Fig 6. O-GlcNAcylation favors induction of smooth muscle actin.

Fig 6

A: Immunoblot (with mouse heart lysate as positive control), and B: densitometric analysis demonstrating a robust early (day 5) and significant increase in smooth muscle actin (SMA) expression during differentiation. SMA remained elevated for extended periods of differentiation (7 to 21 d). C: Immunoblot, and D: densitometry revealing that higher O-GlcNAc levels (maintained with TMG) induced a significantly higher level of SMA expression 5 days post-differentiation than Veh treated differentiating cells. Individual data points are plotted and the horizontal line represents the mean, n>/ = 3/group, *p < 0.05 vs day 0/Control; #: p < 0.05 vs Veh +5AZA.
