Figure 3. Inflammation increases ERα and ERβ protein expression in non-asthmatic ASM cells.

Figure 3

Human ASM cells from non-asthmatics were treated with pro-inflammatory cytokines either 20ng/ml TNFα or 50ng/ml IL-13 for 48h and harvested for protein expression studies using cell lysis buffer. Cytokine exposure significantly increased the expression of both ERα and ERβ in comparison to vehicle. N=4–6, each group; *indicates significant difference from vehicle; P<0.05.
