Figure 6. The protocadherin β cluster genes were differentially regulated in SmcHD1 knock-down cells.
A. A number of genes in the protocadherin β cluster were up-regulated in SmcHD1 knock-down SH-SY5Y cells. A graphical representation showing the position of differentially regulated genes on human chromosome 5. Below in red is the corresponding position of the upregulated genes in the protocadherin β cluster (5q31.3) upon loss of SmcHD1. B. mRNA quantitation of selected protocadherin β genes using RT-qPCR in SmcHD1 knock-down SH-SY5Y cells. The copy numbers are relative to and corrected using β-actin cDNA levels. * indicates P-values <0.05, ** P-values <0.01 and *** P-values <0.001 using an unpaired Students t-test.
