Figure Lengend Snippet: TRPV1 activation protected against PE-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro. A, Representative images and analysis of the cell surface area of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes stained with cTnT (green) and DAPI (blue) (n = 5, scale bar = 10 μm). B, The ANP, BNP, β-MHC protein expression in primary cardiomyocytes treated with capsaicin and PE (n = 5). C, Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses of the mRNA levels of ANP, BNP, β-MHC in the indicated groups. n = 5 per group. * P < 0.05 compared with control, # P < 0.05 compared with PE group.
Article Snippet: After the nonspecific binding sites were blocked in Tris-buffered saline containing 5% nonfat dry milk for 1 hour, the membranes were incubated at 4°C overnight with primary antibodies, including mouse anti-TRPV1 (1:1000; cat.
