  1. Transfection experiments combining the siRNA against caveolin 1 (siCAV1) and the expression plasmid for E-cadherin (pBATEM2-CDH) were performed both in HT29 sensitive and MTX-resistant cells. Forty-eight hours later, mRNA levels for the two genes were determined in both cell lines by RT-Real-Time RCR. Results are expressed as percentages of mRNA referred to untreated cells (mean ± SE) of at least 3 independent experiments.
