Protein analysis was performed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis/western blot, loading 30 μg each sample. Proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Amersham, GE Healthcare Europe GmbH, Milano, Italy), and revealed by immunoblotting with specific antibodies: rabbit polyclonal heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) (1:200)(sc-10789; Santa Cruz Biotechnology™, Dallas, TX, USA), rabbit polyclonal inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) (1:200) (sc-8310; Santa Cruz Biotechnology™), rabbit polyclonal cytochrome 1b1 (Cyp1b1) (1:200) (sc-32882; Santa Cruz Biotechnology™), goat polyclonal heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) (1:200)(sc-10-70; Santa Cruz Biotechnology™), rabbit polyclonal cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) (1:1000)(#4842; Cell Signalling Technology®, Danvers, MA, USA), and rabbit polyclonal myeloperoxidase (MPO) (1:200) (sc-16128-R; Santa Cruz Biotechnology™). The secondary antibodies were appropriate horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (1:5000) (31460 Thermofisher Scientific™ Waltham, MA, USA) or donkey anti-goat (1:2000) (sc-2020; Santa Cruz Biotechnology™). Immunoblot bands have been analyzed and the optical density quantified by LAS4000 (GE Healthcare, Marlborough, MA, USA); all the data have been normalized to Ponceau staining (Sigma Chemical Co., Milano, Italy) [78 (link)].
