Differentiation state-distinct expression profiles of α2, α3, α5 and α6 integrin subunits, in human IECs. A-B. Representative (n ≥ 3) WB ( A ) and RT-PCR ( B ) analyses of the expression of the α2, α3, α5 and α6 integrin subunits, in undifferentiated (HIEC, Caco-2/15 -2PC) and differentiated (Caco-2/15 30PC) adhering human IEC cultures, using specific antibodies ( A ) or primers ( B ). Actin was used as reference protein ( A ) and mRNA ( B ).
