Relative gene expression of tight-junction genes in IPEC-J2 cells. A coincubation assay was performed for 4 h with equal numbers of CP9 and ETEC in IPEC-J2 cells. The relative expression of claudin-1 (A), occludin (B), and zona occludens-1 (C) mRNAs was calculated by real-time PCR. The expression levels of all target genes were calculated relative to the housekeeping gene GAPDH using the 2−ΔΔCT method. The values for the control cells were set to 1. The data are presented as means ± the SEM. Means marked with different letters (a, b, and c) differ significantly (P < 0.05).
