Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. SB supplement ameliorated TMAO-mediated activation of ER stress signaling and dysregulation of ionic signaling. (A) and (B) Representative images and statistical data show the expression of pPERK, PERK, pIRE1a, IRE1a, pNF-jB, NF-jB, pIP3R, IP3R, NCX, Kv1.5, and b-actin in HL-1 cells from control group (n = 3), TMAO treated (n = 3), SB treated (n = 3), and TMAO combined with SB treated group (n = 3) in three independent experiments. b-Actin was used as a loading control. *P < 0.05. **P < 0.01. TMAO versus control or SB or TMAO combined with SB treatment.
Article Snippet: The cells were fixed with 100 % methanol, the slides were blocked with 5 % bovine serum albumin, and the cells were incubated with primary antibodies against pPERK (#3179, Cell Signaling), pIRE1a (NB100-2323, Novus), pNF-jB (ab86299, Abcam), and calnexin (ab22595, Abcam) and secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor488 and Alexa Fluor 647 Jackson) in blocking buffer.
