Expression of prostaglandin E synthase (PGES) in human urothelial cells, and immortalized urothelial cells from normal and IC/PBS patients after Ca/FBS addition.

<p>Upper panel: Representative immunoblots of PGES and actin expression in human urothelial cells (HUC) and immortalized urothelial cells from normal and IC/PBS patients. Lower panel: PGES immunoprotein was compared to actin for each sample and normalized to 1 for samples at Day 0. PGES immunoprotein changes were analyzed in three separate cells cultures of human urothelial cells (HUC, n = 3) or immortalized urothelial cells from normal (n = 4) or IC/PBS patients (n = 4). Data shown are mean ± SEM. ** p<0.01 when compared to day 0.
