Figure 5. Effects of BAPN and genipin on other ECM molecules.

Figure 5

(a) Quantitative RT-PCR of mRNA for various ECM molecules in TM cells treated for 24 hours with BAPN or genipin. Results are shown as a percentage of their respective controls. Data are average ± standard error of the mean. N = 4–6; *p < 0.05. (b) Representative Western immunoblots for CD44, fibronectin, fibrillin-1, tenascin C, elastin and versican produced by TM cells treated for 48 hours with BAPN or genipin. Serum-free (SF) control is the vehicle for BAPN and DMSO is the control for genipin. (c) Densitometry of each of the bands relative to its control. When multiple bands were present, the strongest band was evaluated. Data are average ± standard error of the mean. N = 3; *p < 0.05.
