Inhibition of cell uptake of Rubipy-SiO2 NPs in CAV1-silenced cells. CaCo-2 cells were transfected with si-ctrl or si-cav1 and after 48 h the remaining RNA expression was evaluated with real-time PCR (a), protein expression was assessed with western blot (b), the cell uptake of LaCer was measured after 30 min incubation (c) and the cell uptake of Rubipy-SiO2 NPs was measured after 3 h (d) and 6 h (e) exposure by flow cytometry. Statistical significance was assessed by a Student’s t test; *p < 0.05, si-cav1 silenced cells compared to si-ctrl treated cells
