mRNA and protein levels of candidate proteins in astrocyte cultures. (A) mRNA levels of the investigated candidate were investigated with qPCR. The mRNA levels were similar between wt and 2b5ho astrocytes (n ≥ 5), with the exception of the Fndc3c1 mRNA, which was increased in 2b5ho astrocytes. (B) The total protein levels of PROS1 and SLC3A2 were determined by Western blot. The graph shows the mean ± SD. The protein levels were increased in 2b5ho cultures compared to wt cultures (n ≥ 3). ∗∗p < 0.01. Post-translational modifications were overall not affected in 2b5ho astrocytes. Western blot analyses did not show whether PROS1 in astrocytes was post-translationally modified or not. Staining of all proteins (loading control) is shown in Supplementary Figure 4.
