Irradiating rat alveolar type II RLE-6TN epithelial cells differentially modulates the expression of E-cadherin, α-SMA and Vimentin. RLE-6TN cells were irradiated with 8 Gy of 137Cs γ-rays and were harvested at 48 and 72 h postirradiation. Panels A and B show representative Western blots and densitometric quantification of E-cadherin and α-SMA protein levels, respectively, in RLE-6TN cells. Data are mean ± SEM; n = 3; * p < 0.05 vs. non-irradiated control. Panel C shows immunofluorescence staining of α-SMA (green) and Dapi (blue) in control (upper panel) and irradiated (lower panel) cells at 72 h postirradiation. Panel D shows immunofluorescence staining of vimentin (red) and Dapi (blue) in control (upper panel) and irradiated (lower panel) cells at 72 h postirradiation.
