Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1. Nogo-B upregulated in heart tissues of ApoE¡/¡ mice after TAC. (A) Immunofluorescence staining of heart sections with Nogo-B (red), endothelial cell marker VE-cadherin (VEC, green) and nuclei DAPI, from ApoE−/−mice after 24-h or (B) 7 weeks TAC. Scale bar: 20 μm. (C–E) Representative Western blotting images and quantifications of protein levels of Nogo-B in whole heart tissues from ApoE−/−and Nogo-A/B−/−ApoE−/−(DKO) mice subject to 24-h (C), or 72-h (D), or 7-week (E) sham and TAC operation. n ≥5 mice/group. P value with statistical significance were labeled above the connected lines between indicated groups (one- way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test).

Article Snippet: Frozen heart sections were air dried at room temperature for 10 min, rinsed in PBS, incubated in 0.1% Triton X-100 in 5% BSA solution for 1 h at 37 ◦C, then co-stained overnight in 5% BSA solution at 4 ◦C with addition of antibodies against Nogo-A/B (1:200, cat#ab47085, Abcam), VE-cadherin (1:100, cat#sc-9989, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), αSMA (1:100, cat#67735-1-Ig, Proteintech) or CD68 (1:100, cat#MA513324, Thermo fisher), respectively.
