Proximity Ligation Assay: Isolated cardiomyocytes were washed twice in PBS at room temperature, transferred to 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and gently shaken for 30 min, then washed twice again in PBS. The cardiomyocyte suspension was next transferred to 0.8 cm2 wells, each coated with 8 μg laminin (Invitrogen), and incubated at 37° C. for 2 h. PBS was replaced by 0.1% Triton X100 in PBS, and incubated for 10 min at 37° C. Proximity ligation assay was then performed with the Duolink II proprietary system (Olink Bioscience, Uppsala, Sweden), according to the manufacturer's protocol (Soderberg, O., et al., Direct observation of individual endogenous protein complexes in situ by proximity ligation. Nat Methods, 2006. 3(12): 995-1000).Cardiomyocytes were scanned on a Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope (excitation 543 nm HeNe laser, through a MBS 488/543 dichroic mirror, emission collected at 565-589 nm). ImageJ 1.44p software (http://imagej.nih.gov/ij) was used for analysis of single-cell intracellular fluorescence intensity by measuring whole cell mean gray value. Results were corrected for background fluorescence signal.
