Pulmonary EC grown to confluence on Flexcell plates were pre-treated with iloprost (200 ng/ml, 15 min) and exposed to 18% CS for indicated time periods. Phosphorylation of MLC (A) and MYPT (B) was detected by western blot with phospho-specific antibodies. HPAEC were further stimulated with thrombin (0.1 U/ml, 15 or 30 min) with or without iloprost (200 ng/ml, 15 min) pretreatment. Phosphorylated MLC (C) and MYPT (D) were detected by immunoblotting with specific antibodies. Results are representative of three to six independent experiments.
