Detection of Mouse Osteopontin/OPN by Western Blot

Altered expression of ECM proteins in Cyp1b1-/- LSEC.Western blot analysis of ECM proteins in the conditioned medium (CM) and cell lysates from LSEC was performed. (A) The levels of SPARC, Tenascin-C, TSP2, and Osteopontin were below the level of detection. Cyp1b1 LSEC produced TSP1, periostin, and fibronectin. (B) The quantitative assessment of the data. TSP1 level was significantly decreased in lysates from Cyp1b1-/- LSEC (***P< 0.001; n = 3), while periostin level was increased in lysates from Cyp1b1-/- LSEC. The level of fibronectin secreted into the conditioned medium was decreased in Cyp1b1-/- LSEC. These experiments were repeated with two isolation of LSEC with similar results.
