Further verification of the effect of BRCA1 knockdown on TIMP1 transcription. (A-B). Transient knockdown of BRCA1 using BRCA1-specific siRNA oligo (DO4 in A and DO7 in B). Mock transfection and a luciferase-specific siRNA oligo were included as controls. siRNA oligos were transfected into EGFP(E) or COBRA1(-C) stable knockdown T47D cells. The immunoblots in Fig. 4A show the extent of BRCA1 depletion in the transient transfection experiment. (B). Control or BRCA1/COBRA1 knockdown cells were starved in medium containing charcoal-stripped serum. Vehicle or estradiol (E2; 10nM final concentration) was added for 24 hr, and RNA was harvested for qRT-PCR analysis of TIMP1 mRNA abundance.
