Figure Lengend Snippet: Phenotypic assessment of SOL, GAS, and PMM in Duroc pigs. ( A ) Experimental design diagram. ( B ) Phenotypic diagrams of SOL, GAS, LDM, and PMM are presented, with LDM as the control for PMM ( n = 6). ( C ) HE staining of SOL, GAS, and PMM across three developmental stages ( n = 6); Scale bar, 50 μm. ( D ) At 120 days of age, MYH7 antibody immunostaining was performed on SOL, GAS, and PMM ( n = 3). ( E , F ) At 120 days of age, the mRNA expression levels of MYH7 and MYH4 in SOL, GAS, and PMM were detected using qRT-PCR ( n = 3). ( G ) Protein expression levels of MYH7 and MYH1 during the development of the SOL, GAS, and PMM were analyzed by Western Blot ( n = 3).

Article Snippet: Western blot analysis was performed with the following primary antibodies: MYH7 (1:1000, 22280-1-AP, Proteintech Group, Inc., Wuhan, China), MYH1 (1:10000, 67299-1-Ig, Proteintech Group, Inc., Wuhan, China), and Anti-GAPDH (1:10000, 10494-1-AP, Proteintech Group, Inc., Wuhan, China).

Article Title: MiR-18 inhibitor promotes the differentiation of bovine skeletal muscle-derived satellite cells by increasing MEF2D expression.

doi: 10.1093/jas/skac238

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 2. MiR-18 inhibitor promotes bMDSCs differentiation. (A, C). Immunofluorescence staining of Desmin (FITC) in DM or GM. bMDSCs were transfected with miR-18 inhibitors, NC (negative control; scrambled sequence), or miR-17 and miR-19 (positive control) in DM or GM for 3, 5, and 7 d. Scale bars, 100 µm. (B, D). Muscular tube fusion rate in accordance with the Desmin staining in A and C. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001. (E, F). Western blotting of MYH3 expression from bMDSCs in DM or GM processed with miR-18 inhibitor, NC or miR-17 and miR-19 for 48 h. GAPDH was employed to serve as a loading control.

Article Snippet: We used primary antibodies for Anti-MYH3 (1:1000, cat# 22287-1-AP), Anti-FLAG (1:1000, cat# 66008-4-Ig), and Anti-GAPDH (1:1000, cat# 10494-1-AP) were purchased from Proteintech (Chicago, IL) for western blot analysis.
