Figure Lengend Snippet: The changes of p-p44/p42 and pJNK. A : After transfected with siCON and siTRPM8, MG-63 (a) and U2OS (b) cells were treated with 500ng/ml EPI for the indicated time and then western blot was performed to investigate the p-p44/p42 and p44/p42. (c) The results of the western blot were quantified and expressed in histograms. B : (a) After 48h EPI treatment, p-p44/p42 was analyzed in each sample by western blot. (b) The quantitative data of the western blot and statistic analysis was performed by One-Way ANOVA, ** P <0.01, * P <0.05. C : Cells were prepared as indicated in material and methods, and p-JNK and JNK was analyzed by western blot. Knockdown of TRPM8 had no influence on the phosphorylation of JNK (a); however, after EPI treatment it enhanced the phosphorylation of JNK (b). (c) The results of western blot in (b) were quantified and One-Way ANOVA was applied for the statistic analysis, * P <0.05. D : (a) p-MEK, MEK and MKP-1 was investigated by western blot in Parental, siCON and siTRPM8 cells. (b) The results of western blot were quantified and One-Way ANOVA was applied for the statistic analysis, * P <0.05.
Article Snippet: After antigen retrieval by microwave, new born calf serum was added as blocking agent, and10min later, rabbit polyclonal anti-TRPM8 antibody (1:100, Cat #: ACC-049, Alomone Labs, Jerusalem, Israel) was added to incubate overnight (4°C) and then anti-rabbit IgG (BOSTER, China) was added to incubate for 20min at room temperature.
Techniques: Transfection, Western Blot
