Article Title: Large-Scaled Metabolic Profiling of Human Dermal Fibroblasts Derived from Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum Patients and Healthy Controls

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0108336

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Quantification of ABCC6 mRNA expression in human dermal fibroblasts from healthy controls (n = 5; white) and PXE patients (n = 6; black). Effect of siRNA-mediated knockdown on ABCC6 gene expression: fibroblasts transfected with a scramble siRNA-negative control (siNK, n = 3; white); ABCC6-specific siRNA-treated cells (siABCC6, n = 3; black). Expression levels are normalized to reference gene expressions (ACTB, GAPDH, ß2M). Data are presented in arbitrary units as means with corresponding standard error. Differences between controls and PXE fibroblasts, as well as between siRNA-transfected cells, were analyzed using unpaired t-test with Welch's correction. (b) Western Blot analysis of ABCC6 in fibroblasts of healthy controls, PXE patients and siRNA- treated cells. Western blot analysis was performed with pooled protein samples from each group, with GAPDH as normalization control. HEK-293 cell lysates were used as an additional blotting control. (c) Representative Western Blot for fibroblasts of healthy controls, PXE patients and (d) siRNA- treated cells.

Article Snippet: Dermal fibroblasts from six healthy controls (NHDF) were purchased from Promocell (Heidelberg, Germany), Genlantis (San Diego, USA), Cambrex (Walkersville, USA) and Coriell (New Jersey, USA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Microscopic analysis of different cell types seeded on PLA discs. ( A ) hOB (human primary osteoblasts; ( B ) normal human dermal fibroblasts: NHDF; ( C ) human umbilical vein endothelial cells: HUVEC; and ( D ) osteosarcoma cells: SaOS-2. Scale bars represent 400 µm.

Article Snippet: Normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF, Promega, Karlsruhe, Germany), human primary osteoblasts (hOB [ , ]), osteoblast-like cells (SaOS, ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and endothelial cells (HUVEC, Promega, Karlsruhe, Germany) were seeded onto discs, into or onto cages, respectively, sitting in a 24-well ultra-low attachment plate.
