Figure Lengend Snippet: FIG. 6. Induction of FXR protein expression by various FXR agonists. A, HepG2 cells were treated with 50 M CDCA at various time points, and the FXR protein was determined by Western blot analysis followed by quantitation with densitometry. Results are nor- malized as fold of control (treated cells versus vehicle), and data are the mean of two determinations. B and C, HepG2 cells were treated with indicated concentration (M) of bile acids (B) or GW4064 (C) for 24 h in DMEM containing 0.5% CS-FBS. At the end of the incubation, nuclear extracts were prepared using a nuclear and cytoplasmic extraction kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 20 g of total nuclear pro- teins was separated by 4–20% SDS-PAGE. Western blotting was carried out following the manufacturer’s instructions using the polyclonal rabbit anti-human FXR antibody and donkey anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to horseradish peroxidase and the ECL chemiluminescence kit. DMSO, Me2SO.
