The EGFR protein was expressed in the cells of group A and D, abundantly in group B, while weakly in group C. The values of comparative absorbance had significant difference between group A, B, D and group C, respectively (P < 0.01). For the MUCSAC protein, its express...
The formation of tight junction was determined by immunoreactivity againstzonula occludensprotein-1 (ZO-1) [124]. For both TMPC models and the CaLu3 cells, a well-developed, net-like structure was observed for ZO-1 immunoreactivity in all cells investigated (see Fig.3e–g). This characterist...
Confocal microscopic studies showed ZO-1, F-actin, occludin and claudin-1 proteins at cell-cell contacts and revealed significant differences in the distributions and densities of ZO-1 protein in cells grown at the two types of interface. The data indicate that RPMI 2650 cells grown at an air...
The functional expression of two efflux transporters P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Breast Cancer Resistant Protein (BCRP) was shown to be negligible by bidirectional transport studies using appropriate transporter substrates and inhibitors. The model drug permeability determined in the two RPMI 2650 cell ...
The presence of theABCB1gene was investigated at the mRNA and protein levels using RT-PCR and Western blot analysis in differently cultured RPMI 2650 cells and excised human nasal epithelium. Furthermore, the localization and activity of P-gp was examined by immunohistochemical staining and ...
