The HaCat cells cultured with or without naringin were harvested and total cell protein was extracted using whole cell lysis buffer. The protein concentrations were determined by the Bradford method (Bio-Rad, CA, USA). Samples with an equal amount of protein were subjected to 8–15% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) membrane. The membrane was incubated at room temperature in blocking solution (5% nonfat milk) for 1 h followed by incubation for 2 h in blocking solution containing an appropriate dilution of anti-MMP2 (ab86607, abcam), MMP-9 (ab76003, abcam), MMP-14 (ab51074, abcam), TIMP-1 (MAB3300, millipore), TIMP-2 (ab180630, abcam), VEGF-A (ab46154, abcam), VEGF-B(ab185696, abcam), VEGF-C (ab191274, abcam), VEGF-D (ab155288, abcam), VEGF-R1(ab32152, abcam), VEGF-R2 (9698, cell Signaling), VEGF-R3 (2485, cell Signaling), and β actin (E-AB-20058, Elabscience). After washing, blots were then probed with appropriate secondary horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA) and detected by an ECL detection system (Millipore). β-actin served as internal control.

Immunohistochemical analysis of heart tissue

Heart tissues were immersion-fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. Serial transverse sections (5 mm) were cut across the entire long axis of the heart and mounted on slides. After dewaxing, hydration and heat-induced antigen retrieval, heart specimens were incubated in a blocking buffer (PBS containing 5% goat serum and 0.1%Triton X-100) at room temperature for 1 h. Incubations in antibodies (diluted 1:250 in blocking buffer) were carried out at 4°C overnight for primary antibodies, and room temperature for 2 h for secondary antibodies. The primary antibodies used were: mouse antirat ɑ-SMA (sc-130616; 1:100, Santa Cruz), rabbit anti-rat VAChT (No.139 103; 1:250; Synaptic Systems); rabbit anti-rat CD31 (1:250; Abcam), rabbit-anti-rat VEGF-B (ab185696; 1:200; Abcam) and rabbit-anti-rat VEGF-A (ab46154; 1:200; Abcam). The secondary antibodies were horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG, goat-anti-rabbit IgG, FITC-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG, or TRITC-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch), respectively [20, 26] .

VEGFB (Ab185696; 1:500; Abcam), VEGF (Ab46154, 1:1,000; Abcam), CXCL1 (Santa, Sc-130316, 1:200), CXCL2 (Abcam, Ab139115, 1:100), CXCR2 (Abcam, Ab65968, 1:200; Abcam), TNFRSF10C (Sc-26462, 1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA), p38 (9212; 1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA), phosphorylated (p)-p38 (9211; 1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK)1/2 (4695; 1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), p-ERK1/2 (4376; 1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) and GAPDH (5174; 1:1,500; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) were diluted and added to blocking buffer (Merck KGaA), followed by incubation at 4˚C for 12 h. The membrane was subsequently incubated with Goat anti-rabbit (A0208; 1:1,000; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China) and anti-mouse (A0216; 1:1,000; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) secondary antibodies tagged with horseradish peroxidase at 37˚C for 1 h. The image was develo ped using enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (Merck KGaA) and Tanon-5200 (Tanon Science and Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China).

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.
