Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) PPAR- γ -dependency of the rosiglitazone effect on mesothelial MCP-1 release. MC were preincubated with GW-9662 10 μ M for 24 hours (or with control media) and then incubated with the given conditions for 8 hours. Cell supernatants were examined by ELISA. *indicates a P value < 0.05 ( n = 5). (b) PPAR- γ -dependency of the rosiglitazone effect on mesothelial MCP-1 mRNA expression. MC were preincubated with GW-9662 10 μ M for 24 hours (or with control media) and then incubated with the given conditions for 8 hours. Total RNA was extracted and examined by RT-PCR. The figure shows a representative experiment out of three independent ones.
Article Snippet: The membrane was blocked with 3% skim milk, incubated in a 1 : 1000 dilution of a rabbit polyclonal IgG-antibody against human PPAR γ -1 (SC-7196, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany) over night, and rinsed with PBS containing 0.1% Tween 20.
