Fig. 5. Induced overexpression of ASIP/PAR-3 accelerates TER development after cell
plating. (A-C) There is no significant difference in cell growth between cells
cultured with or without 10 ng/ml of doxycycline (DC). (D-F) TER development
of each cell line was measured at different times after plating on
Transwell-ClearTM filters at a density of 1.5x105
cells/cm2. Cells were maintained with or without 10 ng/ml of DC for
at least 3 days before plating. Every point is the mean±s.e.m. of three
groups of cells on independent filters. P-values were calculated with
a two-sided t-test and statistical significance was considered at
P<0.05 (D, asterisks). (G) Expressions of the T7-tagged ASIPs and
endogenous aPKC at the different times after plating. Cells were maintained
with or without 10 ng/ml of DC and 5x104 cells/lane were
subjected to western blot analysis with the T7-tag-specific antibody (Omni
probe) and anti-aPKC
antibody.
