Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) qRT-PCR analysis of ADRB2 in stably transfected LNCaP cells, shADRB2-1, shADRB2-2 and shADRB2-3, and negative control cells, shCtrl. A representative experiment with triplicates is shown. (B) qRT-PCR analysis of miR-196a in stably transfected LNCaP cells, shADRB2-1, shADRB2-2 and shADRB2-3, and negative control cells, shCtrl. (C) qRT-PCR analysis of ADRB2 in shADRB2-2 cells transfected with a plasmid overexpressing ADRB2 (shADRB2-2 p-ADRB2) and negative control cells (shADRB2-2 p-Empty). (D) qRT-PCR analysis of miR-196a in shADRB2-2 cells transfected with a plasmid overexpressing ADRB2 (shADRB2-2 p-ADRB2) and negative control cells (shADRB2-2 p-Empty). (E) qRT-PCR analysis of miR-196a in LNCaP Ctrl cells treated with different β-blockers or vehicle for 48 hours. The experiments were performed three times and a representative experiment showing the mean ± standard deviation of three replicates is presented in the figure. miR-196a expression was normalized to the reference gene miR-16-5p. The ADRB2 mRNA levels were normalized to the reference gene ALAS1.
Article Snippet: Briefly, LNCaP shADRB2-2 cells were transfected for 48h using XtremeGene HP DNA transfection reagent (cat. no. 06366236001; Sigma, St. Louis, MO) under androgen-proficient conditions with a pcDNA3 plasmid containing the full length ADRB2 gene (p-ADRB2) (cat. no. 14697; Addgene, Watertown, MA).
