Figure 6. Effects of IL‐6 on connexin43 protein expression in HL‐1 cardiomyocytes and Raw264.7 macrophages in culture.

Figure 6

A, Western blot for connexin(Cx)43 in cardiomyocytes at baseline (B) and after treatment with IL‐6 (100 pg/mL) for 24 hours, and (B) the corresponding histograms for Cx43 normalized to GAPDH (n=5; mean percentage decrease=54%). Two‐tails Mann‐Whitney test: **P<0.01. C, Western blot for Cx43 in macrophages at baseline (B) and after treatment with IL‐6 (100 pg/mL) for 24 hours, and (D) the corresponding histograms for Cx43 normalized to β‐actin (n=5; mean percentage decrease= 43%). Two‐tails Unpaired “t” test: **P<0.01.
