AUF1 knockdown sustains the PGE2-medicated induction of FGF9 mRNA in human primary endometrial stromal cells. (A) Western blots showing successful AUF1 knockdown by AUF1-specific shRNA (B01, B03 and C03), but not the Luc control shRNA. The Null indicates cells without shRNA treatment. (B) Western blots showing AUF1 protein expression in whole-cell lysates isolated from stromal cells after PGE2 treatment. (C) FGF9 mRNA levels measured at indicated times after PGE2 treatment in stromal cells. Ethanol (EtOH) was used as control treatment. (D) Experiment similar to that shown in C, but with AUF1 knockdown by AUF1_B03 shRNA. All data are shown as mean ± SEM of 4–6 independent experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. (E) Western blots showing the distribution pattern of AUF1 protein in stromal cells after PGE2 treatment. α-Tubulin and LaminA/C used as loading controls for proteins isolated from cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions, respectively.
