Effect of PKC activation (PMA), knockdown, or blocking of GLP-1R on exendin-4 (Ex-4)-stimulated inhibition of Ang II on phospho–c-Raf (p-c-Raf)(Ser338), phospho-Erk1/2 (p-Erk1/2), and PAI-1 activity in RGECs. A: Immunoblots of phospho–c-Raf(Ser259), phospho–c-Raf(Ser338), and phospho-Erk1/2 in RGECs stimulated with PMA (100 nmol/L) in the presence or absence of exendin-4 are shown. **P < 0.001 vs. PMA/exendin-4 and †P < 0.05 vs. PMA+/exendin-4. B: Immunoblots of phospho–c-Raf(Ser338) and phospho-Erk1/2 in RGECs stimulated with PMA in the presence or absence of GFX or RBX. *P < 0.05 vs. PMA/GFX/RBX; †P < 0.05 vs. PMA+/GFX/RBX. C: Immunoblots of phospho–c-Raf(Ser338) and phospho-Erk1/2 in RGECs stimulated with Ang II in the presence or absence of GFX or RBX. *P < 0.05 vs. Ang II/GFX/RBX; †P < 0.05 vs. Ang II+/GFX/RBX. D: Immunoblots of phospho–c-Raf(Ser259), phospho–c-Raf(Ser338), and phospho-Erk1/2 in RGECs transfected with small interfering GLP-1R or small interfering control, stimulated with Ang II in the presence or absence of exendin-4. **P < 0.001 vs. small interfering control/Ang II/exendin-4; †P < 0.05 vs. siControl/Ang II/exendin-4+; ‡P < 0.05 vs. siControl/Ang II+/exendin-4; ¶P < 0.05 vs. siControl/Ang II+/exendin-4+. E: Immunoblots of phospho–c-Raf(Ser259), phospho–c-Raf(Ser338), and phospho-Erk1/2 in RGECs stimulated with Ang II in the presence or absence of exendin-4 or exendin-3(9-39) [Ex-3(9-39)] are shown. **P < 0.001 vs. Ang II/exendin-4/exendin-3(9-39); †P < 0.05 vs. Ang II/exendin-4+/exendin-3(9-39); ‡P < 0.05 vs. Ang II+/exendin-4/exendin-3(9-39); ¶P < 0.05 vs. Ang II+/exendin-4+/exendin-3(9-39). One of three independently performed experiments is shown. Comparisons were made between groups using either two-sample and paired t tests for two-way comparisons or one-way ANOVA for multiple groups to establish statistically significant differences. Results are expressed as means ± SD. AU, arbitrary units.
