Knockdown of TR3 inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in NSCLC cells. (A) Cell survival. After transfection with either siScr or siTR3 for 4 days, the number of cells in each well was counted. The experiment was repeated three times with four replicates each and the data are presented as means with SD. #P<0.001 vs siScr. (B-D) Cells were transfected with an indicated siRNA for 72 hours, and whole cell lysates were analyzed by Western blot analysis. β-Actin was used as a loading control and the experiment was repeated three times with similar results. TR3 knockdown (C) varied between 60-80% in this study and similar results were observed in subsequent experiments using siTR3.
