A, anti-hensin immunoblots of various sucrose density fractions of
conditioned medium from clone C cells cultured at high density in the absence
and presence of PPIase inhibitors CsA and Cs9. A control is cultured in the
presence of FK506 (calcineurin inhibitor). The bottom row indicates
where the high molecular mass marker proteins localize in the gradient
fractions. B, autoradiographs of conditioned medium collected at
various time points of chase immunoprecipitated with anti-hensin antibodies.
High density cells were cultured in the presence or absence of CsA, Cs9, and
FK506 overnight, pulse-labeled with 35S for 2 h, and chased at the
indicated times. The bottom panel is a graphical representation of
the statistical analysis of densitometric results obtained from three
independent experiments (for 4- and 6-h chase). C, autoradiographs of
total cell lysates obtained from 35S pulse-labeled cell cultures
described above at various time points of chase immunoprecipitated with
anti-hensin antibodies (top panel) and with anti-GAPDH antibody
(synthesis control, middle panel). The bottom panel shows
the relative hensin cDNA copy numbers obtained from quantitative RT-PCR
analysis of RNA extracted from clone C cells cultured in the absence or
presence of various PPIase inhibitor reagents as indicated in the labels (on
left).
