Figure 1. HIV gp120 induces mucus formation and increases MUC5AC and GABAARα2 expression in NHBE cells.

Figure 1

(A): NHBE cells were treated with 10, 33, and 100 ng/ml of gp120LAV for 48 hr and the mucus in the inserts was visualized by AB-PAS staining. (B): NHBE cells were treated with 100 ng/ml of gp120LAV, gp120MN, or gp120ZM and examined for mucus formation by AB-PAS staining. (C): The expression of MUC5AC and GABAARα2 by qPCR. Each experiment was repeated at least three times. Error bars on MUC5AC and GABAARα2 qPCR analysis represent mean ± SEM from three inserts.
