Fig 2. Dexamethasone-induced differentiation.

Fig 2

A: Immunoblot showing decrease in total O-GlcNAcylated proteins 5 days post-differentiation (+Dex). B: Densitometry demonstrates a significant reduction in O-GlcNAc levels occur during dexamethasone-induced differentiation, relative to control, undifferentiated cells (-Dex). C: Differentiation-induced mRNA expression of early cardiac transcription factor Nkx2.5 is suppressed by maintenance of augmented O-GlcNAc levels during differentiation with the OGA inhibitor TMG. D: Early differentiation is also evidenced by enhanced cardiac actin expression, although unaffected by O-GlcNAcylation. Individual data points are plotted and the horizontal line represents the mean, n>/ = 4/group, *p < 0.05 vs–Dex/Control.
