DAPK and p-DAPK expression at human BBB endothelial cells and astrocytes. a, b DAPK mRNA levels within epilepsy and control, brain endothelial cells, and astrocytes showed no significant difference. However, c, d DAPK and p-DAPK protein levels were significantly increased in EPI-EC (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01) compared with those of HBMECs (control, ECs) and EPI-astro cells in comparison to HA (control, astocytes). Data is expressed as mean ± S.E.M. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01, ANOVA, analysis of variance
