Figure Lengend Snippet: Changes in plectin abundance after DA exposure. ( A ) Representative western blot of plectin (PLEC) from epithelial cell culture homogenates at Days 1, 2 and 4 after DA exposure (5.7 and 8.6 mM). ( B ) Semi-quantification of PLEC abundance normalized to lane total protein that decreased significantly at Day 4 in cultures exposed to 8.6 mM DA compared to controls (ANOVA, *p < 0.05; n = 4/group).
Article Snippet: Ten micrograms (μg) total protein were resolved in stain-free, pre-cast 4–15% gradient Tris–Glycine gel (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA), and stained with primary antibodies of keratin 5 (KRT5; 1:2000, Biolegend, San Diego, CA), integrin beta 4 (ITGβ4, CD104; 1:1000, Invitrogen, Waltham, MA), and plectin (PLEC; 1:1000, ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA).
