Fig. 1. Induction of NOS2 proceeds with the concomitant downregulation of the cav-1, cav-2 and cav-3 levels in mouse C2C12 myotubes treated with LPS/IFN-
. Myotubes were treated with LPS/IFN-
and the changes in NOS2, cav-1, cav-2 and cav-3 were analysed by immunoblot and quantified using the UVI-band software. Induction of NOS2 together with the accumulation of nitrites is depicted in (A) The intensity of the NOS2 bands at five different times as integrated using the UVI-band software is shown at the top. Accumulated nitrites in a 54 hour period is shown at the bottom. The disappearance of cav-1 (continuous line), cav-2 (dotted line) and cav-3 (dashed line) in myotubes is represented in (B), both as the immunodetected bands (top) and as a plot (bottom). Protein levels are expressed as percentage of the maximum; the initial amount of caveolin is therefore 100%. ß-Tubulin is also shown as a control of total protein in each sample. The results shown are representative of four experiments (means±s.d.).
