Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of integrin β1 depletion on cellular and secreted mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) and ROS levels in NCI–H292 cells. A, NCI–H292 cells were transfected with integrin β1 siRNA (β1 siRNA, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) or control siRNA (CNTL), and cultured on a 96-well plate. Integrin β1 and β-actin protein levels were detected via immunoblotting and measured using ChemiDoc. B, MUC5AC levels in the integrin β1 siRNA (β1 siRNA, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) or control siRNA (CNTL), transfected cells were detected using the dot blot method and measured (cellular). C, MUC5AC levels in the culture medium of the in the integrin β1 siRNA (β1 siRNA, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) or control siRNA (CNTL), transfected cells were detected via the dot blot method and measured (secreted). D, MUC5AC levels in the integrin β1 siRNA (β1 siRNA, Thermo Fisher) or control siRNA (CNTL), transfected cells were detected using the dot blot method and measured (cellular). E, MUC5AC levels in the culture medium of the integrin β1 siRNA (β1 siRNA, Thermo Fisher) or control siRNA (CNTL), transfected cells were detected via the dot blot method and measured (secreted). F, ROS levels in the integrin β1 siRNA (β1 siRNA, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) or control siRNA (CNTL), transfected cells were detected by hydrogen peroxide/peroxidase assay (cellular). Fold changes were based on control cells (mean ± standard deviation, n = 5). Fold changes were normalized for cell numbers. Student's t-test was used to obtain p -values. Asterisks indicate statistical significance, * p < 0.05. Representative results for three independent experiments are presented.
Article Snippet: First, siRNA for integrin β1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) was transfected into NCI–H292 cells, and integrin β1 protein levels were measured via western blotting.
