Effects of caveolin-1 deficiency on epithelial parameters by immunoblotting. (a) Representative immunoblots of WT (n = 6) and Cav1-deficient (Cav1−/−; n = 6) kidney lysates detected by antibodies to Cav1, alpha subunit of Na/K-ATPase (Na+/K+), NKCC1/2 (antibody recognizes both NKCC isoforms), AQP1, V2R, NKCC2, phosphorylated (p) NKCC2 (pT96/T101-NKCC2), NCC, pNCC (pS71-NCC), AQP2, pAQP2 (pS256-AQP2), alpha subunit of epithelial sodium channel (ENaCα) and aquaporin 4 (AQP4); β-actin serves as loading control below the respective blots; all molecular weight levels are approximate. (b) Densitometric quantification of the immunoreactive signals normalized to the respective loading controls. Data is expressed as the mean ± standard deviation; *p < 0.05 (Student’s t test for normal distribution); original immunoblot scans are available in Supplementary Data.
