Knockdown of endogenous UBE3A disrupts circadian rhythms in mammalian cells. (A) Representative raw (left) and detrended (right) bioluminescence traces of Bmal1::Luc NIH3T3 cells treated with shRNA #1 (top) and #2 (bottom) against Ube3a. (B) Representative traces of Per2::luc SW1353 cells treated with human Ube3a SiRNA constructs at 10 (mid-grey) and 20 nM (black) doses. Scrambled SiRNA was used as control. (C) Left panels: circadian amplitude analysis (n = 3, shRNA #1 P < 0.01; shRNA #2 P < 0.001; RNAi 10 nM, P < 0.05; RNAi 20 nM, P < 0.01). Right panel: circadian period analysis (n = 3, t-tests: RNAi 10 nM, P < 0.05; RNAi 20 nM, P < 0.05). Note: the rapid dampening of circadian oscillation in shRNA-treated NIH3T3 cells prevented proper evaluation of periodicity. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
