Statistical analyses. Data are presented as means ± SE for four wells from three different experiments. Statistical analyses were performed using a two-tailed unpaired t-test and Dunnett’s multiple comparison test, and values of p
NVP-BGJ398 and small vessels in the stomach [10], yet it remains unknown whether or not the gastric epithelial
cells express AQP1. Therefore, we examined the expression of AQP1 mRNA in RGM1 cells. As shown in Fig. 1A, a clear expression of AQP1 mRNA was observed in RGM1 cells as well as the rat stomach and kidney. Furthermore, we examined the gene expression of several other AQPs (AQP3, AQP4, and AQP9), which reportedly play a role in cell migration [12], [16] and [17]. However, neither of these AQPs mRNAs was expressed in RGM1 cells (Fig. 1B).
