Figure 4: Zymosan treatment of EPC2-hTERT cells upregulates expression of cell adhesion molecules.
EPC2-hTERT cells stimulated with zymosan or peptidoglycan (10 μg/ml ) in culture results in greater than 2-fold upregulation of A) CLDN1, and B) TJP1 by 6 hours of stimulation. mRNA signal was normalized to β-actin and expressed as fold change compared to unstimulated control cells (n=4; mean ± SD).
