Dexamethasone increases the expression of POMC, PC1/3 and the POMC cleavage product, β-LPH, in rat BMSC cultures enriched for mesenchymal progenitors. In (a) cultures were left untreated (−) or treated with 10−8 M dexamethasone (+) for 2 and 5 days. Protein lysates were subjected to SDSPAGE (50 µg/lane). β-actin was used to normalize loading. Densitometry measurements are indicated below the corresponding lanes. Band intensities were normalized to the loading control and are presented as fold change from the untreated (−) cultures. In (b) whole protein lysates were prepared from cultures untreated (--) or treated with 10−8 M or 10−7 M dexamethasone and subjected to SDS-PAGE (30 µg/lane). β-actin was used to normalize loading. Densitometry measurements are indicated below the corresponding lanes. Band intensities were normalized to the loading control and are presented as fold change from the untreated (--) cultures.
