Role of Cav-1 in HIV-1 Tat-Induced Dysfunction of Tight Junctions and Aβ-Transferring Proteins

Figure 5

Role of Cav-1 shRNA in HIV-1 Tat-induced changes of RhoA. The RhoA protein levels were detected by Western blot. Compared with the blank control, HIV-1 Tat treatment increased the protein levels of RhoA with the longer exposure time (a). Compared with the Ctr shRNA, the RhoA protein level was upregulated following HIV-1 Tat exposure but was downregulated in the Cav-1 shRNA group (b). Data are representative of three independent experiments. , , and compared to Ctr shRNA. ## compared to Ctr shRNA+HIV-1 Tat.
