![Western Blot: ABCA1 Antibody - BSA Free [NB400-105] - (A) Time course response of ABCA1 induction by TO-091317 & (B) upregulation of ABCA1 by purple Perilla frutescens extracts (PPE), & (C) enhancement of liver X receptor (LXR) alpha induction by PPE. J774A.1 murine macrophages were cultured with 1 μM TO-091317 or 50 μg/ml Cu2+-oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the absence or presence of 1–10 μg/ml PPE. For the measurement of expression of (A & B) ABCA1 & (C) LXR alpha , total cell lysates were subjected to western blot analysis with a primary antibody against ABCA1 or LXR alpha . beta -actin was used as an internal control. Bar graphs (means ± SEM, n=3) represent quantitative densitometric results of the upper bands. Bar graphs denoted without a common letter indicate significant difference, P<0.05.
