Gene Expression Profiling in Lungs of Chronic Asthmatic Mice Treated with Galectin-3: Downregulation of Inflammatory and Regulatory Genes

Figure 3

Western blot of SOCS3. (a) Protein extract from lungs was separated by 12% SDS-PAGE and blotted onto nitrocellulose membranes. Detection of SOCS3 was performed with goat antimouse IgG. Actin was used as the internal control. (b) SOCS3 bands were quantified by densitometry and corrected by actin expression. Densitometric analysis reveals a strong expression of SOCS3 protein in the OVA group, compared with the pEGFP-Gal-3 and SS groups. Data are expressed as the geometric mean ± SD, , * .
