Total proteins were extracted from frozen LV tissue and cultured PVFs using RIPA lysis buffer. Proteins were quantified using a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). All sample proteins loaded equally (20 μg) were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes. Subsequently, the PVDF membrane was blocked with TBST containing 5% BSA for 1 h and incubated at 4°C overnight with a primary antibody. Then, the membrane was washed with TBST and incubated with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody for 1 h. The primary antibodies used were as follows: GAPDH (1 : 5000, 60004-1-Ig, Proteintech), CTGF (1 : 1000, sc-365970, Santa Cruz), α-SMA (1 : 1000, ab7817, Abcam), Col 1 (1 : 1000, ab34710, Abcam), Col 3 (1 : 1000, ab7778, Abcam), TGF-β1 (1 : 1000, ab215715, Abcam), TGFR-2 (1 : 1000, ab269279, Abcam), Smad2 (1 : 1000, ab33875, Abcam), Smad3 (1 : 1000, ab40854, Abcam), and phospho-Smad2/3 (1 : 1000, ab272332, Abcam).

Total protein was extracted from tissues and cells using RIPA lysis buffer (R0010, Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) supplemented with 1% phosphorylase inhibitor and 1% protease inhibitor, with the concentration determined using a BCA protein assay kit (GBCBIO Technologies Inc., Guangzhou, China). Next, the protein was separated with 10% SDS‐PAGE and transferred onto PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA). The membrane was blocked with TBST with 5% BSA at room temperature and probed overnight at 4°C with primary rabbit antibodies to TREM2 (1:1000, #61788, Cell Signaling Technologies, Beverly, MA), TGF‐β1 (1:800, ab215715, Abcam), Smad2/3 (1:500, ab236030, Abcam), p‐Smad2/3 (1:1500, ab272332, Abcam), DAT (1:200, ab128848, Abcam), TH (1:5000, ab137869, Abcam), and GAPDH (ab9485, 1:2500, Abcam) and then with secondary antibody goat anti‐rabbit IgG (1:10,000, ab97051, Abcam) at room temperature. ECL reagent was used to visualize the results by Image Quant LAS 4000C Gel Imager (GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI). ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health) was applied for band intensity quantification, with GAPDH as an internal reference.

The extraction of total protein was finished through the usage of RIPA buffer (Beyotime) and quantified through the usage of BCA Protein Quantification Kit (Vazyme). Then the proteins were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfonatepolyacrylamide gel (Solarbio) electrophoresis and blotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Amersham Biosciences, Chicago, IL, USA). Next, the membranes were blocked in 5% defatted milk for 1 h at indoor temperature and then cultivated with primary antibodies against RNF38 (ab121487; Abcam), Ki67 (ab16667; Abcam), Snail (ab53519; Abcam), E-cadherin (ab231303; Abcam), Smad2/3 (ab202445; Abcam), phospho-Smad2/3 (p-Smad2/3; ab272332; Abcam) and GAPDH (ab9485; Abcam) overnight at 4°C and secondary antibody (ab6789; Abcam) for 1.5 h at indoor temperature. The proteins were visualized with ECL reagent (Vazyme).

Totally 1 mM PMSF (P0100, Solarbio) was added to RIPA protein lysate (P0013C, Beyotime), and 100 μl mixed solution was added to each well of six-well plate for lysis. After 30 min, cell lysate was collected and centrifuged at 15000 g at 4 °C for 10 min to extract total protein. The total protein concentration was detected by BCA protein quantitative kit (P0012, Beyotime). After SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis, the protein was transferred to PVDF membrane (88585, Thermo Scientific) by semi-wet transfer method.

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.
