Experimental details: Figure 3 Representative confocal photomicrographs comparing localization patterns of claudins-1 (C1), -2(C2), -4(C4) and -7(C7) and occludin (Ocld) in Misoprostol treated (M+, right panel) and untreated (M-, left panel) cervix . The FIT-c (green) and Cyanine-3 (Cy-3-red) labelled secondary antibodies were used; DAPI (blue) for nuclear staining with overlays of red, green and blue (RGB) channels. In the untreated cervix, occludin (red) shifted to intermediate and more superficial layers (3B-red). In the untreated cervix, occludin (3A-red) and claudin-2 (3A green) were expressed in basal layers only (3A-overaly) but following Misoprostol treatment, de novo expression of claudin-2 (3B-green) in the intermediate layer resulted in both now localizing in the basal and intermediate layers (3B-overlay). Compared to diffuse lattice pattern in basal to intermediate layers in the untreated cervix (3C red), Misoprostol induced expression of claudin-7(3D red) in basal and intermediate layers. Claudin-4 was expressed mainly in the nuclei throughout the ectothelium (3C green) in the untreated cervix, with de novo cytoplasmic expression in Misoprostol-treated tissue (3D & 3F green). Claudins 1 and 4 exhibit nuclear and plasma membrane expressions in Misoprostol-treated cohort (3F). Arrows at basement membranes; S-stroma, E-epithelium. 3A- 2 x 2 tile; x 20air objective.

The expression levels of Cldn2 , 4 , 7 , and luCldn18 were significantly increased in the stomach of stCldn18-/- mice at old age. Gene expressions were normalized to GAPDH. Results are expressed as mean +- SD. Comparisons between 2 groups were performed using Student's t test, and differences with P < .05 were considered statistically significant. n.s., not significant. * P < .05. ( B ) Immunofluorescence micrographs for Cldn2 or Cldn7 ( green ) co-stained with E-cadherin ( red ) and with or without villin ( blue ) in the stomach from stCldn18+/+ and stCldn18-/- mice (around 50 w.o.). Representative images from at least 3 independent experiments are shown. Scale bars = 100 mum. ( C ) Hematoxylin and eosin-stained images of the ectopic gastric gland in aged stCldn18-/- mice. Ectopic gastric glands were found in 1 of 3 old stCldn18-/- mice by examining stomach tissue slices. Right panels are magnified images of the boxed regions in the left panels. Representative images from at least 2 independent experiments are shown. Scale bars = 100, 50, 10 mum, left to right panel. ( D ) ( Left ) Immunofluorescence micrographs for TFF2 ( green ) and Pepsin C ( blue ) as SPEM cell markers co-stained with CD44 (red) and DAPI ( white ) in the ectopic gastric
