Quantification of desmin partition toward cytoskeleton or insoluble protein material. Twenty µg of proteins sample extracts (RIPA for desmin protein expression, and SDS-resolubilized extracts or DIB for partition toward cytoskeleton or insoluble material, respectively) were resolved on AnykD Stain-free gels and analysed by western blot for desmin detection. (a) Desmin protein level in whole proteome. (b,c) Changes in desmin partition towards cytoskeleton (b) or insoluble protein material (c) from untreated (C, ●), Ac4-5S-GlcNAc- and Thiamet G-treated myotubes (5S, ▲ and ThG, ■ respectively). Data were expressed as mean ± SEM and compared with the control condition. **p < 0.01: significantly different from control (n = 15; N = 3 independent cultures).
