Figure 2. Lentiviral shRNA knockdown of Top1 or Top2b in mouse cortical neurons reduces expression of long genes.
a, b, Representative western blots and quantification of TOP1 and TOP2B seven days post infection. Normalized to β-actin in arbitrary units (A.U.). **P<0.01 relative to scrambled (Scr) control, Student’s t-test. Error bars, s.e.m. n=3 biological replicates. c, d, Gene expression from Affymetrix microarrays, relative to scrambled control shRNA. Plotted as mean expression change in bins of 200 genes by length.
