Data of gene expression array and RT-PCR analysis shown in this table are means of groups. Three genes with expression levels in bold fonts meet all proposed criteria as candidate machinery genes in epithelial apical and basolateral protein targeting.
These gene expression microarrays used cDNA prepared from mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) or from colon epithelium (Colon). The differences between two groups are significant at p < 0.01.
These gene expression analyses used cDNA of MDCK cells (canine kidney epithelium-origin) at Day 2 after seeding (prior to differentiation) and Day 13 and 17 after seeding (differentiated); IEC-6 cells (rat intestinal epithelium-origin but non-differentiating) after the same interval of culturing as other two cell lines; C2C12 cells (mouse skeletal muscle-origin) at Day 2 after seeding (prior to differentiation) and Day 13 and 17 after seeding (differentiated).
