Article Title: Low-dose acetaminophen induces early disruption of cell-cell tight junctions in human hepatic cells and mouse liver

doi: 10.1038/srep37541

Figure Lengend Snippet: Histograms representing relative expression of integrins (CD49a-f) and CD29 in HepaRG cells following challenge with different concentrations of APAP. Though the expression of most integrins was modulated over the period of exposure to APAP, only modulation of CD49c was directly associated with increasing APAP concentration. Untreated HepaRG cells contained high and low CD49c expressing populations. 24 hours after treatment, increasing APAP concentration was directly associated with increased percentage of cells in the low expressing population, and a reciprocal decrease in the high expressing population. The level of expression (MFI) was unchanged in the CD49c low population, whereas the level of expression by cells in the high population increased directly with APAP concentration. Detailed flow cytometric data is shown in .

Article Snippet: To assess correlation of z-alpha with modulation of expression of integrins, adhesion molecules and other markers in response to APAP hepatotoxicity, remaining adherent HepaRG cells were recovered using TrypLETM cell-dissociation reagent (Life Technologies), and stained using combinations of directly conjugated monoclonal antibodies: CD29-BV510 (563513), CD49f-BV421 (5625820, CD49d-FITC (580840), CD49c-PE, CD166-PE (559263) (all BD Biosciences, Oxford, UK); CD49a-APC-Vio770 (130-101-406), CD44-APC-Vio770 (130-099-149), CD49b-PE-Vio770 (130-100-328), CD90-PE-Vio770 (130-099-295), CD49e-APC (130-097-221), (all Miltenyi Biotec, Surrey, UK); CD13-BV421 (301716; Biolegend), CD54-FITC (mhcd5401; Caltag, Buckingham, UK).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5 OSM suppresses SMAD signaling. a After pretreatment with the OSM (10 ng per ml) or IL6 (20 ng per ml), C3H/10T1/2 cells were stimulated with TGF-β1 (2.5 ng per ml, 12 h) and the relative expression level of αSMA mRNA was calculated. The one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test were used for the statistical analysis (F (2, 6) = 97.35). b Immunoblot analysis of phospho-ERK1/2, total ERK1/2, phospho-SMAD2 linker (Ser245/ 250/255) and total SMAD2 protein. Thirty minutes after U0126 (20 nM) pretreatment, C3H/10T1/2 cells were stimulated with OSM (10 ng per ml) or IL6 (20 ng per ml) for 30 min. and collected for the analysis. U0126: a selective MEK1/2 inhibitor. c Immunoblot analysis of phospho-SMAD2 C-terminal (Ser465/467) and Lamin A/C. Thirty minutes after OSM (10 ng per ml) pretreatment, C3H/10T1/2 cells were stimulated with TGF-β1 (2.5 ng per ml, 12 h) and collected at indicated time points. d After pretreatment with U0126 (20 μM, 60 min) and OSM (10 ng per ml, 30 min), C3H/10T1/2 cells were stimulated with TGF-β1 (2.5 ng per ml, 12 h) and the relative expression level of αSMA mRNA was calculated. Two-tailed t-test with Welch’s correction was used for the statistical analysis (t = 3.212, df = 3.172). Data show the mean and the standard deviation (error bar) of technical triplicates from a representative experiment (a, d). *p < 0.05
