Distribution in the chicken distal ileum of three types of enteroendocrine cells. Enteroendocrine cell types were identified by a double immunofluorescence technique for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and neurotensin (NT). Arrows indicate cells showing immunoreactivity for both GLP-1 and NT (GLP-1+ /NT+). Arrowheads indicate cells containing either GLP-1 (GLP-1+ /NT-) or NT (GLP-1- / NT+). Bars 20 µm. |

Double immunofluorescence images of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R, a, d, g) and somatostatin (SOM, b, e, h) in the pancreatic islets of chickens (a-c), northern bobwhites (d-f), and ostriches (g-i). Figures c, f, and i show merged images of a and b, d and e, and g and h, respectively. Almost every SOM-immunoreactive cell in the pancreatic islets of three avian species also demonstrated GLP-1R immunoreactivity. Bars indicate 10 µm. |

Effect of RA treatment in MCF-7 cells. (E) Immunofluorescence analysis of HSPB8 (red) and tubulin (green) in MCF-7 cells treated for 2 and 3 days with 1 µm RA, nuclei were stained with Hoechst (scale bar = 20 µm). (F) Immunofluorescence analysis of BAG3 (red) and tubulin (green) in MCF-7 cells treated for 2 and 3 days with 1 µm RA (scale bar = 20 µm). (G, H) Fluorescent intensity quantification of HSPB8 and BAG3, nuclei were stained with Hoechst. (I) Higher magnification of the mitotic spindle (scale bar = 5 µm). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.005 in all charts. Graph bars represent the mean of three independent experiments. |

Expression of HSPB8 in MCF-7 cell lineHSPB8 mRNA and protein levels were quantified by real-time RT-PCR analysis. (C) Representative pictures of immunofluorescence staining of HSPB8 (red, anti-rabbit) and alpha-tubulin (green, anti-mouse) in MCF-7 cells, treated as above for 2 days. DAPI (blue) was used to stain DNA. *P < 0.05 vs Control. Values represent the mean from three independent experiments. C. Control cells, E: 17beta-estradiol, EV: estradiol valerate, 3beta: 3beta-Adiol, Gen: genistein, Ral: raloxifen, Tam: tamoxifen. |

Immunofluorescent staining for GLP-1 (a, c) and GLP-2 (b, c) in the chicken distal ileum. a, b: Single immunofluorescent staining for GLP-1 (a) and GLP-2 (b). Both immunoreactive cells are scattered in villous epithelium and crypt of the distal ileum and show the similar localization to that indicated by double immunofluorescent staining. c, c: Double immunofluorescent staining for GLP-1 (c) and GLP-2 (c). Most GLP-1-immunoreactive cells also show immunoreactivity for GLP-2. Bar = 20 µm. |
