Northern blot analysis for (A) NADPH
oxidase subunit gp91phox and (B)
KH2O2 channel subunit (KV3.3a). Lanes: 1, human
mononuclear cell RNA extract (control); 2, human lung; 3, fetal rabbit
lung; 4–9, SCLC cell lines (H-727, H-345, H-128, H69V, H-69, and
H-146). Each lane has 15 μg total RNA and was analyzed by Northern
blotting and hybridized with 32P-labeled
gp91phox and KV3.3a RNA antisense probe, respectively. In
both cases the expected mRNA size of ≈4.7 kb for gp91phox
and ≈4.8 kb for KV3.3a was detected as described in previous reports
(9, 12).
