Figure Lengend Snippet: Proteins encoded by the genes associated with HCEnC function and corneal endothelial dystrophies were assessed by Western blotting. (A) Proteins from 5/6 (AQP1, ATP1A1, CDH2 and ZO1), 6/6 (AQP1, ATP1A1, CDH2, GPC4 and ZO1) and 3/6 (ATP1A1, CDH2 and ZO1) genes associated with HCEnC function were detected in evHCEnC, pHCEnC and the three HCEnC lines, respectively. (B) Proteins from 4/4 (COL8A2, SLC4A11, TCF4 and ZEB1), 3/4 (COL8A2, SLC4A11 and ZEB1), 1/4 (ZEB1) and 2/4 (COL8A2 and ZEB1) genes associated with corneal endothelial dystrophies were detected in evHCEnC, pHCEnC, HCEnC-21T and the two (HCEC-12 and HCEC-B4G12) related cell lines, respectively. These are representative blots from three independent samples for each HCEnC group (Table 1). The detection of the RAB7 protein was used as a loading control.
