CIRP increases both cytoplasmic and nuclear HuR. MCF-7 cells were transfected with control siRNA (si-ctrl), CIRP siRNA (si-CIRP), pTracer-CMV2 vector (vec), or pTracer-CMV2-CIRP (CIRP). A, Cytoplasmic (cyto) and B, nuclear (Nuclear) protein was extracted 72 hr after transfection and the levels of CIRP and HuR analyzed by western blotting. Equal protein loading was determined by re-probing for β-actin (cyto) or HDAC1 (Nuclear).
