Western blotting was used to measure the apelin, APJ, Bcl-2, and Bax expression levels in the left ventricular tissues. The frozen tissues were weighed and homogenized in RIPA lysis buffer. Protein levels in the supernatant were determined using the Bradford method (21 (link)). Thereafter, 40 µg of protein was subjected to SDS-PAGE with 10% separation and transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane for 3 h at 200 mA. The membranes were blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin for 1 h. Subsequently, primary antibodies for apelin (ab125213, dilution, 1:500; Abcam,
Cambridge, United Kingdom), APJ (ab214369, dilution, 1:500; Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom), Bcl-2 (ab59348, dilution, 1:500; Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom), and Bax (ab53154, dilution, 1:500; Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom) were added, followed by overnight incubation at 4°C. After washing twice with TBS, membranes were incubated with the respective secondary antibodies (dilution, 1:10,000; Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Finally, protein band intensities were quantified using a densitometer analysis system (Quantity One software, Bio-Rad, PA, USA).

Western blotting was performed as previously described [23] . Primary antibodies used were as collagen 1 (ab34710, Abcam, 1:500), periostin (sc-398,631, Santa Cruz, 1:500), apelin receptor (ab214369, Abcam, 1:500) and GAPDH (MAB374, Merck, 1:100,000). Secondary antibodies were from Life Technologies (Alexa Fluor A11371, A21058, and A21076) with 1:5000 dilution. Quantifications are shown as relative to loading control (GAPDH).

Immunofluorescence Staining for Apelin and APJ

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All specimens were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA), washed with PBS, permeabilized with 1% Triton-X 100 in PBS for 10 min, blocked with 1% BSA for 1 h at room temperature, and then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4℃. Specimens were then incubated with the fluorescent secondary antibodies and DAPI J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f
(1:1000, D9542, Sigma) for 1 h in the dark at room temperature. The specimens were analyzed using a confocal microscope (LEICA TCS SP8). The primary antibodies used in immunofluorescence staining were as the follows: rabbit anti-Apelin (1:800, ab59469, Abcam), rabbit anti-APJ (1:800, ab214369, Abcam), mouse anti-myosin7α
(1:1000, DSHB), and rabbit anti-cleaved caspase-3 (1:1000, 9664S, Cell Signaling Technology).

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.
