Effect of helium on VE-Cadherin and Cx43 levels in HUVEC and HCAEC. Panel A: Western blot results of the ratio VE-Cadherin compared to GAPDH loading controls in HUVEC at different time points following helium or control gas treatment. n = 14. Panel B: Western blot results of the ratio Cx43 compared to Tubulin loading controls levels in HUVEC at different time points following helium or control gas treatment. n = 11. Panel C: Western blot results of the ratio VE-Cadherin compared to GAPDH loading controls in HCAEC at different time points following helium or control gas treatment. n = 14. Panel D: Western blot results of the ratio of Cx43 compared to GAPDH loading controls in HCAEC at different time points following helium or control gas treatment. n = 14. Cropped images of representative Western blot results are displayed below the respective graphs. Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Figs S9–S12. Data are represented as mean ± SD, *p < 0.05. HUVEC = human umbilical vein endothelial cells. HCAEC = human coronary artery endothelial cells.
