Figure Lengend Snippet: A, Representative images of western blot analyses of the pharmacological effect of the ANO1 inhibitor, T16Ainh-A01 (T16Ai), on intracellular signaling pathways in HLF. Serum-starved (48 hr) cells were pretreated for 1 hr with T16Ai, followed by treatment with TGF-β (1 ng/ml) for either 30 min (p-Smad2, Smad2), or 48 hr (p-MLC, MLC, p-AKT, AKT). B, Quantification of p-MLC and p-AKT immunoreactivities in T16Ai-treated cells. Data represent the mean immunoreactivity values ±SD normalized to TGF-β group within the same experiment. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, vs. TGF-β group, Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s post hoc correction. Brace brackets, #p<0.05; ##, p<0.01, are the results of preplanned comparisons of the TGFβ effect in cells treated with or without T16Ai, one population t-test. C, Representative images of western blot analyses of the effects of the siRNA targeting ANO1 (siANO1) on intracellular signaling pathways in HLF. HLF cells were transfected with the siRNA targeting ANO1 (siANO1) or control RNA (siCont) for 24 hrs, serum starved for 48 hrs, and treated with TGFβ (1 ng/ml) for either 30 min (p-Smad2, Smad2), or for 48 hr (p-MLC, MLC, p-AKT, AKT). D, Quantification of p-MLC and p-AKT immunoreactivities in siCont and siANO1-treated cells. Data represent mean immunoreactivity values ±SD normalized to β-actin loading control and TGF-β group within the same experiment. * *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001, vs. TGF-β group, Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s post hoc correction. Brace brackets, ###p<0.001; ####, p<0.0001, are the results of preplanned comparisons of the TGF-β effect in cells treated with control siRNA (siC) or siANO1, one population t-test.
