Cells or tissues were collected and lysed to prepare protein samples, which were separated by SDS‐PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose (NC) membranes. NC membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk in Tween 20 (TBST) tris‐buffered saline for 1.5 h at room temperature and shaken overnight at 4°C with primary antibody. Subsequently, the NC membrane was incubated with the corresponding secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature. Finally, chemiluminescence reagents (Cat. No: BL520B, Biosharp) were added to the NC membrane, which was developed in a gel imager (FluorChem M, Proteinsimple). Signals were analyzed by Image J software (National Institutes of Health).
The primary antibodies were anti‐SMAD2/3 (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), anti‐Phospho‐SMAD2/3 (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), anti‐α‐SMA(1:1000, Proteintech), anti‐Phospho‐AKT (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), anti‐AKT (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), anti‐Phospho‐p44/42 MAPK (ERK1/2) (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), anti‐p44/42 MAPK (ERK1/2) (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), anti‐SMAD4 (1:1000, Proteintech), anti‐SMAD7 (1:1000, Santa Cruz), anti‐FN (1:1000, Proteintech), and anti‐GAPDH, (1:5000, Proteintech).

Total proteins were isolated by Total Extraction Kit (KGP2100; Nanjing KeyGen Biotech Co., Ltd., Nanjing, China) following the manufacturer's protocols. Protein concentration was determined by the BCA reagent kit (KGPBCA; Nanjing KeyGen Biotech Co., Ltd.). Equal amounts of protein (60 μg) were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes, which were blocked in 5% non-fat milk, and then incubated with the primary antibodies against anti-HIF-1α (1:1,000; ProteinTech Group, Inc.), anti-TGF-β (1:500; Abcam, USA), anti-Smad4 (1:1,000; ProteinTech Group, Inc.), anti-LOX (1:2,000; Abcam, USA), anti-E-cadherin (1:200; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) and anti-β-actin (1:1,000; Elabscience Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). The samples were incubated with the antibodies overnight at 4°C. Subsequently, the membrane was incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:6,000; OriGene, Beijing, China) at room temperature for 1 h. An enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (ECL kit, KGP1121; Nanjing KeyGen Biotech Co., Ltd.) was applied as a chromogenic substrate for 1 min, and then visualized with an Amersham Imager 600 instrument (GE Healthcare Life Sciences). Grayscale analysis was performed with ImageJ software.

After treatment for the indicated time, porcine GCs were collected and western blotting assays were performed as we previously described [24] . In brief, the total protein from porcine GCs were extracted by ice-cold RIPA lysis buffer with 1% PMSF, and the concentration of total protein were measured by BCA method. Then, equal amount (~15 μg) of total protein was separated on an 4-20% SDS-PAGE gel and subsequently transferred into PVDF membrane (Merck Millipore, Germany) after electrophoresis. After incubation with 5% non-fat milk at room termperature for 90 min, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight and then with corresponding secondary antibodies for 1 h. The images were obtained after incubation with ECL reagent. The primary antibodies used here were as follows: anti-SMAD4 (1:1000, #10231-1-AP, Proteintech, Jiangsu, China), anti-ACVR1B (1:1000, #D120045, Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China), anti-BMPR2 (1:1000, #D221406, Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China), anti-TGFBR2 (1:800, #sc-400, Santa Cruz, USA), anti-CREB1 (1:1000, #9197, Cell Signaling Technology, USA), anti-c-JUN (1:2000, #9165, Cell Signaling Technology, USA), anti-SP1 (1:1000, #2250, Cell Signaling Technology, USA) and anti-GAPDH (1:3000, #TA802519, ORIGENE, Jiangsu, China).

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.
