To confirm the expression profiles of target genes, we quantified their protein levels using a classical WB assay. Firstly, the total proteins from in vitro cultured cells were extracted using a radioimmunoprecipitation assay kit (RIPA) (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) and quantified by the bicinchoninic acid assay kit (BCA) (Beyotime, China). Secondly, the qualified protein samples (~20 μg per sample) were loaded separately in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA). Thirdly, PVDF membranes containing total proteins were incubated with primary anti-rabbit myogenic differentiation 1 (MyoD) (1:1000) and myosin heavy chain (MyHC) (1:1000) (Abclonal, Wuhan, China) at 4 °C overnight, and secondary antibody IgG (1:2000) (Abclonal, China) for 2 h.

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.
