Figure Lengend Snippet: Relative HSP abundances in whole skeletal muscle homogenates from young adults and older adults pre and post HIT exercise. Representative Westen blots of (A) HSP72, HSP27, and αB-crystallin and (B) phosphorylated HSP27 Ser15 (pHSP27 Ser15) and pαB-crystallin Ser59 in whole muscle homogenates from the vastus lateralis of the same individuals. Calibration curves of mixed muscle homogenates are indicated and were used to determine the relative number of given proteins (see Methods). Stain-free gels are indicative of total protein loading, and molecular weights are indicated by markers collected under white light capture without moving the membrane between that and chemiluminescence detection. Relative abundances of (C) HSP72, (D) HSP27, (E) pHSP27 Ser15, (F) αB-crystallin, and (G) pαB-crystallin Ser59 from young (circle) and older adults Pre (square) and older adults Post (triangle) HIT exercise are shown relative to average Old (pre) on a given gel (data are presented as mean ± SD). Individuals indicated by the number of symbols ( n : 5–7), with the same color assigned to the same individual and consistent across all graphs. * p ≤ 0.05 indicates Brown-Forsye and Welch’s and post hoc analysis using Games-Horwell.

doi: 10.1097/CAD.0000000000001792

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic illustration of EP4-mediated regulation of bortezomib resistance in multiple myeloma. EP4 expression decreases in bortezomib-resistant cells. EP4 overexpression restores sensitivity by inhibiting PI3K/AKT signaling, increasing ER stress, and promoting apoptosis. This mechanism suggests EP4 as a potential therapeutic target for overcoming bortezomib resistance. PI3K/AKT, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B.
