How can you use “transepithelial” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
This cell line spontaneously differentiates in culture and expresses biochemical and morphological characteristics of well-differentiated small intestine-like enterocytes [ 17 23 ] . We have previously shown that Caco-2 cells possess a classical nuclear vitamin D receptor [ 18 ] that directly mediates vitamin D-dependent gene expression [ 22 ] , and exhibits a high degree of specificity for various vitamin D metabolites and analogs [ 20 21 ] . Most importantly, in response to short-term (<24 h) 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D treatment, Caco-2 cells increase transepithelial calcium transport [ 17 ] and calbindin D 9K expression [ 19 ] , a cytosolic calcium binding protein.
There is no net transepithelial water movement with solutions of identical osmolalities in the bath and lumen.
Water permeability (P f , μm s -1) was then determined from the equation P f = J v /(A s V w δC osmol ) where A s = luminal surface area (π DL), V w = partial molar volume of water (18 ml/M), δC osmol = transepithelial osmolality gradient [ 18 ] . When the effect of TEA on water movement was examined, TEA bromide (10 mM) was added to the bathing medium and the NaCl concentration was reduced by 10 mM to maintain the osmolality constant.
Numerous previous investigators have used different masking agents as methylcellulose [ 3 4 5 6 ] and sodium hyaluronate [ 5 7 8 ] at various concentrations or performed transepithelial (so that the epithelium acts as a natural masking agent) treatments [ 5 6 9 10 ] and reported the beneficial effect of masked PTK.
MDCK cells transfected with empty virus showed no augmentation of transepithelial water movement, confirming previous work that showed water does not flow across tight junctions in MDCK confluent layers [ 16 ] . Cells transfected with empty virus also showed no effect of TEA treatment.
