aFirst-order decay constants derived from plots of percent mRNA remaining versus time following actinomycin D treatment, as described in ‘Materials and Methods’ section. Values represent the means ± SD for n ≥ 3 independent experiments.

bAverage mRNA half-lives were calculated as t1/2 = ln2/k.

*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01 versus control shRNA.
