Western blotting analysis was performed as described previously.29 (link),30 (link) Briefly, protein lysed from cells and tissues was separated by SDS-PAGE gel and transferred onto a PVDF membrane. The membrane was probed with primary antibodies against RBM20 (1:1500, rabbit, homemade3 (link)), phosphorylated RBM20 S637 (1:1000, rabbit; Abmart Inc. Shanghai, China), GAPDH (1:1500, rabbit; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, Massachusetts, USA; Cat#2118S) served as the protein-loading control. Then, the membrane was probed with horseradish peroxidase-coupled secondary antibodies (1:3000, anti-rabbit; Promega; Cat#W4011) for 1 h. Chemiluminescence images were taken by ChemiDoc system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA).
