NOX associated key proteins (p67Phox, p47Phox, and p-p40Phox) and p-eNOS was analyzed as previously described using the Western-blot method [50,56]. In the present study, β-actin, GAPDH, and Na+/K+-ATPase were used as a corresponding standard protein markers of cytoskeleton, cytosol, and cell membrane. Each P2 fraction (mentioned above) was mixed with corresponding PMS and diluted 1:1 (v/v) in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 10% glycerol, and protease inhibitor cocktail). All the samples were centrifuged at 13,000g for 10 min at 4°C and then collected supernatants further centrifuged for 1h at 100,000g at 4°C. The obtained pellets and supernatants were designated as the membrane and cytosolic fraction [48]. Equal amounts of protein (50μg) were loaded with the appropriate marker (Bio-Rad) on a gradient gel (4-20% Tris-HCl), followed by transfer to a nitrocellulose membrane using a semi-dry transfer system (Bio-Rad) in transfer buffer (25 mM Tris, 150 mM glycine, 20% MeOH) for 2 h at 15 volt. NOX protein analyzing membranes were blocked with 5% milk, and p-eNOS assessing blots were blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA), in Tris/saline buffer-Tween (TBST). Primary antibodies of p-67Phox, p-47Phox, p-40Phox, p-eNOS β-actin, GAPDH, and Na+/K+-ATPase were added at a concentration of 1:1000 and incubated overnight at 4°C. The blots were washed three times in TBST and incubated for 1 h with alkaline phosphatase conjugated secondary antibodies in a 1:8000 dilution. All the membranes were washed three times in TBST for 10 min and developed in Sigma Fast tablets (BCIP/NBT substrate). Blots were then dried, scanned with Adobe Photoshop, and quantified with Scion Image (PC version of Macintosh-compatible NIH Image).
