Western blotting was performed from neonatal rat cardiomyocytes using standard procedures. Antibodies used were METTL3 (Bethyl Laboratories), MAP3K6 (Novus Biologicals), MAP4K5 (Thermo Scientific Pierce), MAPK14 (Cell Signaling Technology) and GAPDH (Fitzgerald Industries). Masson’s trichrome staining was performed from histological sections generated from paraffin-embedded hearts. Immunostaining was performed using α-Actinin antibodies (Sigma Aldrich) and cell area was quantified using CellProfiler following published methods.24 (link) Detection of the cell membrane was performed using FITC-conjugated Wheat Germ Agglutinin (Sigma Aldrich). Cross-sectional area was measured using ImageJ. RNA was extracted from neonatal rat cardiomyocytes or mouse hearts using Trizol and reverse transcription was performed using the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription kit (Applied Biosystems). Selected genes and m6A peaks were analyzed by real-time PCR using SYBR green (Applied Biosystems). Quantified mRNA expression was normalized to Rpl7 (Ribosomal Protein L7), and expressed relative to controls.

Ten micrograms of protein from each sample
was mixed with 5× Laemmli buffer with 5% β-mercaptoethanol,
heated for 5 min at 100 °C, and separated on 10% sodium dodecyl
sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels. Following electrophoresis,
the proteins were transferred to Immobilon-P transfer membranes (Sigma-Aldrich)
using the Trans-Blot TurboTM Transfer System (Bio-Rad Laboratories).
Membranes were visualized with Ponceau Red (FlukaTM Analytical). Membranes
were probed with the following antibodies purchased from Cell Signaling
Technology: MAPKAPK3 (#7421), MAPK14 (#9218), Thr180/Tyr182-P-p38
MAPK (#4511), and anti-rabbit IgG-HRP (#7074). GAPDH (sc-47,724) was
purchased from Santa Cruz. The Amersham Imager 600 digital imaging
system (GE Healthcare) was used for image acquisition and Quantity
One v4.6.3 (Bio-Rad Laboratories) for band densitometry. All western
blots are presented as cropped images, with full scans of blots provided
in Figure S4.

CD14+PBMCs were lysed on ice using RIPA (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) containing PMSF and protease inhibitors (Roche Diagnostics GmbH). Protein concentration was determined by a BCA kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Proteins (20 µg per lane) were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto PVDF membranes (EMD Millipore). Membranes were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) at room temperature for 1 h and were incubated with primary antibodies against GAPDH (1:1,000; cat. no. 5174; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), MAPK14 (1:1,000; cat. no. 8690; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), TRAP (1:1,000; cat. no. ab65854; Abcam), NFATC1 (1:1,000; cat. no. ab25916; Abcam), CTSK (1:1,000; cat. no. ab37259; Abcam), p-p65 (1:1,000; cat. no. 3033; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) and p65 (1:1,000; cat. no. 8242; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) at 4˚C overnight. Membranes were then incubated with anti-rabbit (1:2,000; cat. no. 7074) or anti-mouse HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (1:2,000; cat. no. 7076; both from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) at room temperature for 1 h. Enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.) was used to detect the signal on the membrane. Densitometry analysis was performed using Image J software (v1.50; National Institutes of Health).

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.
