Figure 3. Nuclear beta-catenin detection in UCB-CD34+ progenitors exposed to 2% to 3% O2 on PLL- versus FN-coated plates in the presence of osteoblast-derived cytokines and chemokine. CD34+ progenitors were cultured in SCF, IL-6, and CXCL12 for 48 hours on FN-coated plates in 2% to 3% versus 20% O2. Cells were normalized by cell count with Trypan blue to exclude dead cells. An average of 2 to 3 million cultured cells was subfractionated for protein analyses in the presence of NEM or ubiquitin aldehyde enzyme, to preserve the ubiquitinated form of beta-catenin. Tubulin and laminin were used as cytoplasmic and nuclear control, respectively.
