Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of STL on the protein expression of SIRT1, Ac-p53, Bcl-2 and Bax in the brain 24 hours after cerebral I/R. (A) Western blot assay for protein expression in each group. (B–E) Density analysis of SIRT1 (B), Ac-p53 (C), Bcl-2 (D), and Bax (E) protein expression. β-Actin was used as a loading control. The protein expressions were expressed as the optical density percentage of the target protein to β-actin. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM ( n = 4 rats per group), and were analyzed by analysis of variance followed by the least significant difference test. ** P < 0.01, vs . sham group; ## P < 0.01, vs . I/R group; && P < 0.01, vs . I/R + STL (17.2 mL/kg) group. STL: Shuan-Tong-Ling ; I/R: ischemia/reperfusion; Ac-p53: acetylated-protein 53; EX527: SIRT1 inhibitor; SIRT1: silent information regulator 1.
Article Snippet: The membranes were incubated overnight with rabbit anti-mouse SIRT1 polyclonal antibody (1:1,000; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), rabbit anti-mouse Ac-p53 polyclonal antibody (1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Buffalo, CA, USA), anti-mouse Bcl-2 monoclonal antibody (1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-mouse Bax monoclonal antibody (1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and goat anti-rat β-actin antibody (1:2,000; Boster, Wuhan, Hubei Province, China) at 4°C.
