Immunoblotting: Protein concentrations were measured using the Micro BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce/Thermo Scientific, IL). Sample buffer was mixed with 5-25 μg (G-samples) or 30 μg (NaCl and SDS samples) of the protein lysate, denatured at 96° C. for 10 min, and run on 1.5 mm 4-12% Bis-Tris gradient gels (Nupage, Invitrogen, CA), with MOPS SDS running buffer until the 37 kDa protein marker reached the bottom of the gel. All protein extracts were loaded blinded to group.SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting was performed as described in the Criterion BioRad protocol, using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden). Blots were developed using the ECL Plus Western Blotting Detection System (GE Healthcare) and visualized in the Las-4000 mini from Fujifilm (Japan). Before reprobing, stripping was performed using the Restore Western Blot Stripping Buffer (21059, Thermo Scientific, IL).
