Figure 2.
Effects of exposure to 100 ng/mL hepcidin on Bad, pBad, and Bcl-xL expression in HCD57 erythroleukemia cells at rhEpo 0.3 U/mL. pBad expression is significantly reduced relative to total Bad or Bcl-xL expression after exposure to hepcidin (P = .02, ANOVA). ACTH(1-24) (100 ng/mL) had no effect on pBAD expression by HCD57 cells.
