Figure Lengend Snippet: BTP2 inhibited the EPI-induced nuclear translocation of NFAT4 in HL-1 cardiomyocytes. HL-1 cells were treated with vehicle, 1 µM EPI, 20 µM BTP2, or 1 µM EPI combined with 20 µM BTP2 for 5 h, followed by drug withdrawal and culture for 24 h and stained for NFAT4. Cells treated with 10 µM ionomycin for 15 min were used as positive control. ( A ) Representative confocal images of NFAT. Scale bar, 10 µm. white arrows indicate the co-localization of NFAT4 and Nuclei ( B ) Statistical analysis of the percentage of cells with NFAT nuclear translocation. Each dot is an averaged datapoint from a single confocal image. Each image represents one biological replicate. Mean ± SD. **: p < 0.01 (based on one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc analysis).
Article Snippet: Then, the cells were incubated with rabbit anti-NFAT4 primary antibody (1:100, ProteinTech, Rosemont, IL, USA) in blocking solution at 4 °C overnight.
