Figure Lengend Snippet: Echocardiography during dobutamine stress test. Time-dependent changes after dobutamine injection in ( A ) Heart rate, ( B ) ejection fraction, ( C ) stroke volume, ( D ) cardiac output, ( E ) LVESV, and ( F ) LVEDV in WT and TRPC6 KO mice with RD. ( G – L ) Heart rate, ejection fraction, stroke volume, cardiac output, LVESV, and LVEDV in WT and TRPC6 KO mice with HFD+L-NAME after dobutamine injection. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 5–6, *, p < 0.05 when compared with baseline in WT mice, #, p < 0.05 when compared to baseline in TRPC6 KO mice by post hoc test after one-way ANOVA. LVESV, left ventricular end-systolic volume; LVEDV, left ventricular end-diastolic volume. Color code: for WT RD and WT HFD+L-NAME mice, white (baseline), light gray (1 min), medium gray (5 min), dark gray (10 min) after dobutamine injection; for KO-RD and KO HFD+L-NAME mice, light blue (baseline), medium blue (1 min), darker blue (5 min), dark blue (10 min) after dobutamine injection.
Article Snippet: After transfer to nitrocellulose membranes, blots were rinsed in PBS and blocked in Odyssey blocking buffer (LI-CORbio, Lincoln, NE, USA) for 1 h at room temperature and then incubated with TRPC6 rabbit antibody (1:500, ACC-120, Alomone Labs, Jerusalem, Israel) or TRPC3 rabbit antibody (1:500, #77934, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), VDAC rabbit antibody (1:1000, #4661, Cell Signaling), GAPDH rabbit antibody (1:2000, #2118, Cell Signaling), caspase 9 rabbit antibody (1:1000, #9504, Cell Signaling), cleaved caspase 9 rabbit antibody (1:1000, #7237, Cell Signaling), PGC-1α rabbit antibody (1:1000, #2178, Cell Signaling) and BNP rabbit antibody (1:1000, PA5-96084, ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA, USA) at 4 °C overnight.
