Total proteins from cells or myocardial tissue were extracted and quantified. Then, 30–50 μg of each sample was separated using 10% SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis (stacking gel 50 V, separating gel 100 V), and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (100 V, 75 min). Membranes were then blocked and incubated with primary antibodies followed by secondary antibodies. HRP-labeled secondary antibodies were detected using chemiluminescence, and the grayscale of the protein bands was analyzed using Gel-pro Image Analysis Software (Media cybernetics, Rockville, MD, USA).

Western blotting was performed as described previously (Zhang et al., 2015 (link)). Briefly, total protein in CMECs was extracted and quantified. Next, equal amounts of denatured protein samples (20–50 μg) were subjected to 8% SDS-PAGE and probed with corresponding primary antibodies for Egr-1 (1:1500), p-JNK (1:1000), total-JNK (1:2000), p-ERK1/2 (1:2000), total-ERK1/2 (1:2000), p-p38 (1:2000), total-p38 (1:2000), and β-actin (1:4000) at 4°C overnight, followed by secondary antibodies [HRP-labeled rabbit anti-mouse IgG (1:50,000) or HRP-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:80,000)]. HRP-labeled secondary antibodies were detected by chemiluminescence, and the protein bands were analyzed using Gel-pro Image Analysis Software (Media Cybernetics, USA). The ratio of p-JNK/JNK, p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2, and p-p38/p38 reflected the activation of JNK, ERK1/2, and p38, respectively, and the ratio of Egr-1/β-actin represented the expression of Egr-1.

The cells were lysed with RIPA solution, and the total cell proteins in each group were extracted. The BCA protein detection kit was used to measure the protein concentration of each sample to ensure that the loading total protein in each group was the same. After SDS-PAGE separation, the proteins were transferred onto the nitrocellulose (NC) filter membrane. After the electric transfer, the membrane was sealed with 5% skim milk for 1 h. After sealing, membrane was treated with P2X7 (1:300), NLRP3 (1:300), ASC (1:100), Caspase-1 (1:100), and GSDMD1 (1:3,000) antibodies and incubated overnight at 4°C. Then the membranes were washed with TBST for 3 times, 10 min each time. The goat anti-rabbit-IgG-HRP antibody (1:20,000) and goat anti-murine-IgG-HRP antibody (1:20,000) diluted in 5% skim milk were added, and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. The membranes were washed again with TBST for 3 times, 10 min each time. Finally, chemiluminescent solution was used for exposure in a dark room. Gel-Pro image analysis software (Media Cybernetics, United States) was used to analyze the optical density of the protein bands.

H9c2 cells were washed with cold PBS three times, and scraped into mixed lysate buffer containing RIPA buffer and phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF; 1,000:1). Lysates were centrifuged for 15 min at 12,000 × g at 4°C. Protein was quantified using a BCA protein assay kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL, United States), and 25 μg of each sample was resolved on 10% SDS-PAGE (stacking gel 50 V, separating gel 100 V), and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (100 V, 75 min).

The expression of the apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2 and Bax) and AMPK/Sirt1 were determined using Western blotting. Briefly, equivalent protein samples from each group were separated using 10% or 12% SDS-PAGE and then transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes. The membranes were blocked using 5% skim milk at RT for 1 h and incubated with primary antibodies against p-AMPKα (Thr172) (no. 2535, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technologies, MA, USA), Bcl-2 (no. 26539-1-AP, 1:2000, Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China), AMPKα (no. 2603, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technologies, MA, USA), Bax (no. 2772, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technologies, MA, USA), Sirt1 (no. 9475, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technologies, MA, USA), and β-actin (no.

The protocol of extracting cells is as previously described [5 (link), 20 (link)]. The equal denatured protein underwent 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and then was transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane by electrophoresis. Membranes were blocked with 5% fat-free milk and immunoblotted with diluted primary antibody: anti-phospho-JNK (1 : 400), anti-Sab (1 : 250), anti-p-Src (1 : 250), anti-c-Src (1 : 1000), anti-COX-IV (1 : 400), and anti-β-actin (1 : 5000) and then incubated at 4°C overnight, which was followed by exposure to horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (typically 1 : 20,000 dilution) for 1 hour at room temperature. Transferred proteins were visualized by use of a SuperSignal detection kit (Thermo-Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The bands were analyzed with the Gel-Pro Image Analysis Software (Media Cybernetics, USA). The level of each mitochondrial protein was expressed as its density to the density of mitochondrial loading control COX-IV. To avoid the error in defferent batches, the desity ratio between interest protein and COX-IV in the H/R group was set as 1.

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.
