Glycosylation level affectsGpnmb function. A. Structural domain of GPNMB protein. B. Molecular weight of GPNMB changed from 95 kD to 65 kD following treatment with 5 μg/ml of tunicamycin. C. Representative western blot results showing an action time of 16 h following treatment with 5 μg/ml of tunicamycin. D. Representative western blot results showing that the Gpnmb-OE group causes a reversal of the tunicamycin-induced elevation in α-SMA, COL1, and FN1 proteins compared to the Gpnmb-NC group. E. *P < 0.05 indicates that the α-SMA protein levels were higher in the Gpnmb-OE group than in the control group; #P < 0.05 indicates that the COL1 expression levels were lower in the Gpnmb-OE group than in the control group after tunicamycin treatment; and &P < 0.05 indicates that FN1 expression levels were lower in the Gpnmb-OE group than in the control group after tunicamycin treatment
