Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5. Glycomimetic 15 influences BMPRII: BMP-2 and BMP-2: cell surface interactions. Ai – Co-immunoprecipitation and Western blot of BMP-2 (125 nM) with BMPRII Fc chimera (250 nM) ± increasing concentrations of either glycomimetic 15 or 18. Aii – Log2 fold change of densitometry values obtained from three in dependent co-immunoprecipitation experiments – bars represent mean log2 fold change ±95 % CI, normalized to BMPRII + BMP-2 alone. Bi – Flow cytometry histograms of C2C12 cells stained with BMP-2 (black histogram) ± increasing concentrations of glycomimetic 15 (red histogram) or glycomimetic 18 (blue histo gram). Bii – Cell surface binding of BMP-2 to C2C12 cells incubated with increasing concentrations of glycomimetic 15 (red) or glycomimetic 18 (blue) – data is mean geometric mean fluorescence ± S.D. normalized to BMP-2 alone. All data either constitutes (Aii, Bii) or is representative of (Ai, Bi) three independent experiments. Statistical analysis was performed via one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc testing (Aii) or two-way ANOVA with ˇSíd´ak or Bonferroni post hoc testing (Bii). Sig nificance is denoted by *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001.
