Tissues were harvested and resuspended in RIPA lysis buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 60 mM NaCl, 0.2% glycerol, 0.02% NP-40, 0.04 mM EDTA) supplemented with protease inhibitors. The suspension was then sonicated for 30 seconds and subsequently centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C. The protein concentration was measured using a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Solarbio). The total protein samples were separated on SDS-PAGE Gel and transferred to a PVDF membrane (Cytiva). Membranes were blocked for 2 hours at room temperature with blocking buffer and incubated overnight with specific primary antibodies at 4°C. The primary antibodies were anti-pro-IL-1β (Abclonal, A11370), anti-IL-6 (Abclonal, A0286), and anti-β-Tubulin (Abmart, M20005H). Bound primary antibodies were detected by HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies, donkey anti-Rabbit IgG (Cytiva, NA934V) and sheep anti-Mouse IgG (Cytiva, NA931V). Images were captured using an automated chemiluminescence imaging analysis system (Tanon).

Standard IHC staining was performed on 4-μm-thick paraffin sections of the membrane tissue for the expression of BMP-2, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), von Willebrand factor (vWF), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, and interleukin (IL)-6. After deparaffinization, heat-induced epitope retrieval was performed (95°C/30 min) in citrate buffer (pH = 6.0). Commercial antibodies were adapted for IHC analysis; these included anti-BMP-2 (polyclonal, 1:200; cat. no. A0231; ABclonal, MA, USA); anti-VEGF (polyclonal, 1:200; cat. no. A0280; ABclonal); anti-vWF (vWF Picoband antibody, 1:200; cat. no. PB9062; Boster Biological Technology, Pleasanton CA, USA); anti-TGF-β (polyclonal, 1:200; cat. no. A2561; ABclonal); and anti-IL-6 (polyclonal, 1:200; cat. no. A0286; ABclonal). Endogenous peroxidase was quenched in a 0.3% hydrogen peroxide and 50% methanol solution for 10 min, followed by rinsing in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). TAHC-04D (BioTnA, Taiwan) was employed as the signal detecting system.

The protein levels in maternal placenta and livers were determined by western blot analysis using anti-IL6, anti-TNF-α, anti-IL-1β, anti-PPARα, and anti-ACSL3 (all from ABclonal, Wuhan, China); anti-SCD1 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA); anti-SREBP1c (CST, Danvers, MA); and anti-FASN (CST, Danvers, MA) antibodies. Total proteins were extracted and subsequently separated by 8–12% SDS-PAGE gels. Proteins were transferred onto PVDF membranes and probed with corresponding antibodies overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with anti-mouse or anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) for 1 h at room temperature. The proteins were visualized by using a Western chemiluminescent HRP substrate (Millipore Corporation, United States).

Western blotting was performed as previously described (28 (link)). The protein concentrations of the synovial tissues or cells were determined using a BCA Protein Assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Proteins (30 µg) were separated by SDS-PAGE on a 10% gel and transferred to PVDF membranes (MilliporeSigma). The PVDF membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk for 2 h, followed by incubation with one of the following primary antibodies at 4°C overnight: Anti-MAGL (1:1,000, Abcam, cat. no. ab246902), anti-iNOS (1:1,000, ProteinTech Group, Inc., cat. no. 22226-1), anti-Arg1 (1:5,000, ProteinTech Group, Inc., cat. no. 16001-1), anti-TNF-α (1:1,000, ABclonal, cat. no. A20851), anti-IL-1β (1:1,000, ABclonal, cat. no. A16288), anti-IL-6 (1:1,000, ABclonal, cat. no. A11115), anti-PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) (1:1,000, ProteinTech Group, Inc., cat. no. 23274-1), anti-Parkin (1:1,000, ProteinTech Group, Inc., cat. no. 14060-1), or anti-β-actin (1:5,000, ProteinTech Group, Inc., cat. no. 81115-1). The following day, the membranes were washed and incubated with the secondary antibody (1:5,000, Abcam, cat. no. ab205718) for 2 h at room temperature. The proteins were detected using Pierce ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Thermo Fisher).

Human and mouse aortas or cultured SMCs were harvested and lysed using RIPA Lysis Buffer (Beyotime Biotechnology). Equal amount (15‐30 μg) of total protein was fractionated on 5%‐15% SDS‐polyacrylamide gel and transferred onto a PVDF membrane (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Then the blots were incubated with primary antibodies: anti‐GDF11 (1:1000, abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), anti‐ACTA2 (1:1000, Novus Biologicals), anti‐MMP‐2 (1:500, Proteintech, Rosemont, IL, USA), anti‐MMP‐9 (1:1000, Proteintech), anti‐MMP‐3, anti‐TNF‐α (1:500, ABclonal, Wuhan, China), anti‐IL‐6, anti‐p‐Smad‐2, and anti‐p‐Smad‐3 (1:1000, ABclonal) at 4°C overnight. The membranes were probed with species‐relevant HRP‐linked secondary antibodies (1:10 000, Proteintech) at 37°C for 40 minutes. Besides, housekeeping protein β‐actin (1:2000, Proteintech) was used as the internal control.

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.
