Down-regulation of CD24 by siRNA is associated with increased epithelial barrier disruption. Effect of silencing mRNA (insert-1) for CD24 in H413 epithelial monolayers. Regression data are representative of three independent experiments for time points from triplicate cultures (showing mean values ± s.e.m.). For experiments commencing 48 h after transfection, there is a significant difference between silenced and control cultures (paired t-test, * P < 0.05).
