Article Title: HSPB2 Is Dispensable for the Cardiac Hypertrophic Response but Reduces Mitochondrial Energetics following Pressure Overload In Mice
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0042118
Figure Lengend Snippet: Hearts from HSPB2wt and HSPB2cKO were isolated at 8 weeks after sham or TAC procedure and protein extracts (soluble fraction) were analyzed by western blots probed with anti-HSPB2, HSPB1 (HSP25), HSPB5 (CRYAB) and HSPB6 (HSP20). In contrast to transcripts, protein levels were not significantly modified in samples from TAC operated mice and except for HSPB2, there was no difference between HSPB2cKO and HSPB2wt samples. Two to five samples were analyzed per group and a representative example is shown.
Article Snippet: The proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membrane and were probed with antibodies against HSPB2 (see description above), CRYAB/HSPB5 antibody (1∶5000) , HSP20 (HSPB6 (ADI-SPA-796, Enzo Life Sciences; 1∶2000), HSP25/HSPB1 (ADi-SPA- 801, Enzo Life Sciences; 1∶1000), VDAC (porin, PC548, Calbiochem: 1∶1000) and GAPDH (GAPDH -14C10, Cell signaling technology; 1∶5000).
Techniques: Isolation, Western Blot, Modification
