Figure 6. The siRNA of caveolin-1 suppressed the expression of caveolin-1 in HAFs.

Figure 6

HAFs were transfected with caveolin-1 siRNA or a non-silencing negative control siRNA using Hiperfect transfection reagent following protocols provided by the manufacturer. After 48 h of incubation the cells were harvested for protein extraction. Not that the caveolin-1 siRNA suppressed the protein level of caveolin-1 by 46% compared to control group. HAFs, human atrial fibroblasts. NC, negative control, siRNA-Cav, the caveolin-1 siRNA. *P = 0.035 vs. control group. n = 3 per group; measurement in triplicate for each single experiment.
