Table 2.

CA molecules released from control and shRNA-syt I knockdown cells transfected with pSyt IV.

Average Number of CA Molecules/cell (× 106) ± SEM (× 106) Number of Cells
Control 56.7 ± 7.2 16
pSyt IV-Control 64.3 ± 13.8 13
shRNA-syt Ia 16.0 ± 2.9** 16
pSyt IV-shRNA-syt Ia 11.1 ± 2.3+ 17
shRNA-syt Ib 33.2 ± 7.8* 20
pSyt IV-shRNA-syt Ib 11.0 ± 2.4+,± 17

The Faraday equation was used to calculate the average number of CA molecules per cell from the total charge per cell [44] (*p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared to control cells; +p < 0.01 compared to pSyt IV control cells; and ±p < 0.05 compared to shRNA-syt Ib cells).
