Figure 5. Effects of ANGPTL4 on cell survival under hypoxia/SD.

Figure 5

MSCs were transfected with a siRNA against the ANGPTL4 transcript. The cells were also transfected witn a non-targeting siRNA(siRNA-NT) as control. The siRNA-mediated transfection efficiency was demonstrated by western blot (A and B) and ELISA(C). (Each column represents the mean ± SD of three independent experiments; *P<0.05 vs.siRNA-ANGPTL4). Then MSCs were treated with hypoxia/SD for 24 hr. Cells under normal culture were used as control. Then the apoptosis was measured by FACS(D and E).(Each column represents the mean ± SD of three independent experiments; *P<0.05 vs. control; ▴P<0.05 vs. hypoxia/SD+siRNA-ANGPTL4).
