Figure 3. ACE2 levels in cultures of treated and untreated human alveolar type-II A549 cells.

Figure 3

Cell confluence increased cell levels of ACE2 protein (A). Effects of 24 or 48 h treatment with candesartan and captopril on mRNA expression of ACE2 enzyme (B). Data are mean ± SEMs. *P<0.05 relative to sub-confluence (A) or untreated controls (B), #P<0.05 relative to 24 h treatment (one-way ANOVA with Student–Newman–Keuls method post hoc test or Kruskal–Wallis one-way analysis of variance on ranks with Student–Newman–Keuls Method post hoc test); PC, post-confluence; SC, sub-confluence.
