The protein of tissues and cells were extracted via RIPA lysis (Beyotime). The concentration of protein was measured using BCA kits (Beyotime). Following, the protein was separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and were transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. After blocking, the membranes were incubated with the primary antibodies (ADAM8, 1:1,000, Proteintech; α-SMA, 1:1,000, Affinity; FSP1, 1:1,000, Affinity; VE-cadherin, 1:1,000, ABclonal, Wuhan, China; TGF-β1, 1:1,000, ABclonal; Smad2, 1:1,000, Affinity; p-Smad2, 1:1,000, Affinity; Smad3, 1:1,000, ABclonal; p-Smad3, 1:1,000, ABclonal) at 4°C overnight. The membrane was washed using PBS following incubation with corresponding secondary antibodies. The image was analyzed by Gel-Pro Analyzer (Media Cybernetics, Bethesda, MD, USA).

The collected lung tissues were cut into small pieces and grinded to obtain cell suspension. Subsequently, CD45 and CD31+ PMVECs selected by the CD45 and CD31 magnetic beads (Miltenyi Biotec, Gladbach, Germany; 10 μL beads/107 cells) were inoculated onto Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium/Nutrient Mixture F-12 (DMEM/F12) medium (Biosharp, Hefei, China) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) in 5% CO2 at 37℃. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of CD31 and vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) in the PMVECs. Briefly, the PMVECs were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Sinoreagent, Shanghai, China) and permeabilized in 0.1% Triton X-100 (Beyotime Biotech, Shanghai, China). The PMVECs were incubated with anti-rabbit CD31 (1:100; Abclonal, Shanghai, China) and VE-cadherin (Abclonal, Shanghai, China) at 4℃ overnight. Then, the cells were incubated with Cy3-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) at room temperature for one hour. 2-(4-amidinophenyl) 6-indolecarbamidine dihydrochloride (DAPI; Aladdin, Shanghai, China) was used for counterstaining nuclei. The images were captured using a fluorescence microscope (Olympus, Japan).

Total protein samples were extracted from tissues or cells using the same procedure previously described [36 (link)]. Briefly, heart tissues or cardiomyocytes were lysed by RIPA buffer. After centrifugation, the supernatant was collected. Protein extracts were mixed with SDS‐PAGE. After electrophoresis, the protein transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Then, the membranes were blocked and incubated with the primary antibodies: BNP (1:1000, ABclonal, China), β-MHC (1:1000, ABclonal, China), Caspase-1 (1:1000, GeneTex, USA), Nrf2 (1:1000, Proteintech, China),HO-1 (1:1000, Wanleibio, China),NLRP3 (1:1000, ABclonal, China),Gasdermin-D (ABclonal, China), USP14 (1:1000, Proteintech, China), Snail (1:1000, Proteintech, China),Twist (1:1000, Proteintech, China),Slug (1:1000, ABclonal, China), CD31 (1:1000, ABclonal, China), VE-cadherin (1:1000, ABclonal, China), α-SMA (1:1000, BOSTER, China), Keap1 (1:1000, Proteintech, China), type I collagen (1:1000, ABclonal, China), type Ⅲ collagen (1:1000, affinity, USA).

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.
