Figure 2. Effects of DCA on mRNA and protein levels of OCTN2 in cancer cell lines.

Figure 2

(A), analysis of mRNA levels of OCTN2 in DCA-treated cancer cell lines. After treatment with 0.5 and 1 μM DCA, total RNA in cancer cells was purified by TRIzol reagent for cDNA synthesis and the mRNA levels of OCTN2 were analyzed by Quantitative RT-PCR. (B), analysis of protein levels of OCTN2 in DCA-treated cancer cell lines. Total proteins were extracted and protein levels of OCTN2 were analyzed by western blotting. The relative expression of mRNA and protein was normalized to β-actin. Data presented represent the mean ± S.D. of three independent experiments. Significant difference from control group of 0.1% DMSO is denoted with asterisks (*, p<0.05; **, p<0.01).
