Protein expression in NHBE, hT/LT and hT/LT/Ras cells by Western blot was quantified by densitometric analyses and expressed as percentage of control (α-tubulin). c. Primary, immortalized and H-Ras-transformed bronchial epithelial cells were cultured in growth media and enumerated after the indicated time periods. d. Unconsumed glucose remaining in the media was measured after 24, 48 and 72 hrs expressed as the (calculated) consumed glucose. e. Lactate secreted into the media by the cells was measured after 24, 48 and 72 hrs. d. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD of four experiments (b, c) and five experiments (d, e).
