doi: 10.1042/CS20260395

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of TDO2 silencing in primary LSMC. Cells were transfected with siTDO2 or control siRNA (siNC) for 96 h, followed by assessment of gene expression by qRT-PCR. Expression levels of TDO2, VDR, MMP11, MMP14, COL11A1, CBX4, LINC02568, LINC01310, LINC02544, LINC02182, and miR-584-5p are shown. Data represent mean ± SEM from four independent experiments ( n = 4). Statistical significance is indicated as * P <0.05 and *** P <0.01.

Article Snippet: For gene silencing experiments, primary LSMCs were transfected with 50 nM of either a non-targeting control siRNA (siNC) or siRNA targeting TDO2 (siTDO2; 5′-CUAUCACUACCUGCGAUCAACUGUG-3′) using PureFection transfection reagent (System Biosciences, Mountain View, CA, U.S.A.), according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

doi: 10.1093/nar/gkag362

Figure Lengend Snippet: SNARE protein knockdown verification and colocalization analysis with glycoRNA. ( A ) Relative mRNA expression of v-SNARE protein after siRNA-mediated knockdown was determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). ( B ) Protein expression levels of v-SNARE protein were detected by Western blot. ( C ) Quantitative analysis of Western blot result( B ). ( D ) Relative mRNA expression of t-SNARE protein after siRNA-mediated knockdown was determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). ( E ) Protein expression levels of t-SNARE protein were detected by Western blot. ( F ) Quantitative analysis of Western blot result ( E ). Data are presented as mean ± SD ( n = 3). ( G ) Co-localization of t-SNARE (TSNARE1 channel) and v-SNARE (VTI1B channel) with GLINT-labeled glycoRNAs in the images (FAM channel). ( H ) The plot profiles show co-localization of glycoRNAs with t-SNARE or v-SNARE.

Article Snippet: siRNAs targeting human VTI1B, TSNARE1, and GAPDH, as well as a non-targeting negative control siRNA, were synthesized by Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China).
