Article Title: Helicobacter pylori -Induced Decrease in Membrane Expression of Na,K-ATPase Leads to Gastric Injury
doi: 10.3390/biom14070772
Figure Lengend Snippet: Helicobacter pylori infection, reduced amount of Na,K-ATPase, and reduced Na,K-ATPase activity similarly decrease the TEER in human gastric organoids. ( A , B ) The TEER of 2D human gastric organoids grown on Transwell™ inserts and measured in an Endohm ® chamber was decreased after exposure to Helicobacter pylori ( A ) and in the presence of ouabain compared with the vehicle ( B ). Western blot showing the silencing of the Na,K-ATPase α 1 subunit ( C ). The TEER of 2D human gastric organoids grown on Transwell™ inserts and measured in an Endohm ® chamber was decreased after silencing the Na,K-ATPase α 1 subunit ( D ). Initial values of the TEER in 2D gastric organoids ranged from 800 to 1300 Ω×cm 2 . Mean ± SD, significant differences from control, t -test, n = 3, * p < 0.05 ( A , C , D ) and n = 5, ** p < 0.01 ( B ).
Article Snippet: Primary antibodies against Na,K-ATPase α 1 subunits (1:1000; mouse, Clone:C464.6, EMD, Millipore, Temecula, CA, USA) and Na-K-ATPase β1-subunits (1:1000; mouse, clone M17-P5-F11, Affinity Bioreagents, Golden, CO, USA) were used to detect Na,K-ATPase.
