Role of Cav-1 in HIV-1 Tat-Induced Dysfunction of Tight Junctions and Aβ-Transferring Proteins
Figure 3
Role of Cav-1 shRNA in HIV-1 Tat-induced changes of occludin. Cav-1 expression in HBEC-5i cells silenced with Cav-1 shRNA or Ctr shRNA was exposed to HIV-1 Tat for 24 h. Occludin protein (a) and mRNA (b) levels were detected by Western blot or qRT-PCR, respectively. Occludin protein and mRNA levels in Ctr shRNA were decreased following HIV-1 Tat exposure but were upregulated in the Cav-1 shRNA group. Data are representative of three independent experiments. compared to Ctr shRNA. ## compared to Ctr shRNA+HIV-1 Tat.
