Western blot analysis of LDL-R protein expression. (a) Is a representative immunoblot for LDL-R and β-actin. The protein-specific bands separate at 160, 130, and at 110 kDa, according to the producer’s specifications. (b) Relative LDL-R protein expression in SUM149, MDA-MB-231, and MCF10a cells as a result of FBS, LPDS, and LDL treatments. Densitometry was performed and data is presented as expression relative to β-Actin loading controls (* ). Error bars represent S.E.M. and all experiments were performed at least three separate times.
