Scar and LV tissue were dissected from AMI, CHF, and sham hearts, respectively. Dissected tissues and isolated cells were homogenized in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris- HCl pH7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP-40 (Sigma), 0.5% Triton-X (Sigma), 1 mM EDTA (Sigma), and complete mini protease inhibitor (Roche). Protein concentrations were determined by BCA assay (Thermo Scientific). Typically, 40 μg of protein was loaded on 4% to 12% Tris-Bis gels (Life Technologies), separated in MOPS running buffer, and transferred to a PVDF membrane (Millipore). After blocking with 5% non-fat dry milk in 1× TBS, membranes were probed with HDAC1, HDAC2 (Abcam, 1:1,000), α-SMA (Sigma, 1:5,000), E-cadherin, GSK3β (Santa Cruz, 1:500), p-GSK3β, Cleaved Caspase 3, p-Akt, Akt (Cell Signaling, 1:1,000), β-Catenin active (Millipore,1:1,000), and β-Actin (Sigma, 1:50,000) in TBS with 5% milk overnight at 4°C.

The following day, samples were incubated at room temperature for 30 min. with secondary antibody, 1:100 Donkey anti-mouse (Jackson ImmunoResearch #715-035-150) or Donkey anti-rabbit (Jackson ImmunoResearch #711-005-152), followed by three washes in Digitonin wash buffer. CUTANA pAG-MNase was then incubated with samples for 10 min at room temperature and then the MNase reaction was performed for 2 h at 4 °C on a nutator. Libraries were generated using NEBNext Ultra II DNA Library Prep Kit with 14 PCR cycles and cleaned up to remove adapters using AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter) or SparQ PureMag beads (QuantaBio). Samples were sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 500 instrument using PEx75 to a depth of depth of 3–5 million reads. Peaks were called using MACS79 (link).

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.
