Western Blot Shows Human MMP‑1 Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line.
Western blot shows lysates of PC-3 human prostate cancer parental cell line and MMP-1 knockout PC-3 cell line (KO). PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human MMP-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB901) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog #
HAF018). A specific band was detected for MMP-1 at approximately 50 kDa (as indicated) in the parental PC-3 cell line, but is not detectable in knockout PC-3 cell line. GAPDH (Catalog #
AF5718) is shown as a loading control. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Inhibition of PKC alpha decreases the protein expression of MMP‐1 and MMP‐9 induced by cell cross‐talk in SMC. A, Evaluation of PKC alpha activation in control SMC (S NG) vs SMC previously co‐cultured with MAC in HG (Sc HG). Note that, the phosphorylated form of PKC alpha is significantly increased in SMC that were before exposed to MAC in HG conditions. Silencing of CCR2 or p65 decreases the phosphorylation of PKC alpha to control levels. B, Effect of PKC alpha inhibitor – Go 6976 on the MMP‐1 and MMP‐9 protein expression induced by SMC‐MAC cross‐talk. S NG – control SMC, Sc NG – SMC which were co‐cultured with MAC in normal glucose, Sc HG ‐ SMC which were co‐cultured with MAC in high glucose, Sc HGGo ‐ SMC which were co‐cultured with MAC in high glucose in presence of 1 μmol/L Go 6976. n = 3, *P < .05, **P < .01, #P < .05, ##P < .01 Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29992758), licensed under a CC-BY license.
