Figure 5. HUVECs permeability is regulated by STAT3-induced mir17–92 and can be restored in AD-HIES patient cells through the canonical Wnt signaling pathway.
(A) Western blot analysis of phosphorylated Src, total Src, and phosphorylated PTEN, in DMSO and C188–9 HUVECs following exposure to histamine (100 µM). (B–C) Western blot analysis of phosphorylated VE-cadherin, total VE-cadherin, active (non-phosphorylated) β-catenin, total β-catenin, phosphorylated Src, total Src, phosphorylated PTEN, total PTEN, and phosphorylated STAT3, in wild type and AD-HIES HUVECs following exposure to histamine (100 µM). Data are represented as the mean ± S.E.M. *p<0.05. (D) Real time PCR analysis of mir17–95 RNA expression in IL-11 (100ng/ml) treated wild type and AD-HIES HUVECs. Data are representative of 3 independent experiments. (E) Western analysis of SIAH1 and E2F1 expression in wild type and AD-HIES. Data are representative of 2 independent experiments. (F) Analysis of cytoplasmic verses nuclear active β-catenin in wild type and AD-HIES HUVECs.
