Fig. 7: Knockdown of derlin-1 significantly reversed the E2-induced decrease in α-ENaC.

a Downregulation of derlin-1 by shRNA-derlin-1 transfection in mpkCCDc14 cells significantly reversed the E2-induced decrease in α-ENaC. b Quantification of the α-ENaC expression shown in (a) normalized to β-actin expression. c Quantification of the derlin-1 expression shown in (a) normalized to β-actin expression. The bars are the means ± SE values from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05
