Bortezomib Inhibits Hypoxia-Induced Proliferation by Suppressing Caveolin-1/SOCE/[Ca2+]i Signaling Axis in Human PASMCs

Figure 1

Effects of short-term treatments of bortezomib (BTZ) or chloroquine (CHQ) on Caveolin-1 protein expression in normoxic and hypoxic (4% O2) human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Western blots (a) and bar graph (b) representing the protein expression level of Caveolin-1, p21, and LC3B upon treatment with BTZ (10 nM) or CHQ (μM) for 3, 6, and 12 hours in human PASMCs under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Beta tubulin was used as house-keeping protein. The bar graph represents the , in each group; , & as indicated.
