Fig. 1. Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) at different time points following the treatment of enterocytes with ricin
Fig. 2. The amount of biotinylated lectin transcytosed across enterocytes under normoxic conditions (control) and in the hypoxic environment; * — lectin proportion transcytosed after 6 h under hypoxic conditions differs significantly from the control (p < 0,05)
Table 1. Differentially expressed genes involved in intracellular vesicular traffic
Note: * — the ratio of expression levels (arbitrary units) under hypoxic conditions to the expression levels under standard culture conditions. The data were gathered from microarrays. A negative value means that the expression of the studied gene decreased.
Table 2. Differentially expressed miRNAs regulating the expression of genes involved in intracellular vesicle transport
Note: * — the ratio of expression levels (arbitrary units) under hypoxic conditions to the expression levels under standard culture conditions; the data were generated by NGS. A negative value means that the expression of the studied miRNA decreased.
