Figure 2. Cardiac CSN6 loss accelerated desmosomal protein dissolution in vivo.
(A and C) Protein blot analyses (A) and quantification of protein expression levels (C) in total protein extracts from Csn6-iKO and control hearts at 2 weeks after tamoxifen injection (n = 5 per group). (B and D) Protein blot analyses (B) and quantification of protein expression levels (D) in total protein extracts from Csn6-iKO and control hearts at 6 weeks after tamoxifen injection (n = 3 per group). FA, fascia adherens; GJ, gap junction. The expression levels of proteins were normalized to the loading control GAPDH. Data are represented as mean ± SEM; 2-way ANOVA with Šidák’s multiple comparison test. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
