1 However, our knowledge about the expression and function of KLF4 in the endothelial cells of BTB still remains unclear. btb Kruppel like factor 4 Homo sapiens
2 In this study, we sought to investigate the role of KLF4 in regulation of BTB function as well as the potential molecular mechanisms. btb Kruppel like factor 4 Homo sapiens
3 Short hairpin RNA targeting KLF4 impaired the integrity of BTB detected by trans-endothelial electric resistance assay, and meanwhile reduced the expression of ZO-1, occludin and claudin-5, demonstrated by quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence assays. btb Kruppel like factor 4 Homo sapiens
4 Depletion of KLF4 increased BTB permeability to small molecules detected by permeability assays. btb Kruppel like factor 4 Homo sapiens
