Supplementary figure. Cyclic stretch increases angiotensin II receptor (Ang II-R) and tumor necrosis factor-α receptor (TNF-α-R) protein expression in cardiomyocytes. (A) Representative Western blots for Ang II-R and TNF-α-R in cardiomyocytes subjected to cyclic stretch by 20% for various periods of time. (B) Quantitative analysis of Ang II-R and TNF-α-R protein levels. The values from stretched cardiomyocytes have been normalized to values in control cells and the data from 4 independent experiments. *P < 0.001 vs. control. **P < 0.05 vs. control. (n = 4 per group).
