Figure 5. Expression of MuRF1 and MAFbx in wild type (WT) and MuRF1 null (KO) mice after dexamethasone (DEX) treatment.

Figure 5

MuRF1 and MAFbx expression was measured in the triceps surae of female mice after either 3 or 14 days of DEX treatment. A, quantitative PCR was performed to measure MuRF1 expression in control (filled bars) and DEX-treated (open bars) WT and MuRF1 KO mice. Expression values were normalized to Rpl39 and expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3–4 per group). As expected, MuRF1 expression was not detected in the KO mice. *P < 0.05. B, MAFbx expression was assessed by Northern blot and quantified by densitometry in control (filled bars) and DEX-treated (open bars) WT and MuRF1 KO mice. *P < 0.01.
