A, Relative expression of GAB1 mRNA in Ishikawa cells transfected with siRNA for GAB1 (siRNA), nonspecific siRNA (Scramble), or reagents without transfection (Reagent). After specific transfection, GAB1 mRNA levels were significantly reduced (ANOVA, P < .0001). B, Western blot of phosphorylated p44/42 MAPK (ERK 1/2) (phospho-MAPK) mediated activity by insulin in Ishikawa cells transfected with silencing RNA for GAB1. Normalization of protein expression was done with pan-actin. Ishikawa cells without siRNA for GAB1 (Scramble) or without siRNA (Control) showed an increased response of phosphorylated MAPK after incubation with 100 ng/mL of insulin for 10 minutes, compared with cells transfected with siRNA for GAB1 (siRNA).
