hsa_circ_0007367 (UBAP2) preserves the expressions of ZO-1 and occludin. (a) The expression of circUBAP2 in PMVECs treated with nonpulsatile or pulsatile flow for 6 hours; (b) the expressions of ZO-1 and occludin in PMVECs treated with circUBAP2 knockdown or scrambled siRNA using western blot assay; (c) immunofluorescent analysis of the ZO-1 distribution in PMVECs treated with circUBAP2 silencing or scramble siRNA; (d) immunofluorescent analysis of the occludin distribution in PMVECs treated with circUBAP2 silencing or scrambled siRNA. Significantly different between groups, . Abbreviations: ZO-1: zonula occludens-1; DAPI: 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; PMVEC: pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell.
