Experimental details: Fig. 2 TGF-beta inhibits ADAMTS-4 protein expression in macrophages. THP-1 macrophages (A) or HMDMs (B) were either left untreated (UT) or incubated with 30 ng/ml TGF-beta for the time points indicated. An equal amount of the protein extract was subjected to Western blot analysis using antisera against ADAMTS-4 and the control beta-actin, as shown. The relative ADAMTS-4 expression normalised to beta-actin, as determined by densitometric analysis, from three independent experiments is shown (mean +- SD) with the values from untreated cells arbitrarily assigned as 1 (* P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001).

( A,B ) Samples from Reelin-expressing HEK293 cells were collected after 12 hours incubation. ( A ) Metal chelator (PO, 50 uM), catechins (EGCG, 150 uM; ECG, 150 uM), and picetanol (PIC, 60 uM) inhibit Reelin cleavage. ( B ) Expression of TIMP-3, -1, and alpha2M, but not TIMP-4, inhibit Reelin cleavage. ( C ) Recombinant ADAMTS-4 (10 ng/ul) processes Reelin at both cleavage sites. Short vertical line at the bottom of the blot denotes that the last lanes, from the same blot, were joined for visual presentation. ( D ) Recombinant TIMP-3 (1.5, 3, 6, 12 ng/ul) and alpha2M (44, 72, 88,100 ng/ul) inhibit the proteolytic action of ADAMTS-4 on full-length Reelin. ( E ) Anti-ADAMTS-4 immunoblots (IB) showing reduction of ADAMTS-4 protein levels in HeLa cells transfected with two different ADAMTS-4 shRNA constructs, but not with scrambled shRNA nor with empty vector. ( F ) ADAMTS-4 shRNA transiently inhibited Reelin cleavage in Reelin-expressing HeLa cells. The frame emcompasses overexposed lanes from the blot on the right (asterisks) for better visualization of the Reelin fragments.

Experimental details: Confirmation of the specific binding of the ADAMTS4-specific probe. a From left to right: In vivo MRI before and after administration of the ADAMTS4-specific probe in one male mouse 4 weeks following aneurysms induction was highly comparable to corresponding ex vivo MRI scan of the abdominal aorta and ex vivo immunofluorescence staining (ADAMTS4 stain) and Elastica van Gieson (EvG) staining. b Intravenous administration of the fluorescent variant of the ADAMTS4-specific probe resulted in a strong fluorescence of the aneurysmal wall that was clearly co-localized with areas of ADAMTS4 expression using immunofluorescence staining (white arrows). c The competition experiment ( n = 3 mice) showed a significant decrease in the contrast-to-noise-ratio compared to the administration of the gadolinium-labeled ADAMTS4-specific probe alone, confirming the specific binding of the probe ( P = 0.0025). Data are presented as mean values +- SEM. d , e Using the negative control probe Cys*-Phe-His-Pro-Tyr-Cys*-linker (DOTA-Gd) with a similar size to the ADAMTS4-specific probe, no significant increase in contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) was measured in vivo in the aortic wall of ApoE -/- mice ( n = 6). The application of the ADAMTS4-specific probe resulted in a strong and significant increase in CNR in the vessel wall as well in the thrombus. * P = 0.08; ** P = 0.04; Data are presented as mean values +- SEM.

Experimental details: Adamts4 and Tgf-beta1 expression is inhibited following pre-treatment with ALKI. Staining with anti-Adamts4 (shown in green) showed a 4- and 3.7-fold increase following H 2 O 2 and hypoxia treatments in the fluorescence intensities of Adamts4 but was found to reduce to 2 and 1.6 folds in the treatment groups--ALKI + H 2 O 2 and ALKI + Hypoxia respectively ( a and b ). IF with anti-Tgf-beta1 antibody (shown in red) showed elevated expression of 4.5 and fourfold following H 2 O 2 and hypoxia treatments and this reduced to 2.5 and 2.3 folds for ALKI + H 2 O 2 and ALKI + Hypoxia groups ( a and c ). DAPI (in blue) was used as nuclear stain. Adamts4 WB shows of increased expression of 3.7 and 4 folds for the Hyp, H 2 O 2 treated groups which reduce to 1.7, and 1.5 in ALKI + Hyp and ALKI + H 2 O 2 treated groups ( d and e ). Tgf-beta1 inhibition following ALKI pre-treatment was also assessed by qPCR ( f ) which showed a reduction from 8 and 7.4 folds for H 2 O 2 and hypoxia treatment groups to 4 and 4.4 folds for ALKI + H 2 O 2 and ALKI + Hyp treatment groups. Tgf-beta1 protein expression measured by WB ( g and h ) showed a 4- and 3.8-fold increased change for H 2 O 2 and Hypoxia subjected H9c2 cells to 1.5 and 1.8 folds for ALKI + H 2 O 2 and ALKI + Hyp treatment respectively. beta-actin was used to normalize gene expression for qPCR assay and total protein was used as loading control for WB. n = 3, data analyzed and expressed as mean +- SD.

Experimental details: Periostin expression is reduced after ALKI pre-treatment and successful knockdown of Adamt4 mRNA in cultured H9c2 cells. IF with anti-Periostin antibody (shown in green) shows inhibition of Periostin expression under ALKI + H 2 O 2 , and ALKI + Hyp conditions as compared to only H 2 O 2 and Hyp treated conditions. A reduced expression of 2.3 and 2 folds for ALKI + H 2 O 2 , and ALKI + Hyp was observed which was a decrease from the 4 and 3.7 fold change found for only H 2 O 2 and Hyp treatments ( a and b ) in comparison to control. Successful knockdown of Adamts4 via Adamts4 siRNA transfection is shown by Adamts4 WB (shown in c and d ), a 0.46 fold expression in the knockdown group against the control group was found. Further, Adamts4 IF (shown in green) also validated the successful knockdown of Adamts4. A decrease in the mean fluorescence intensity from 1 as observed for Scsi treatment set to 0.33 for ATSsi tr group was found. ( e and f ). DAPI (shown in blue) was used as nuclear stain. Finally, from qPCR Adamts4 mRNA levels were downregulated from onefold observed for Scsi tr set to 0.25-fold for ATSsi tr group ( g ). n = 3, data analyzed and expressed as mean +- SD. Differences were considered statistically significant for p < 0.05.

Experimental details: Tgf-beta1 expression remains unaffected by Adamts4 knockdown. IF with anti-Adamts4 (shown in green) showed downregulation of Adamts4 following Adamts4 loss of function along with injury treatments. Adamts4 levels were found to decrease to 2 and 1.8 folds in the ATSsi + H 2 O 2 and ATSsi + Hyp groups in comparison to the 4 and 3.7 folds increase observed for only H 2 O 2 and Hyp treatments ( a and b ) but Tgf-beta1 remained largely unaffected by this loss of function of Adamts4 and as shown by staining with anti-Tgf-beta1 (shown in red) where the levels of Tgf-beta1 were 4.5 and 4.0 for H 2 O 2 and Hyp groups and 4.2 and 4.1 for ATSsi + H 2 O 2 and ATSsi + Hyp groups (a and c). DAPI (shown in blue) was used as nuclear stain. Differences between groups H 2 O 2 and ATSsi + H 2 O 2 , and Hyp and ATSsi + Hyp were not found to be significant. n = 3, data analyzed and expressed as mean +- SD.
