Thirty micrograms of proteins, acquired from all samples, were processed as earlier mentioned (Mammana et al., 2019 (link)). Membranes were incubated with primary antibodies rabbit anti-VEGF (1:750; rabbit; Sigma-Aldrich, Milan, Italy), RUNX2 (1:750; rabbit; Sigma-Aldrich), and anti-beta-actin (1:750; mouse; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, United States). After five washes in PBS containing 0.1% Tween-20, samples were incubated for 1 h at room temperature with peroxydase-conjugated secondary antibody anti-rabbit and anti-mouse diluted 1:2,000 in 1 × PBS, 3% milk, 0.1% Tween (Mazzatenta et al., 2014 (link)). Protein expression was detected using the enhanced chemiluminescence detection system (ECL; Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Milan, Italy) with photo documenter Alliance 2.7 (Uvitec, Cambridge, United Kingdom). Signals were captured by ECL enhancing and analyzed using a UVIband-1D gel analysis (Uvitec).
