Effect of pumilio proteins on CLDN-5 expression. (a and b) The expression level of CLDN-5 mRNA (a) and CLDN-5 protein (b) in HEK-293 cells stably expressing CLDN-5 or its 3’-UTR mutants. Three independent clones were used. (c) CLDN-5 expression level was checked 48 h after the transfection of shRNA against GFP, PUM1 or PUM2 into each CLDN-5 expressing HEK-293 cells (n = 3). shRNA GFP transfected cells were used as a control. (d) FLAG-tagged N-terminally truncated PUM1 mutant expressing vectors. RD; repression domain, PCM; pumilio conserved motif, RBD; RNA-binding domain. (e) CLDN-5 expression level in HEK-293 cells stably expressing wild-type CLDN-5 was checked 48 h after the transfection of FLAG-tagged truncated PUM1 mutants expressing vectors. GFP-expressing vector was used for a transfection control. ns, not significant (p > 0.05); *p value ≤ 0.05; **p value ≤ 0.01; ***p value ≤ 0.005;****p value ≤ 0.001
