(A) Representative immunoblotting of (1) unsorted cells, 10781694 (2) CD10+ cells, (3) CD13+ cells, (4) CD10/CD13 double-negative cells, (5) PT cells at passage 2, (6) PT cells at passage 3, (7) PT cells at passage 4 and (8) PT cells at passage 5. Blots were incubated with antibody against a-SMA. The b-actin protein was used as an internal control. (B) Immunofluorescence detection of a-SMA (antibody Texas Red-conjugated) in PT cells and in MRC5 cells, a 115103-85-0 fibroblastic cell line exposed to TGF-b, used as a positive control. Cells were SMER28 labeled by incubation with a phalloidin-FITC solution. DAPI was used to counterstain nuclei. Magnification: 6200. (TIF) Figure S2 Phenotypic analysis of commercial PT cells.

The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is an invasive species that was found originally in southwestern Asia, but has now spread to many countries in South, Central and North America starting in the 1990 s [1,2]. ACP is an economic pest of citrus, primarily because it is a vector of the phloem-limited bacteria (Candidatus Liberibacter spp.) associated with huanglongbing (HLB, citrus greening), currently the world’s most serious disease of citrus [3,4]. Additionally, direct feeding damage by its piercing sucking mouthparts, as well as production of copious amounts of honeydew excretions by nymphs and adults, which leads to the growth of sooty molds, may also contribute to further economic losses in young citrus plants, especially when large numbers of ACP individuals are present [5,6,7]. Honeydew excretions by hemipterans are the result of feeding on the phloem sap, which has very high sugar content and osmotic pressure. Sucrose-transglucosidase activity in their gut transforms excess ingested sugar into long-chain oligosaccharides that arevoided via honeydew excretion [8]. In addition to causing sooty mold growth on the host plant, which may inhibit photosynthesis [7], honeydew of psyllids and other hemipterans is known to attract many ant species [9,10]. These ants may protect hemipteran species from their natural enemies thereby compromising biological control [11] or lead to changes to ecosystem composition and 1676428 dynamics [12,13]. Honeydew quantity or chemical analysis has been used as an indicator of insect feeding or metabolism in various hemipterans [14,15,16,17,18]. Chemical analysis of honeydew has also been used as an indicator of phloem sap composition in various host plants.Thophysiology of human renal proximal tubule.Supporting InformationFigure S1 Expression of a-SMA in different cell populations.
