Western blot analysis was performed as previously reported,30 (link) with minor modifications. In brief, HRMECs were treated with 10-nM SZN-413-p 24 hours before harvesting for cell lysis. The anti-ZO-1 (ab216880; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-CLDN5 (ab131259; Abcam), and anti-β actin (A5441; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) primary antibodies were used, followed by horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse secondary antibodies for chemiluminescent signals.
