Figure 2
Time course of HMOX-1 upregulation in HCAEC induced by GBS. (a) Autoradiograph of western blot analysis of cell culture lysates demonstrating upregulation of HMOX-1 after 4, 8, and 24 h in comparison to unstimulated HCAEC. (b) Quantitative analysis of the HMOX-1 signaling pathway. Data shown represent mean expression in percent ± SEM of up to 4 independent experiments. The results after 8 hours are defined as 100 percent. * Indicates statistical significant difference (); n.s.: no significant difference.
