“…Frozen nigrostriatal brain tissues were homogenized and mixed with lysis buffer to determine protein content and for immunoblotting, as described previously [35]. The membrane was incubated overnight at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: anti-LRRK2 (Abcam, ab133474, 1:5000); anti-phospho-LRRK2 (Ser 935 , Abcam, ab133450, 1:1000); anti-phospho-LRRK2 (Ser 1292 , Abcam, ab203181, 1:1000); anti-Smad2 (Cell Signaling, 5339T, 1:1000); anti-phospho-Smad2 (Ser465/467, Cell Signaling, 3108T, 1:1000); anti-Smad3 (Cell Signaling, 9523T, 1:1000); anti-phospho-Smad3 (Ser423/425, Abcam, ab52903, 1:1000); and anti-beta actin (Sigma-Aldrich, A5441, 1:5000).…”
