Ad-siRadixin decreased the rate of biliary excretion of GS-MF and CGamF. Hepatocytes were treated with PBS, Ad-siControl or Ad-siRadixin and cultured for 5 days. (A) Cells were incubated with CMFDA or CGamF and visualized by confocal microscopy. Bar = 10 μm (B) Hepatocytes were treated with standard or Ca2+-free HEPES buffer before the bile excretion assay. The Biliary Excretion Index (BEI) was measured as the percentage of GS-MF fluorescence released into canalicular lumina. Data represent the means ± S.D. of five experiments. p>0.05, PBS compared to Ad-siControl treated cells. * p<0.05, Ad-siRadixin compared to PBS or Ad-siControl treated cells.
