Representative immunofluorescence images showing p65 nuclear translocation in MLE-12 cells after treatment with different concentrations of HDM and/or Gingerenone A (GA) (5-20 μM) (scale bar = 50 μm), along with quantitative analysis of the nuclear/cytoplasmic fluorescence intensity ratio. The results showed that GA treatment reduced HDM-induced NF-κB nuclear translocation. Quantitative analysis of nuclear/cytoplasmic fluorescence intensity ratios reveals significantly lower NF-κB nuclear accumulation in the GA group (10-20 μM) versus the HDM group (P < 0.05).

Representative images (scale bar = 100 μm) of the migration assay of MLE-12 cells under Gingerenone A (GA) and HDM stimulation, along with the migration cell ratio relative to the control group (n = 3). The results showed that 48-h of HDM stimulation increased MLE-12 cell migration. However, after GA treatment at 5, 10, and 20 μM, migration rates significantly decreased. These data indicate that GA substantially inhibits HDM-induced increases in airway epithelial cell migration.

Western blot analysis for E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin in MLE-12 cells under Gingerenone A (GA) (5-20 μM) and HDM stimulation (n = 3). The results revealed that treatment with HDM caused a significant reduction in E-cadherin (epithelial marker) and simultaneous elevation of N-cadherin and vimentin (mesenchymal markers). In contrast, GA treatment effectively counteracted these changes in protein levels.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
