From: VHL-recruiting PROTAC attenuates renal fibrosis and preserves renal function via simultaneous degradation of Smad3 and stabilization of HIF-2α

Fig. 2

PROTAC degrades Smad3 and stabilizes HIF-2α but not HIF-1α in vitro. A Treatment of NRK-49F cells with PROTAC of two linkers: a PROTAC-PEG and b PROTAC-(CH2COOH)2. B Treatment of NRK-49F cells with 25 nM PROTAC of two charities: PROTAC-R and PROTAC-S and the plot represented three independent experiments (n = 3). C The expression levels of different E3 ligases in human, mouse and rat renal tubular cells (HK2, mTEC, NRK52E). D Time course treatment of NRK-49F cells with 25 nM of PROTAC. E Treatment of NRK-49F cells with PROTAC of different concentration and the plot represented three independent experiments (n = 3). F Treatment of HK2 cells with PROTAC of different concentration and the plot represented three independent experiments (n = 3). PEG = Polyethylene glycol; (CH2COOH)2 = Succinic acid. Data are means ± SD; NS = not significant, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
