    Test of anti-Ano5 antibodies by Western blotting. a The anti-Ano5 antibody (sc-169626) from Santa Cruz Biotechnology did not detect any positive signal in human Ano5-expressing cell lysate, which was correctly detected by the anti-GFP antibody at the predicted size. b The anti-Ano5 antibody (AP8580B) from Abgent produced a prominent band at about 100 kDa in both negative and positive samples; however, this band is not Ano5 because the Ano5-YFP fusion protein should be around 135 kDa as correctly detected by the anti-GFP antibody. The arrows point to the correct Ano5-YFP fusion protein. These experiments were repeated at least three times

    <p>Reverse phase protein arrays were performed under either normoxic or hypoxic conditions. <b>Panel A</b>: RPPA graph of two sets of untreated BMMSCs grown under normoxic conditions or low O<sub>2</sub> tension. When cells were 80% confluent they were switched to serum-free media for 3 h. Then cells were washed twice with PBS and lysis buffer was added to the plates. Results are expressed as means ±SEM for three independent experiments. *<i>p</i>≤0.05 and # <i>p</i>≤0.01. Percent change of untreated BMMSCs in hypoxia was determined as percent change of untreated BMMSCs in normoxia (control = 100%). RPS6: Ribosomal protein s6 (S6_pS240_S244-R-V).

    <p>Erk (phospho Erk/Total Erk) assesed by Western blots of BMMSCs grown under normoxic conditions (21% O<sub>2</sub>/5% CO<sub>2</sub>). When cells were 80% confluent, they were treated with either Trp alone (100 µM) or in combination with either additional extracellular calcium (baseline calcium: 1.2 mM increased to 1.8 mM) or a calcium receptor antagonist (NPS 10 nM) in serum-free media. The cells were washed twice with PBS and lysis buffer was added to the plates. Results are expressed as means ± SEM for at least three independent experiments. *<i>p</i>≤0.05 and # <i>p</i>≤0.01.</p

    <p>Reverse-phase protein array graphs of two sets of BMMSCs grown under normoxic conditions (21% O<sub>2</sub>/5% CO<sub>2</sub>) and under low O<sub>2</sub> tension (3% O<sub>2</sub>/5% CO<sub>2</sub>; physiologic hypoxia). When cells were 80% confluent they were treated with Phe, Tyr or Trp (100 µM) in serum-free media for 3 h. The cells were washed twice with PBS and lysis buffer was added to the plates. a-Phe, b-Tyr and c-Trp. Results are expressed as means ± SEM for three independent experiments. *<i>p</i>≤0.05 and # <i>p</i>≤0.01. Percent change of hypoxia over control for Phe was determined as percent change of BMMSCs treated with Phe under hypoxic conditions (3% O<sub>2</sub>%) vs. BMMSCs treated with Phe under normoxic conditions (21% O<sub>2</sub>) (control = 100%). Both sets of BMMSCs were treated with Phe and grown under different oxygen levels. Same for Tyr and Trp pannels. RPS6: Ribosomal protein s6 (S6_pS240_S244-R-V). CAV1: Caveolin 1 (Caveolin-1-R-V).
