The concentration of the extracted protein was measured using a BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime, China) according to the manufacturer's protocol. After SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the separated protein was transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, USA) at 80 V for 1.5 h. The protein was then subjected to immune blot analysis with specific antibodies for ITGBL1 (Abclonal, China), Smad2 (Abclonal), p-Smad2 (Abclonal), Smad3 (Abclonal), p-Smad3 (Abclonal), Smad7 (Abclonal), JDP2 (Affinity, China), TGF-β1 (Abclonal), Ki67 (Abclonal), MMP2 (Proteintech, China), and β-actin (Santa Cruz, USA). All antibodies were diluted to 1:1000, except JDP2, which was diluted to 1:2000. In addition, the secondary antibody reagent in this study was IgG-HRP (Beyotime, China) with 1:5000 dilutions.

Protein Expression Analysis in Cardiac Tissues

NRCFs or left ventricular tissues were homogenized in lysis buffer containing PMSF (Keygen). To obtain proteins of high purity, lysates were centrifuged at 12,000
g for 15 min. The bicinchoninic acid protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher) was used to measure the protein concentration. Each sample containing 20 μg of protein was separated by 10% SDS-PAGE (Bio-Rad) and then transferred onto a PVDF membrane (Millipore, Billerica, USA). Thereafter, the proteins were probed with primary antibodies against α-SMA (1:1000; Abclonal, Wuhan, China), CTGF (1:500; Abclonal), Col1a1 (1:1000; Abclonal), Col3a1 (1:1000; Abclonal), Smad7 (1:500; Abclonal), Smad3 (1:500; Abclonal), phospho-Smad3 (1:500; Abclonal), and GAPDH (1:2000; Abclonal). Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with a secondary antibody, namely, HRP-linked goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:5000; Abclonal). Finally, the signals were detected using an ECL kit (Tanon, Shanghai, China) on an imaging system (Tanon), and the blots were quantified with ImageJ software.

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.
