Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 1 GATA6 induces vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation. Human coronary artery smooth muscle cells were transduced with Ad-CMV- GATA6/Ad-CMV-null (A,B). Expression of GATA6 and some smooth muscle markers are presented in (A) at mRNA level and (B) at protein level. (C) Relative mRNA expression of targets after transfection with GapmeRs against GATA6. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3–6). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. α-actin (ACTA2), smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SM-MHC, MYH11), calponin (CNN1), and synaptopodin-2 (SYNPO2).
Article Snippet: Proteins were detected using commercially available primary antibodies against GATA6 (Cell Signaling #4253S, 1:1,000), αactin (Sigma-Aldrich #A5228, 1:1,000), smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (abcam #ab53219, 1:1,000), calponin (abcam #ab46794, 1:1,000), SMAD1 (cell signaling, #9743, 1:1000), SMAD3 (cell signaling, SMAD 2/3 antibody, #3102, 1:1000), Hsp90 (BD Biosciences #610418, 1:10,000) at 4°C overnight.
