Knockdown of RSAD2 in IFN-γ-stimulated human aortic smooth muscle cells results in reduced synthesis and secretion of CXCR3 ligands. Relative mRNA expression of (a) CXCL9 (n = 4), (b) CXCL10 (n = 3) and (c) CXCL11 (n = 3) in hAoSMCs transfected with RSAD2-targeting or scramble siRNAs and treated with IFN-γ for 44 h (normalized to the average of CTL KD). Protein quantification of (d) CXCL9 (n = 3), (e) CXCL10 (n = 3) and (f) CXCL11 (n = 3) in supernatant of hAoSMCs transfected with RSAD2-targeting or scramble siRNAs and stimulated with IFN-γ for 44 h. One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test was employed to test for statistical significance. p value < 0.05 is considered statistically significant. CXCL9/10/11, CXC-motif ligand 9/10/11.
