DJ-1 and XLF interaction in freshly isolated ATII cells from patients with emphysema identified by mass spectrometry analysis. DJ-1 was co-immunoprecipitated in ATII cells obtained from non-smokers (NS), smokers (SM) and patients with emphysema (EM) followed by mass spectrometry analysis. The presence of DJ-1 (A) and its interaction with XLF (B) is shown in emphysema (N = 3 per group). Results were validated by co-immunoprecipitation of DJ-1 followed by Western blotting analysis of XLF expression in ATII cells obtained from non-smokers, smokers and patients with emphysema (C) and densitometric quantification (N = 6 per group; *P < 0.05) (D). Data is shown as means ± s.e.m.
