Human atrial fibroblasts with and without the administration of Klotho (100 pM, 48 h) or U73122 (1 μM, 48 h) were homogenized and centrifuged in the buffer. We separated proteins electrophoretically on a polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with 4% to 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate and electrophoretically transferred them to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane that was equilibrated with sodium dodecyl sulfate as described previously [21 (link)]. We probed all blots with primary antibodies against procollagen type IA1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), procollagen type III (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), TRPC6 (Alomone Labs, Jerusalem, Israel), human PLC beta 3 (PLCβ3) (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), phospho-PLC beta 3 (Ser537) (pPLCβ3 Ser 537) (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA); secondary antibodies were all conjugated with horseradish peroxidase. All bound antibodies were detected with an enhanced chemiluminescence detection system and analyzed using AlphaEaseFCTM software (Genetic Technologies, Miami, FL, USA). All targeted bands were normalized to the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase protein (GAPDH) (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) to confirm equal protein loading.

The bilateral L4–L6 DRGs of rats were removed under sodium pentobarbital anesthesia (50 mg/kg dose, i.p.). Cytoplasm and nucleus protein of the DRGs were separated according to the manipulation of the NE-PER nuclear and cytoplasmic extraction reagents kit (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) (Nie et al., 2018 (link)). Briefly, the samples were homogenized on ice in a 15-mmol/L Tris buffer containing a cocktail of proteinase inhibitors and phosphatase inhibitors, and the concentration of protein was determined with a BCA protein assay (ThermoFisher Scientific). The protein samples were separated via gel electrophoresis and transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane.

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.
