AMG-treated fibroblasts as well as unwounded and MG-treated keratinocytes were used to evaluate changes in protein levels upon treatment (untreated cells were used as controls). Samples were processed as [14 (link)]. Membranes were then incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies: rabbit α-Smooth Muscle actin (1:800, ab15734, Abcam), mouse p-ERK (1:1000, sc-7383, Santa Cruz), rabbit ERK (1:1000, sc-94, Santa Cruz), mouse Tubulin-alpha (1:1000, T5168, Sigma Aldrich). Analyses were performed using the ChemiDoc XRS + detection system (BioRad, Temse, Belgium) in combination with chemiluminescent HRP substrates SuperSignal West Pico PLUS and SuperSignal West Femto (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Relative densitometry was obtained normalizing all samples to the housekeeping Tubulin-alpha, using both the QuantityOne software and ImageLab software (BioRad).
