MMP

Proliferation indices of SU-pcGBM2 cells exposed to plain medium (aCSF) or active conditioned medium generated in the presence or absence of pan-MMP inhibitor (BAT).

ARPE-19 cells were seeded on Millicell inserts for growth to form the monolayer. Monolayers were treated with or without recombinant HIV-1 gp120 glycoprotein during the last 2 days of cell culture. Some samples were pretreated with anti-DC-SIGN antibodies or GM6001 before incubation with gp120. A, the TEER value was measured. B, the paracellular permeability for FITC-dextran flux was assessed. Date represent mean ± S.D. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001. Ω, ohm.

B) Representative immunoblot and quantitative analysis of the effect of SB-3CT on the decrease in claudin-5 (25 kDa) and (C) AQP4 (35 kDa) expressions induced by MDMA at 1 h (n=4-6).

(E, F) Uev1A mediates negative feedback of NF-κB signaling pathway is dependent on TACE activity. Forty-eight hours after transfection, the cells were pre-treated with BB-2516 (20 μM) for 1 h, followed by TNFα (40 ng/ml) treatment for 2 h. Cell was fixed and stained with antibodies against HA and p65. The same cells were also stained with DAPI to reveal nuclei. White arrows indicate UEV1A-overexpressed cells. (F) Quantitative analysis of the experiments shown in (E). Percentage of cells displaying nuclear p65 is shown for UEV1A- overexpressed or vector-transfected cells. Each sample contains about 1000 cells. The significance of differences was assessed by two-tailed Student's test (***P < 0.001).

NOB modulates Cps1 mRNA and protein expression. a Total protein extracts were prepared from liver samples collected from the four diet/treatment groups of wild-type mice at the indicated circadian time points (n = 3). Western blotting analysis was performed using anti-CPS1 antibody. RC regular chow, HFD high-fat diet, Veh vehicle, NOB Nobiletin. The results shown are representative of three independent experiments. See Additional file 1: Figure S1A for quantitative analysis. b Immunohistochemical staining of CPS1 in liver sections from mice with the indicated diet and treatment at ZT2. c Real-time RT-PCR analysis of Cps1 in liver samples collected as in (a). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3). Two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc tests shows significant statistical differences between HFD.Veh and other three groups (p < 0.0001). d Western blotting analysis of protein lysates of liver samples collected at ZT 6 and 18 from mice with the indicated diet and treatment (n = 3). HPD indicates high-protein diet. The images shown to the left are representative of three independent experiments. Quantitation of Western blots was carried out and the results, presented as mean ± SEM, are shown in the lower panel. Two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc tests, RC vs. HPD, ***p < 0.001. e Real-time qPCR analysis was carried out using total RNAs extracted from the liver samples described in (d). The results are presented as mean ± SEM. Two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc tests, RC vs. HPD, *p < 0.05.
