From: Effects of cyclic equibiaxial mechanical stretch on α-BK and TRPV4 expression in equine chondrocytes
The effects of mechanical stretch on α-BK and TRPV4 protein levels in chondrocytes. (A) Expression of α-BK and TRPV4 channels in equine articular chondrocytes following exposure to mechanical stretch for 8 h. (B) The fold increase in the expression of α-BK and TRPV4 channels based on densitometric analysis of western blot by comparing to a housekeeping protein (β-tubulin). Data presented the mean ± S.E. and statistical significance is indicated by *** = P < 0.001 compared to unstretched controls.
