Effects of knockdown of Hook2 in centrosomes during cytokinesis induced
by Taxol in Sawano cells. (A) Immunocytochemical staining for Hook2,
LSR, TRIC, OCLN, CLDN-7, ZO-1, cingulin, and pYAP with γ-tubulin in
Sawano cells treated with 100 ng/ml Taxol after transfection with siRNA
of Hook2. Bars: 5 μm. (B) Western blot analysis of Hook2, LSR, TRIC,
CLDN-7, cingulin, pYAP, and γ-tubulin in Sawano cells treated with or
without 100 ng/ml Taxol after transfection with siRNA of Hook2. (C)
Graph of TEER values representing barrier function of Sawano cells
transfected with siRNA of Hook2. (D) Graph of TEER values representing
barrier function of Sawano cells treated with 100 ng/ml Taxol after
transfection with siRNA of Hook2. Abbreviations: LSR,
lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor; TRIC, tricellulin; OCLN,
occludin; CLDN-7, claudin-7; ZO-1, zonula occludens-1; pYAP,
phosphorylated yes-associated protein; TEER, transepithelial electrical
resistance; siRNA, small interfering RNA.
