LX-2 cells were seeded on Poly-lysine-pre-coated glass cover slips and incubated with THP-1 cells stably over-expressing lncRNA-HEIM or mock control in transwell (3.0 μm, Corning Costar, USA) for 36 h. After washing with PBS, cells were sequentially fixed with 4% ice-cold paraformaldehyde for 30 min, permeabilized with 1% Triton X-100 for 20 min, and blocked using 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS for 1 h at room temperature. Next, cells were incubated with primary antibodies against α-SMA (1:100, rabbit, Abcam, ab32575), COL1A2 (1:100, mouse, Santa Cruze, sc-166865) overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with FITC-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:150, Thermo Fisher, USA) and PE-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:150, Thermo Fisher, USA) in PBS away from light for 30 min at room temperature. And the nuclei were stained with DAPI for 20 min. All immunofluorescence was then visualized using confocal microscope (NIKON A1R).

Lung tissues and cultured cells were homogenized in T-PER Tissue Protein Extraction Reagent (Thermo Scientific), and RIPA lysis buffer was added with phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride for extraction of total proteins (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai, China; PMSF, Sigma-Aldrich). A total of 80 μg of protein extracts were separated on 10% polyacrylamide gels (Sigma-Aldrich) and transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (0.2 μm, Immobilon, ISEQ00010). Protein bands were next incubated with indicated primary antibodies for analysis of protein levels as described previously (37 (link)).
The following primary antibodies were used: antibody against fibronectin (Abcam, ab45688); antibody against collagen I (ABclonal, A1352); antibody against α-SMA (Abcam, ab32575); antibody against UHRF1 (Santa Cruz, H-8, sc-373750); antibody against beclin 1 (ABclonal, A7353); antibody against Dnmt1 (Santa Cruz, sc-271729); antibody against TEAD1 (ABclonal, A13366); antibody against TEAD4 (ABclonal, A4151); antibody against YAP (Proteintech, 13584-1-AP); and antibody against GAPDH (ABclonal, AC002).

Cell lysates were resolved via SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose membrane (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA), and blocked in PBS/Tween-20 containing 5% non-fat milk. The membrane was incubated with antibodies for α-SMA (Abcam, ab32575, Cambridge, UK), collagen I (Santa Cruz, sc-166865), TGF-beta1 (Abcam, ab92486, Cambridge, UK), Phospho-Smad3 (Cell Signaling Technology, #9520, Beverly, Massachusetts, USA), Phospho-SMAD2(Cell Signaling Technology, #18338), Smad2/3 (Cell Signaling Technology, #8685), Smad4 (Cell Signaling Technology, ab40759), and GAPDH (Huabio, EM1101, Hangzhou, China). Immunoreactive proteins were visualized using ECL detection system (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA). The chemiluminescent density was determined using ImageJ 1.52a, and normalized with GAPDH. Fold changes were indicated in the figure based on the negative control, or indicated otherwise in the corresponding figure legend.

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.
