Figure 1. Dz1 inhibits the hTERT mRNA level by downregulation of LMP1. Cells were seeded at 4 × 10⁴ cells/ml and treated with 2 µM Dz1 or 2 µM control oligo (CON) for 24 h. (A) Total RNA was isolated using the TRIzol reagent and quantitative RT-PCR was performed for LMP1 mRNA expression. (B) Quantitative RT-PCR was performed for hTERT mRNA expression. Values are the means ± SD of 3 replicates, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with the control cells.
