Effects of overexpression of UCHL1 on the expression of cell cycle related proteins. (A) Representative Western blots against UCHL1, p27Kip1, Cyclin A and β-actin, as a house keeping protein, demonstrated that UCHL1 induces accumulation of p27Kip1 and reduction of Cyclin A expression in LNCaP cells. (B-C) Quantitative RTPCR revealed no statistically significant change of p27Kip1 and Cyclin A mRNA level in UCHL1 positive cells. The results are indicated as mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments. (D) Protein levels of Rb, pRb, Cyclin E, Cyclin D and β-actin were detected by Western blotting analyses using corresponding antibodies in UCHL1 overexpressing LNCaP cells. (E) Quantitative RTPCR revealed no statistically significant change of Cyclin D mRNA level in UCHL1 positive cells. The results are indicated as mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments.
