Animals were anaesthetized at 8 hours after ICH. An ipsilateral basal ganglia sample was harvested to determine Piezo-2 protein levels (n = 3 per group). Western blotting was performed as described previously2 (link). Each sample that contained 50 μg protein was separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Proteins were blotted onto a PVDF membrane and incubated with polyclonal rabbit anti-FAM38B (Abcam; 1:500 dilution) and polyclonal rabbit anti-β-actin (Proteintech; 1:1000 dilution). The secondary antibody was goat anti-rabbit IgG (Beyotime; 1:1000 dilution). The antigen-antibody complexes were visualized by the ECL electrochemiluminescence and quantified by Quantity-one. Representative strips were proceeded through “Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2016”.
