Fig. 1From: Epidermal growth factor upregulates expression of MUC5AC via TMEM16A, in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polypsEffect of EGF on TMEM16A expression in HNECs. Cells from patients with CRSwNP (a, c) or control subjects (c) were treated with different concentrations of EGF for 4 h, and total RNA was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR for TMEM16A mRNA expression (n = 4); Cells from patients with CRSwNP (b, d) or control subjects (d) were treated with different concentrations of EGF for 24 h, and the TMEM16A protein in lysates was detected by Western blotting (n = 4). *P < 0.05, between two groupsBack to article page
