Hearts from the euthanized mice were fixed in 4% formaldehyde (pH 7.3) for 12 h, dehydrated in alcohol, clarified in xylene, and embedded in paraffin to be sectioned at 5 μm. Protein levels were evaluated in cardiac tissues using the immunoperoxidase technique with anti-p-MYPT1 (T696) (Cell Signaling, USA #5163), anti-ROCK1 (Cell Signaling, USA #4035), anti-ROCK2 (Cell Signaling, USA #9029) antibodies. Staining was performed using a peroxidase and diaminobenzidine kit with a chromophore according to the manufacturer’s instructions (RTU-Vectastain kit; Vector Laboratories, USA). The heart tissue was additionally stained with hematoxylin. The images were obtained with a Nikon Eclipse 400 epifluorescence microscope (Nikon, Japan) and analyzed with ImageJ software (ImageJ 1.47v).

The western blot protocol was conducted as previously described [18 (link)]. The antibodies used in the study were as follows: anti-CD45 (BD Biosciences, 610266, (1/1000), anti-ROCK2 (Cell Signaling, 1/1000), SLC45A3 (Abcam, ab137065, 1/1000), and anti-ALDH1A2 (Abcam, ab156019, 1/2000). Unfortunately, there is no available specific antibodies for KCNK3 [19 (link), 20 (link)], thus avoiding any measurement of the protein expression. When tested in kcnk3-knockout miceand Kcnk3-mutated rats, we previously found that all commercially anti-KCNK3 antibodies tested were unusable [20 (link)]. This is why we analyzed KCNK3 expression by RT-qPCR. The blots were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-mouse diluted 1:10,000 (Cell Signaling) or with HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit diluted 1:5000 (Cell Signaling). The antibodies were detected using ECL reagents. (Perkin–Elmer). ImageJ software was used to quantify the level of protein expression.

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.
