Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) increases the protein level of caveolin 1 (Cav1) and mitochondrial carrier homolog 2 (MTCH2) in HeLa cells. (A) HeLa cells were treated with the vehicle or DHA for 36 h and then harvested for western blot analysis to detect the protein level of Cav1. β-tubulin was used as a loading control. (B) HeLa cells were treated with te vehicle or DHA for 36 h and then harvested for western blot analysis to detect the protein level of MTCH2. β-tubulin was used as a loading control. (C and D) Quantification of the protein levels of Cav1 and MTCH2 in A and B, respectively. Values were normalized against β-tubulin. Data are presented as the means ± SEM of 3 independent experiments. ^*P<0.05 compared with the vehicle control group.
