The radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to isolate the total protein. Following quantification with bicinchoninic acid kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 20 μg samples were separated via sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred on the polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The membranes were blocked in 5% fat-free milk for 1 h and then incubated with primary antibodies (E-cadherin [ab40772, 1:8000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK], intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [ICAM-1] [ab109361, 1:1000; Abcam], vitronectin [ab45139, 1:2000; Abcam], proliferating cell nuclear antigen [PCNA] [ab18197, 1:5000; Abcam], matrix metalloproteinase 9 [MMP9] [ab76003, 1:5000; Abcam], AQP4 [ab81355, 1:300; Abcam], and GAPDH [1:5000; Abcam]) overnight, followed by interacting with secondary antibodies (ab6721, 1:2000; Abcam) for 2 h.

ECs were pre-treated with high (25 mM) or low (5 mM) glucose concentrations for 6 days. In some cases, anti-ICAM-1/LFA-1 neutralizing antibody (ab109361, ab52895; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, United States) was added to the culture medium and confluent monolayer cells were scraped off using a 200-μL pipette tip. For the in vitro assay, we gently removed the debris, cleaned the scratch border and replaced the volume with growth medium (Becker et al., 1991 (link)). To determine the number of ECs that had migrated into the scraped area, photographs were taken at various times and analyzed using NIS-Elements D image analysis software (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

VSMCs from each group were collected and lysed on ice using lysis buffer (Solarbio, Beijing, China). The mixture was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm at 4°C for 15 minutes. After discarding the supernatant, the protein concentration was determined using a BCA kit (Merck, Kenilworth, NJ, USA). Equal amounts of protein were used for sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The separated proteins were transferred onto a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane, which was then blocked with 5% skimmed milk at 25°C. The membrane was then incubated at 4°C overnight with the following primary antibodies, which were all purchased from Abcam: anti-Bax (ab3191, 1 : 2000), anti-Bcl-2 (ab196495, 1 : 1000), anti-vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1; ab174279, 1 : 2000), anti- intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; ab109361, 1 : 2000), anti-E-selectin (ab137732, 1 : 2000), anti-GBP-1 (ab22604, 1 : 2000), and anti-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (ab8245, 1 : 5000). The next day, the membrane was rinsed and incubated with the secondary antibody at 37°C for 30 minutes. Enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to visualize the protein bands and GAPDH was used to normalize the protein levels.

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.
