Role of FOXO3a in homocysteine-induced ferritin upregulation. A Immunoblotting for p-FOXO3a using lysate from HUVEC cells having been treated with 3 mM Hcy for the indicated time periods. The numbers on top of the immunoreactive bands represent a change in protein levels relative to control. B Immunoblotting for ferritin L, ferritin H and FOXO3a using lysate from HUVEC cells transfected with siRNA against FOXO3a. Blots were stripped and reprobed with anti-β-actin antibody to normalize for differences in protein loading. Bar graphs on the right panel of the figure present the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments relative to control where "a" represents statistical significance at p < 0.05 as compared to control (paired t test). C Ferritin L and ferritin H mRNA levels in HUVEC cell line transfected with siRNA against FOXO3a. mRNA levels were measured by qPCR. Data are shown as means ± SD of three independent experiments carried out in duplicate ("a" represents significance at p < 0.05, as compared with control siRNA transfected cells ( paired t test)
