doi: 10.3390/ijms25010339
Figure Lengend Snippet: BFA-induced COPI vesicle disruption inhibits osteogenic effect. ( A , B ) Representative immunofluorescence images staining for β-COP (red) and the quantitative analysis of β-COP expression in control (CON) or osteogenic differentiation medium (ODM) condition for 3 d. The nucleus was highlighted by DAPI. Scale bar: 5 μm. n = 5 per group. ( C , D ) Western blot of COPI proteins (α-COP and β-COP) and quantitative analysis. n = 3 per group. ( E , F ) Representative immunofluorescence images staining for β-COP (red) and the quantitative analysis of β-COP expression with or without Brefeldin A (BFA) in ODM condition for 3 d. The nucleus was highlighted by DAPI. Scale bar: 5 μm. n = 5 per group. ( G , H ) Western blot of COPI proteins (α-COP and β-COP) and quantitative analysis. n = 3 per group. ( I , J ) ALP staining ( I ) and the quantitative analysis ( J ). Scale bar: 150 μm. n = 3 per group. ( K , L ) Western blot of mineralization-related proteins and quantitative analysis. n = 3 per group. Data are means ± SD, and p values were quantified using t test. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: The primary antibodies LC3B (A19665, ABclonal, Wuhan, China), BECLIN1 (A21695, ABclonal, Wuhan, China), α-COP (A19651, ABclonal, Wuhan, China), and β-COP (ab2899, Abcam, Boston, MA, USA) were used.
