ARPE‐19 cells were transiently transfected with control siRNA or siRNA targeting PJA2 (siPJA2), serum‐deprived for 48 h, and immunostained for acetylated tubulin (red). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar, 3 μm. Lower panel shows western blot for PJA2.
Cumulative data of the experiments shown in (A). A mean value ±SD of at least 4 independent experiments is shown. In total 25 cells for each experiment were scored. Student's t test, **P < 0.01.
ARPE‐19 cells were transiently transfected with control siRNA or siRNA targeting PJA2 (siPJA2). Cells were serum‐deprived for 48 h and left untreated or stimulated with purmorphamine (puro) for 4 h. Cells were fixed and doubly immunostained for GPR161 (green) and acetylated tubulin (red). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar, 3 μm.
Cumulative data of the experiments shown in (C). A mean value ±SD of at least 4 independent experiments is shown. In total, 25 cells for each experiment were scored. Student's t test, **P < 0.01.
ARPE‐19 cells were transiently transfected with control siRNA or siRNA targeting PJA2 (siPJA2). Cells were serum‐deprived for 48 h and left untreated or stimulated with somatostatin (SST) for 3 h. Cells were fixed and doubly immunostained for SSTR3 (green) and acetylated tubulin (red). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar, 3 μm.
Cumulative data of the experiments shown in (E). A mean value ±SD of at least 4 independent experiments is shown. In total 25 cells for each experiment were scored. Student's t test, ***P < 0.001.
