Figure Lengend Snippet: Term-Exos promoted the expression of lung development related proteins. A : WB examined the expressions of SPC and RhoA in E13.5 lung tissues. In term-Exos group, the expression of SPC and RhoA were obviously increasing. B : WB examined the expressions of SPC and RhoA in E18.5 lung tissues. Like which in E13.5 group, the expression of SPC and RhoA were improved in term-Exos groups. C : The expression of ABCA3 and SPB were examined by WB, which showed the expressions of ABCA3 in E13.5 and E18.5 stage were increasing after term-Exos injection, while the expressions of SPB precursor and mature SPB in E18.5 were obviously promoted after term-Exos injection. D , E , F : Real-time PCR examined the mRNA expressions of SFTPC, RhoA and ABCA3 in E13.5 and E18.5 lung tissue. Among E13.5 groups, the expression of ABCA3 mRNA was obviously increasing after term-Exos injection compared with the control while there were no significant differences in E18.5 ( n =3, *P<0.05, **P<0.01 ). Among E18.5 groups, the expression of SFTPC mRNA was increasing after term-Exos injection, while in E13.5, the result was opposite ( n =3, *P<0.05,**P<0.01 ). The expression of RhoA mRNA, however, was seemed to be inhibited after preterm-Exos use which was lower than that of term-Exos group, and there was no significant differences between the control and term-Exos group (n=3, *P<0.05,**P<0.01 )
Article Snippet: Overnight at 4 °C, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies, which included monoclonal antibodies against SPC (Sigma, USA), ROCK1 (Cell Signaling Technology, USA) and p-ROCK1 (Invitrogen, USA), polyclonal antibodies against RhoA (Cell Signaling Technology, USA), Wnt5a (abcam, UK), LC3B (Cell Signaling Technology, USA), Atg5 (Abcam, UK), SPB (Santa cruz biotechnology, USA) and ABCA3 (Bioss, CHN), as well as a monoclonal antibody against β-actin (Millipore, US).
