Fig. 2From: The role of the globular heads of the C1q receptor in TcdA-induced human colonic epithelial cell apoptosis via a mitochondria-dependent pathwaygC1qR expression in human colonic epithelial cell lines. The human colonic epithelial cells were treated with TcdA at 10 ng/ml for 24 h. a gC1qR mRNA level was detected using qRT-PCR; b The expression of gC1qR protein in lysates of NCM460 cells was measured by western blot assay. c Localization and expression of gC1qR protein was examined using immunohistochemical staining analysis. Cells with brown stained cytoplasm were considered positive (Red arrows). **p < 0.01 versus Mock groupBack to article page
