A. FLAG immunoblot in FLAG-WT- and FLAG-V174A-OATP1B1-expressing HeLa cells. HeLa cells were transfected with an expression vector encoding FLAG-WT-, FLAG-V174A-OATP1B1, or Fugene HD reagent alone. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, FLAG immunoblot was conducted with β-actin as the loading control. The mixed-effect model estimated fold change and associated SE in FLAG-OATP1B1 expression of V174A-OATP1B1 vs. WT-OATP1B1 control was expressed as mean ± SE (n=3 in duplicate). B. Mixed-effect model-estimated fold change and associated SE of [3H]E217βG (1 μM, 2 min) of V174A-OATP1B1 vs. WT-OATP1B1 (*, p<0.05, n=3, in triplicate). In each individual experiment, [3H]E217βG accumulation mediated by WT- or V174A-OATP1B1 was normalized by relative OATP1B1 protein levels in whole cell lysates.
