Fig. 3. Quantification of the dye-coupling assays. The bar histograms show the proportions of ATP-s and ATP-i cells that were coupled when in the presence and the absence of octanol. Data represent the mean±s.d. number of injected cells that were coupled to at least one neighboring cell. At least 30 cells were injected with Lucifer Yellow in each culture dish and at least five independent dishes were injected on different days. Degree of coupling: a total of 0 cells coupled to the injected cell; 1-3 cells coupled to the injected cell; or 4-6 cells coupled to the injected cell. The degree of coupling between ATP-i cells and octanol-treated ATP-s cells was significantly decreased compared with that obtained for ATP-s cells to the group of the ATP-s cells. The asterisk and double asterisk indicate P<0.05.
