Frederick, MD, USA). After each western blot experiment, membranes were stripped using the Restore Western Blot Stripping Buffer (Pierce) and re-blotted with β-actin antibody (Abcam) to confirm equal loading.

The open reading frames of full-length arrestin with C-terminal FLAG tag and full length rhodopsin with C-terminal HA tag were cloned into pcDNA6. Cysteine mutations (41 for arrestin and 51 for rhodopsin) were systematically introduced into arrestin and rhodopsin in these two DNA vectors. AD293 cells were split one day before transfection at 50,000 cells/well in a 24-well plate. Cells were grown for one day, then transfected with 100 ng rhodopsin constructs (pcDNA6-rho-3HA) plus 100 ng arrestin plasmid (pcDNA6-Arr-3FLAG) by Lipofectamine 2000 (DNA/Lipofectamine 2000 ratio of 1:2) in each well. Cells were grown for 2 days after transfection, and were then treated at room temperature with H2O2, which was freshly diluted in the cell culture medium to a final concentration of 1 mM. After 5 min treatment with H2O2, the medium was aspirated and 100 μl of CelLytic M (Sigma C2978) were added to each well and the plate was shaken for 10 min at room temperature. Cell lysates were transferred to 1.5 ml tubes and spun at 16,000 x g at 4 °C for 5 min. The supernatants (10 μl) were mixed with an equal volume of 2×SDS loading buffer (without reducing agents) for 5 min at room temperature, and loaded onto a protein gel for Western blot analysis. HRP-conjugated anti-FLAG (Sigma M2) and anti-HA (Sigma) antibodies were used to probe for free and cross-linked arrestin and rhodopsin proteins.

OCR, a measure of mitochondrial respiration, and ECAR, a measure of glycolysis, were determined using an XF96 extracellular flux analyzer (Seahorse Bioscience). Transfected 3T3-L1 cells were seeded in a 96-well XF96 cell culture microplate (Seahorse Bioscience) at a density of 7,000 cells per well in 200 μl of DMEM (4.5 g/l glucose) supplemented with 10% FBS (Sigma) 36 h before measurement. Six replicates per cell type were included in the experiments, and four wells were chosen evenly in the plate to correct for temperature variation. On the day of the assay, the growth medium was exchanged for assay medium (unbuffered DMEM with 4.5 g/l glucose). Oligomycin at a final concentration of 2.0 μM, FCCP (carbonyl cyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone) at 1.0 μM, 2-deoxyglucose at 100 mM, and rotenone at 15.0 μM were sequentially injected into each well in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol. Basal mitochondrial respiration, maximal respiration, ATP production, and basal glycolysis were determined according to the manufacturer’s instructions. At the conclusion of the assay, cells in the analysis plate were lysed using CelLytic M (Sigma). Protein concentration was measured using the Bradford assay59 (link) and used to normalize the bioenergetic profile data.
