Cells were disrupted by lysis buffer and protein content was determined using the BCA Protein Assay Kit. The quantified protein samples were then separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes, followed by sealing with 5% skim milk for 1 hour at room temperature. The PVDF membranes carrying the samples were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, and then with secondary antibody for 2 h at room temperature. The signal was displayed with an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). And, the protein expression levels were semi-quantified using Image-Pro Plus version 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, Inc.) software. The antibodies used in this study were purchased from Abcam and were used at the following concentrations: anti-Bcl-2 (1:1000), anti-Bax (1:1000), anti-cleaved caspase3 (1:100), anti-caspase3 (1:500), anti-PDE3B (1:2000), anti-p-AMPK (1:1000), anti-AMPK (1:1000), anti-p-mTOR (1:1000), anti-mTOR (1:10,000), anti-GAPDH (1:2500), and goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (1:2000).

The hepatic tissue was homogenized into cold lysis buffer and the lysate was centrifuged and the supernatant was collected in a fresh tube supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Himedia, India) and kept at −80 °C.32 The protein samples were heat denatured and separated by SDS-PAGE followed by electrotransfer to the nitrocellulose membrane. The membranes were blocked in blocking buffer and then exposed to specific primary antibodies diluted in the blocking buffer and kept overnight at 4 °C. The primary antibodies used were rabbit polyclonal anti-phospho AMPK, anti-AMPK, anti-IL-6 and anti-TNF-α (Abcam, USA). The next day membrane was washed and subjected to incubation for 1 h with anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) diluted in the same blocking buffer. After a series of washes, they were exposed with the chemiluminescent ECL substrates (Thermo Scientific, USA) and the desired protein bands were detected by chemiluminescent gel documentation system (Bio-Rad, USA). β-Actin was used as a housekeeping protein for equal amounts of protein loaded into the gel. The protein bands were densitometry quantified by Image J, software (NIH, USA) and data presented as arbitrary units.

After cells or tissues were lysed, we used a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Boster Bio, USA) to determine the protein concentration. Total protein was separated by SDS-PAGE. We used a constant current to transfer the separated protein to a PVDF membrane. 5% skim milk was applied to block non-specific reaction sites for 1-2 h. Dilute the primary antibody at the concentration recommended by the instructions, immerse the membrane in this liquid, and place at 4° C for at least 8 hours. The primary antibodies: anti-GAPDH (Proteintech, Wuhan, China), anti-p-ERK (CST), anti-ERK (CST), anti-NOX4 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-p-AMPK (Abcam), anti-AMPK (Abcam). Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies were diluted at the concentrations recommended by the instructions, and the membranes were incubated for 2h at room temperature. Enhanced chemiluminescence reagent was used to visualize the protein bands in an imaging densitometer (GE, USA).

Proteins (60 µg) extracted from aortas or VSMCs were separated by electrophoresis on
10% polyacrylamide gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Nonspecific
binding sites were blocked with 5% skim milk in Tris-buffered saline solution with
10% Tween for 1 h at 24°C. Membranes were then incubated with antibodies overnight at

(#8505) and anti-RhoA (#2117) (all 1:1000; Cell Signaling, USA, or BD Biosciences
Transduction Laboratories, USA) were used. Immunoblots for nonphosphoproteins were
carried out on the same membranes used to evaluate the phosphorylated (phospho-)
forms: phospho-MYPT-1 (Thr853), phospho-CPI-17 (Thr38),
phospho-MLC (Thr18/Ser19), and phospho-AMPK
(Thr172), (1:500; Cell Signaling, USA). After incubation with secondary

autoradiography, and quantified densitometrically. Results were normalized to
beta-actin protein (#A5316, 1:10000; Sigma-Aldrich, Inc., USA), or to the total form

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.
