Article Title: Phosphoproteome Reveals the Role of Baicalin in Alleviating rPVL-Induced Cell Cycle Arrest in BMECs
doi: 10.3390/microorganisms13071673
Figure Lengend Snippet: rPVL inhibited the phosphorylation of BCLAF1 S285 , CDK7 T170 , NF2 S518 , and PKM2 S37 , whereas baicalin reversed the hypophosphorylation of these cell-cycle-related proteins induced by rPVL. ( A – D ) Representative immunofluorescence images of P-BCLAF1 S285 /P-CDK7 T170 /P-NF2 S518 /P-PKM2 S37 . ( E – H ) Quantification of immunofluorescence images. The results indicated that after rPVL treatment, the fluorescence intensity of the phosphorylated proteins described above decreased. However, when baicalin was administered prior to rPVL exposure, the inhibitory effect of rPVL on the phosphorylation of these cell-cycle-related proteins decreased, leading to an increase in fluorescence intensity. ( I ) The expression of cell-cycle-related proteins in BMECs was analyzed through Western blotting. ( J – M ) Western blot analysis revealed that the phosphorylation levels of BCLAF1 S285 , CDK7 T170 , NF2 S518 , and PKM2 S37 decreased following rPVL treatment but increased after baicalin intervention. The asterisks (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, and **** p < 0.0001) indicate significant differences between groups.
