Proteins were extracted from kidney and brain nuclei tissue samples, and separated using 10% SDS–PAGE. The protein expression levels of RAS components, catalase, NOX2, MCP-1, IL-6, fibronectin, and collagen I in the kidney cortex and specific brain nuclei were determined with anti-AGT (IBL), anti-ACE (Abcam), anti-ACE2 (Abcam), anti-Mas receptor (Alomone Labs), anti-NOX2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-catalase (Abcam), anti-MCP-1 (Abcam), anti-IL-6 (Abcam), anti-fibronectin (Sigma), anti-collagen I (BOSTER), and anti-β-actin (Cell Signaling Technology) primary antibodies. The membranes were then incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h, washed, and analyzed.

The atrial myocardium samples were weighed and treated with cold Radio-Immunoprecipitation Assay (RIPA) lysis buffer (1 ml/100 mg). The homogenized samples were centrifuged (12,000 rpm, 10 min, 4 °C) and a BCA protein assay kit (Yeason Biotech, Shanghai, China) was used to determine their protein concentrations. Loading buffer was added to diluted supernatants to adjust concentrations and volumes. Afterward, samples with equal protein content were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis on a 10% polyacrylamide gel, then transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Millipore, Boston, MA, USA). Next, the samples were blocked with blocking buffer containing 5% bovine serum albumin for 1 h at room temperature, followed by incubation with antibodies including anti-collagen I (Boster Biological Technology, Wuhan, China) and anti-collagen III (Boster Biological Technology, Wuhan, China), overnight at 4 °C, with anti-GAPDH used as an internal control. The membranes were rinsed 3 times for 10 min with TBST, followed by incubation with the secondary antibody for 1 h. The membranes were washed 3 times with TBST for 15 min. Then, the membranes were developed with chemiluminescence solution A and B mixed at a 1:1 ratio, along with the developing substrate. Image J software was used to calculate the relative optical density of the bands.

After culturing and incubation for 24 h, the cells were washed with PBS three times (2 min each) and then fixed with paraformaldehyde for 10 min. After being washed with PBS three times (2 min each), the cell membrane was permeabilized with Triton X-100 for 1–3 min and then washed again with PBS three times (2 min each). After blocking with 10% BSA for 30 min, the antibodies were incubated with anti-Kir2.1 (1:100; Abcam), anti-α-SMA (1:100; Boster), anti-collagen I (1:100; Boster), or anti-collagen III (1:100; Boster) antibodies at 4°C overnight. After 30 min of rewarming the next day, the corresponding fluorescein-labelled antibody was added and incubated for 2 h at 37°C. PBS was used to wash the cells three times (10 min each). DAPI was used to stain the nuclei for 10 min, and then cells were observed under a fluorescence microscope (Solarbio, Beijing, China), and images were captured. ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, USA) was used for fluorescence image analysis.

As we previously reported [15 (link)], the Masson triple staining and Western Blotting were done according to the protocols. For Masson staining, the sections were observed under a light microscope, and the image data were collected to calculate the volume fraction of collagen (CVF% = average collagen area/area of total field× 100).
For Western Blotting, the protein expression level of Collagen I and Collagen III were tested, with the antibodies including anti-collagen I (Boster Biological Technology, Wuhan, China) and anti-collagen III (Boster Biological Technology, Wuhan, China) adopted, and anti-GAPDH used as an internal control. Image J software was used to calculate the relative optical density of the bands.

The lung tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde 48 hours. After dehydration, tissues were embedded in paraffin, and 5-μm-thick paraffin sections were cut as slides for pathological staining like hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS), and Masson’s trichrome.
Immunohistochemical staining was performed using standard procedures. After deparaffinization and hydration using xylene and sequentially decreasing concentrations of ethanol, the sections were repaired in antigen repair solution and treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to remove endogenous peroxides. Then, the sections were blocked with goat serum for 1 hour. The samples were incubated with primary antibodies (anti-SPARC [1:200; HUABIO], anti-E-cadherin [1:200; Cell Signaling Technology], anti-N-cadherin [1:200; Cell Signaling Technology], anti-fibronectin [1:200; HUABIO], anti-collagen I [1:200; BOSTER], anti-collagen III [1:200; Abcam], anti-α-SMA [1:200; HUABIO]) overnight at 4°C, followed by HRP-labelled secondary antibody at 37°C for 30 minutes.

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.
