α-Toc alters the surface expression of various adhesion molecules required for transmigration on epithelial cells (ECs). Epithelial cells were pretreated overnight with 100 µg/ml α-Toc (dark bars) or vehicle control (Veh. cntrl; white bars). Surface expression of the indicated molecules was assessed by flow cytometry. Mean florescent intensities (MFI) of the various molecules on the surface were then measured. Representative data from one of three separate experiments, in which each condition was tested in triplicate per experiment, are shown. *p < 0.05 indicates means significantly different by paired Student t test.
