Cardiomyocyte encapsulating hydrogels were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min at RT and washed with PBS. Gels were blocked in 1% BSA (Sigma) and permeabilized with 0.3% Triton-X 100 (Sigma) for min 2 h at RT. Cells were stained with mouse anti-α-actinin (sarcomeric; A7811, Sigma) and rabbit anti-GATA-4 (ab5245, Abcam) for overnight at 4 °C. Samples were washed and stained for secondary goat anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 488 and goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 568 antibodies (Life Technologies) for 2 h at RT. Actin cytoskeleton was visualized with Alexa Fluor 647 phalloidin (Life Technologies) and DAPI was used as nuclear counter staining. After washing, hydrogels were visualized with Leica SP8 X inverted confocal microscope (Leica).

Cardiomyocyte encapsulating hydrogels were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 minutes at room temperature (RT) and washed with PBS. Gels were blocked in 1% BSA (Sigma) and permeabilized with 0.3% Triton-X 100 (Sigma) for min 2h at RT. Cells were stained with mouse anti-α-actinin (sarcomeric) (A7811, Sigma) and rabbit anti-GATA-4 (ab5245, Abcam) for overnight at 4°C.

For GATA4, pGATA4 and BNP thirty μg and for MEF2C hundred μg of total protein from heart tissue was lysed in EBC + urea buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP-40, 3 M urea) resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membrane, blotted, and probed with the following primary antibodies: anti-GATA4 pSer105 (1:600 ab5245, Abcam), anti-GATA4 (1:1000 sc-9053, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-BNP (1:500 ab236101, Abcam), anti-vinculin (1:200 V4505, Merck) and anti-MEF2C (1:7500 sc-313×, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) followed by a HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (1:5000; Bio-Rad). For blotting of HIF1α and HIF-P4H-2 hundred ug of total protein from heart tissue lysed using EBC + urea lysis buffer and was resolved by SDS-PAGE, transferred with nitrocellulose membrane, blotted and probed with anti-HIF1α (1:500, NB100-479 Novus Biologicals) and anti-HIF-P4H-2 (1:500, Novus Biologicals NB100-2219)primary antibodies followed by HRP-conjugated secondary antibody. The Pierce ECL system (Ther-moScientific) was used for detection. Western blot images were quantified with fiji (ImageJ) software. For original blots see (Supplementary Fig. S1-S8).

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.
