Figure Lengend Snippet: A . Total proteins for α-, β-, and γ-ENaC, CFTR, α-β-Na,K-ATPase subunits and CaSR. Control (lanes 1-2). 150μg/ml LMW-HA 4hrs (lanes 3-4). LMW-HA 24hrs (lanes 5-6), LMW-HA + 1μM NPS-2143 (lanes 7-8), and LMW-HA + HMW-HA (lanes 9-10). LMW-HA reduced ENaC subunits, CFTR, Na,K-ATPase subunits expression as early as 4hrs. However, it stimulated the expression of CaSR protein expression. 1μ M NPS-2143 and 150μg/ml HMW-HA restored ENaC subunits, CFTR, Na,K-ATPase subunits, and CaSR expression to their control levels. B-H . Quantification of western blot data in A for ENaC subunits, CFTR, Na,K-ATPase subunits and CaSR. Combined results of different 5 blots from 5 different MTEC cultures. Data are Means ± SE, n=5. Significance was determined by 1-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey test for multiple comparisons.
Article Snippet: Commercially available antibodies to α-ENaC (H59, Santa Cruz), β-ENaC (sc-25354, Santa Cruz), and γ-ENaC (ab-3468, Abcam), CFTR protein (ab2478, Abcam) and Na,K-ATPase α-subunit (ab76020, Abcam) and β1-subunit (sc21713, Santa Cruz) were used to assess the expression of each ion channel.
