Gene and protein expression in different organs. (a) PCR analysis of the organ profile of the COX-1-10aa-PGIS gene in CP-Tg mice. PCR was performed using the different organs of CP-Tg mice. An arrow indicates the 445-bp COX-1-10aa-PGIS. Lanes: 1) positive control, 2) negative control, 3) lung, 4) adipose tissue, 5) intestine, 6) brain, 7) heart, 8) liver, 9) pancreas, 10) wild-type tail, 11) uterus, 12) TG tail. (b) Western blot analysis of the different organs of the transgenic mice. The arrow indicates COX-1-10aa-PGIS protein expression at 130 kDa. Lanes: 1) lung, 2) heart, 3) intestine, 4) pancreas, 5) adipose tissue, 6) brain, 7) uterus and 8) liver. The blot was chopped to increase visualization, and the initial blot is attached as Supplementary Fig. 2. (ce) LC/MS analysis of AA metabolites, prostanoids in urine of the CT-Tg and wild-type mice. (c) Ratio of 6-keto-PGF to PGE2 in both TG and WT mice. (d) Ratio of 6-keto-PGF to TXB2 in both CP-Tg and WT mice. The above graph represents the mean ± SD (p < 0.001). (e) Amount of 6-keto-PGF, TXB2, and PGE2 in 24 h urine. The values are represented as mean ± SD.
