Figure 3.

Figure 3.

mRNA expression of SLC17A9 in astrocyte cultures at the age of 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks without dBcAMP, or 3 weeks with 0.25 mM dBcAMP for the last week. The figure indicates a sharp decrease in SLC17A9 expression with the maturation of astrocytes. The size of PCR product of SLC17A9 is 189 bp and TBP 236 bp. mRNA expression was quantitated by RT-PCR as ratios between SLC17A9 and TBP from five individual cultures. SEM values are indicated by vertical bars. *Statistically significant (p < .05) difference from 1-week group, and **statistically significant (p < .05) difference from all other groups.

Note. SLC17A9 = a neuronal vesicular transporter of ATP; dBcAMP = dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate; TBP = TATA box-binding protein; siRNA = small interfering RNA.
