At the end of each experiment, fibroblasts were harvested and whole-cell lysates subjected to western analysis as described [12 (link)]. The following antibodies were used: anti-phospho-Smad2 (Cell Signaling Technology, Boston, MA, USA), anti-type I collagen (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL, USA), A20 (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA), anti-α smooth muscle-actin (αSMA), beta actin and tubulin (all from Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Proteins were visualized using ECL reagents (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA) and levels were quantitated by determining band intensities normalized to loading controls in each lane using ImageJ software.

At the end of the experiments, fibroblast cultures were harvested, and whole cell protein lysates were subjected to Western blot analysis. The following antibodies were used: anti–type I collagen (SouthernBiotech), anti–α-smooth muscle actin (anti–α-SMA) (Sigma), anti-GAPDH (Zymed), and anti–α-tubulin (Sigma). Bands were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (Pierce), and images were captured using a Fujifilm (Fuji). In each sample, band intensities were quantified with ImageJ software and normalized to GAPDH.

Cardiac Myocyte Hypertrophy Measurement

The extent of cardiac myocyte hypertrophy was determined on haematoxylin and eosin stained sections, as previously reported [11 (link)]. In brief, stained sections were scanned digitally by high resolution microscopy (Ultra-Resolution Digital Scanning System, Aperio Technologies Inc., Vista, CA), and images analyzed with The NDP view2 software (Hamamatsu Photonics, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Pref., Japan). Cardiac myocytes with elliptical nuclei in transverse section were selected. Diameter measurements were taken membrane to membrane across the narrowest point that crosses the nucleus. The average diameter of 30–50 myocytes per animal was measured, as previously described [12 (link)].
Changes in cardiac structure were assessed in a masked protocol in animals from each group. Sections were stained with fibrillar collagen subtypes I and III using specific antibodies (anti-type I collagen: Southern Biotechnology Associates, Inc. Birmingham, AL; anti-type III collagen: Biogenex, San Ramon, CA), and quantified as previously reported [7 (link)].

Cells were lysed and processed as described previously (Pannu et al., 2006 (link)), using anti-type I collagen (SouthernBiotech, Birmingham, AL), anti-phosho-Smad1/5 (Ser463/465) (41D10; Cell Signaling TECHNOLOGY, Danvers, MA), anti-Smad1 (Cell Signaling Technology), anti-phospho-Smad2 (Ser465/467) (Cell Signaling Technology), anti-Smad2/3 (Cell Signaling Technology), anti-CTGF (L-20; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX), anti-YAP/TAZ (D24E4; Cell Signaling Technology), anti-phospho-GSK3β (Ser9) (119A11; Cell Signaling Technology), anti-GSK3β (H-76; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-phospho-Akt (Ser473) (193H12; Cell Signaling Technology), anti-phospho-YAP (S127) (D9W2I; Cell Signaling Technology) and anti-Akt (C67E7; Cell Signaling Technology) antibodies. Densitometric quantification was done using Image J.

At the end of the incubation periods, cultures were harvested, and equal amounts of whole-cell lysates (5–15 µg) were subjected to electrophoresis in Tris–glycine 4–15% gradient gels and transferred to PVDF membranes (15 (link)). Membranes were incubated with the primary antibodies anti–type I collagen (1:400; SouthernBiotech), anti–phospho-Smad2 (1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology), anti-SIRT1, anti–histone H4, anti–β-actin, and anti-p300 (all 1:200; all from Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti–α-smooth muscle actin (anti–α-SMA) and anti–α-tubulin (both 1:3,000; both from Sigma), and anti-GAPDH (1:3,000; Invitrogen), followed by appropriate secondary antibodies. Antigen–antibody complexes were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence (Pierce). Protein levels were quantitated by determining band intensities normalized to loading controls in each lane using ImageJ software (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/).

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.
