Effects of SIRT7 silencing on EndoMT in primary pulmonary endothelial cells. (A) WB for SIRT7, VE-Cadherin, PECAM1, α-SMA, and Snail in CTRL- or SIRT7-silenced HPAEC. Densitometry values (RDU) for VE-Cadherin relative to GAPDH (shown in Supplementary Figure 8C), PECAM1 relative to relative to α-tubulin, and α-SMA and Snail relative to GAPDH (Supplementary Figure 8H) are shown in each panel. (B) Representative IF images for VE-Cadherin and PECAM1 in CTRL- or SIRT7-silenced HPAEC. Bars represent average pixel intensities and brackets standard deviations of 6 images per condition. (C) WB for SIRT7 and PECAM1 in CTRL- or SIRT7-silenced HPMVEC. Densitometry values for PECAM1 relative to α-tubulin (RDU) are shown. (D) IF for VE-Cadherin and PECAM1 in CTRL- or SIRT7-silenced HPMVEC. Bars represent average pixel intensities and brackets standard deviations of 6 images per condition. Significant differences (P < 0.05) are denoted by stars. P values were calculated using the Student’s t-test. In (A,C), different proteins for the same group of samples are demarcated by white spaces.
