Fig 4. Cell proliferation induced by Ang-II/ACE involves clathrin- mediated internalization process.
(A) Cell growth assay of CHO-ACE cells 12, 24 and 48 hours after stimulation with Ang-II (1μM), triplicate in 3 individual experiments. (B) Western blot to confirm the silencing of clathrin (upper panel) and densitometry analysis (bottom panel). Mean ± S.E.M., n = 5 (* p<0.05). (C) BrDU incorporation is decreased in CHO-ACE cells transfected with siRNA-Cla (Clathrin) and stimulated with Ang-II (1μM). Mean ± S.E.M., n = 6 (* p<0.05).
