Upon 24-h induction, the HeLa-XBP1u cell line accumulates XBP1u mRNA. A The results from three independent experiments (n = 9) are plotted normalized to GAPDH and RPLP0 mRNA levels and expressed as a fold change over the noninduced cells. Error bars represent standard deviations. Significant changes (P value P < 0.05) are marked with an asterisk. The corresponding changes in unspliced XBP1 protein levels were evaluated by Western blot (B) normalized to total protein levels (C) and related noninduced control. *P < 0.05 was considered significant. The exogenous XBP1u expression does not lead to the accumulation of XBP1s (D) and DNAJB9 (E) mRNA. The results from three independent experiments (n = 9) are plotted normalized to GAPDH and RPLP0 mRNA levels and expressed as a fold change over the noninduced cells. Error bars represent standard deviations. Significant changes (P value P < 0.05) are marked with an asterisk
