Up-regulation of Notch1 expression in scratch-wounded keratinocytes. (a) After HaCaT keratinocytes were scratched, transcripts of Notch1~4 and GAPDH were determined by quantitative PCR. (b) Lysates from scratch-wounded HaCaT keratinocytes were immunoblotted with anti-NICD and anti-β-ACTIN antibodies, respectively. (c) Increased nuclear NICD expression in the region of the wound edge compared to the region far from the wound edge (outward) (>1 mm). HaCaT keratinocytes after scratching were immunostained with anti-NICD antibody. Nuclei were identified using DAPI staining. Scale bar, 25 μm. (d) Up-regulation of Hes1 promoter reporter activity after scratching. However, activity of promoter reporter containing mutated RBP-J binding sites is not up-regulated by scratching.
