Article Snippet: After incubation in blocking buffer for 30 min, the PVDF membranes were incubated overnight at 4 °C with a mouse antibody against GPX4 (1:2000, 67763-1-Ig, Proteintech, Wuhan, China), a rabbit antibody against ACSL4 (1:10,000, 22401-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, China), a rabbit antibody against Nrf2 (1:1000, A0674, ABclonal, Wuhan, China), a rabbit antibody against Lamin B1 (1:10,000, 12987-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, China), and a mouse antibody against GAPDH (1:50,000, 60004-1-Ig, Proteintech, Wuhan, China).
