Effects of BO on CaMKII/RyR2 signaling, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, activated caspase-3 expression and Akt phosphorylation in atrium. (A) CaMKII phosphorylation (Thr 286) was significantly increased in the BO group (n = 10) (**P < 0 .01 vs. Control (n = 12) by one-way ANOVA), but this increase was blocked in the Pro + BO group (n = 12) (**P < 0 .01 vs. BO by one-way ANOVA). Full-size images of immunoblots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 1. (B) CaMKII oxidation was significantly increased in the BO group (n = 8) (*P < 0 .05 vs. Control (n = 6) by one-way ANOVA). Full-size images of immunoblots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 2. (C) RyR2 phosphorylation (Ser-2814) was significantly increased in the BO group (n = 9) (**P < 0 .01 vs. Control (n = 12) by one-way ANOVA), but this increase was blocked in the Pro + BO group (n = 13) (*P < 0 .05 vs. BO by one-way ANOVA). Full-size images of immunoblots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 3. (D) The Bax/Bcl-2 ratio was significantly increased in the BO group (n = 8) (**P < 0 .01 vs. Control (n = 6) by one-way ANOVA), but this increase was blocked in the Pro + BO group (n = 10) (*P < 0 .05 vs. BO by one-way ANOVA). Full-size images of immunoblots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 4. (E) The level of activated caspase-9 was significantly increased in the BO group (n = 9) (**P < 0 .01 vs. Control (n = 10) by one-way ANOVA), but this increase was blocked in the Pro + BO group (n = 11) (*P < 0 .05 vs. BO by one-way ANOVA). Full-size images of immunoblots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 5. (F) The level of activated caspase-3 was significantly increased in the BO group (n = 7) (***P < 0 .001 vs. Control (n = 8) by one-way ANOVA), but this increase was blocked in the Pro + BO group (n = 9) (**P < 0 .01 vs. BO by one-way ANOVA). Full-size images of immunoblots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 6. (G) Akt phosphorylation (Ser-473) was significantly increased in the BO group (n = 7) (**P < 0 .01 vs. Control (n = 6) by one-way ANOVA), but this increase was blocked in the Pro + BO group (n = 6) (*P < 0 .05 vs. BO by one-way ANOVA). Full-size images of immunoblots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 7. Data show means ± SD and scattered dots show individual data.
