Figure 5. NRG1-β1 in Human Fetal Lungs.

Figure 5

(A) Developmental changes in control lungs were studied from 11 to 36 wk of pregnancy. Upper: representative Western blot. A 45-kDa band corresponds to NRG1-β1 (the 55-kDa band is nonspecific [61]). Lower: densitometric analysis (arbitrary units [a.U.]) in 15 individuals showing a significant linear increase (r = 0.75, p = 0.001).

(B) Comparative study in seven pairs of age-matched CDH (lanes labeled H) and control (lanes labeled C) lungs. Upper: representative Western blot. Lower: densitometric analysis; there was no significant difference in expression level between CDH and control lungs (p = 0.58).
