Figure Legend Snippet: Fig. 5 NCL delays Ang II-induced AT1R internalization and recruits Rab4 and Rab11 to promote recycling by inhibiting AT1R phosphorylation. A. RT-qPCR and WB analysis of NCL expression in VSMCs transfected with oe-NC or oe-NCL. *p < 0.05 vs. oe-NC. B. WB analysis of AT1R expression in the cell mem brane and cytoplasm of VSMCs. C. WB analysis of β-arrestin2, Clathrin, AP-2, and Caveolae-1 expression in VSMCs. D. Detection of AT1R phosphorylation in VSMCs. Pulldown Westerns are indicated by pulldown (PD). E. Co-IP assay for validating the binding of AT1R to Rab4 and Rab11, respectively. F. WB analysis of Rab4 and Rab11expression in VSMCs. VSMCs were transfected with oe-NC or oe-NCL and then treated with Ang II. *p < 0.05 vs. Control, #p < 0.05 vs. Ang II + oe-NC. n = 3
Techniques Used: Phospho-proteomics, Quantitative RT-PCR, Expressing, Transfection, Co-Immunoprecipitation Assay, Binding Assay, Control
Figure Legend Snippet: Fig. 6 NCL induces VSMC phenotypic switching by reducing Ang II-induced AT1R internalization leading to sustained AT1R activation. VSMCs were transfected with oe-NC or oe-NCL and then treated with Ang II and 50 μm rasarfin. A. WB analysis of β-arrestin2, Clathrin, AP-2, and Caveolae-1 expression in VSMCs. B. Detection of AT1R phosphorylation in VSMCs. C. WB analysis of Rab4 and Rab11expression in VSMCs. D. EDU assay for detecting cell prolifera tion. Scale bar = 50 µM. E. Scratch assay for detecting cell migration. Scale bar = 100 µM. F. WB analysis of α-SMA, SM22α, and OPN expression. G. IF assay for detecting α-SMA and OPN expression. Scale bar = 25 µM. VSMCs were transfected with sh-NC or sh-NCL and then treated with Ang II and rasarfin. *p < 0.05 vs. Ang II + sh-NC, #p < 0.05 vs. Ang II + sh-NCL + DMSO. n = 3

I. WB analysis of AT1R, p-p38MAPK/p38MAPK, p-JNK/JNK, p-ERK/ERK, and p-PKCα/ PKCα expression. The mice were treated with Ang II and injected with sh-NC or sh-NCL lentiviruses in the tail vein. *p < 0.05 vs. sh-NC. *p < 0.05 vs. Sham, #p < 0.05 vs. Ang II + sh-NC. n = 5
