DMSO causes actin destabilization and interference with actin filaments results in NTCP expression. (a,b) Impact of 24 h treatment with DMSO, and/or 4 µg ml⁻¹ Cytochalasin D or 0.1 µg ml⁻¹ Latrunculin A, on actin filaments and NTCP expression in HepG2–NTCP cells as determined by (a) immunofluorescence microscopy, including staining with Phalloidin and NTCP, as well as (b) western blot for NTCP. Numbers under western blot lanes indicate densitometric analysis normalized to loading controls. Data shown are representative images of three independent experiments.
