Figure 2From: Influence of 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1, 25(OH)2D3] on the expression of Sox 9 and the transient receptor potential vanilloid 5/6 ion channels in equine articular chondrocytesExpression of TRPV5 and TRPV6 channels in equine articular chondrocytes at the protein level. The changes in expression of TRPV5 (A) and TRPV6 (B) channels following treatment with 1, 25 vit D were assessed by densitometry analysis of western blots and normalized to the expression of housekeeping protein (β-Tubulin). Equine kidney (K) lysate was used as a positive control.Levels of expression at the protein level of the TRPV5 (C) and TRPV6 (D) channels following 24 h of incubation with different doses of 1, 25 (OH)2D3 in addition to the solvent (DMSO). Data presented as a mean ± S.E.Back to article page
