ILO-PC induces more prolonged activation of Rac1 and Rap1 GTPase signaling in pulmonary EC. EC monolayers were stimulated with ILO (0.5 µM) or ILO-PC (0.5 µM) for indicated periods of time. (A) Rac-GTP pulldown assay. (A) Rap-GTP pulldown assay. (C) Phosphorylation of Rac1 targets PAK1 and cortactin was evaluated by western blot with corresponding phospho-specific antibodies. Membrane probing for β-tubulin was used as a normalization control. Bar graphs depict quantitative densitometry analysis of western blot data; n = 3; *p < 0.05. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. Biological replicates indicated by (n). Statistical significance by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s post hoc multiple-comparison test.
