Expression of Mina53 after siRNA silencing. a Expression of Mina53 was down-regulated by siRNA. Relative expression was calculated as equivalent ratio (mRNA levels of the gene of interest corrected for β-actin mRNA) using the expression in blank control group as control. The dotted line (relative expression = 1) indicates expression level in blank control group. Data are presented as mean ± SD of three experiments. b The Western blot analysis confirmed diminished expression of Mina53 protein
