Various tissues of 18–20-week-old type 3 SMA mice were collected. (A) Total RNA was isolated and subjected to qRT-PCR to detect Tra2-β1 and ASF/SF2 mRNA levels. The result showed that among the tissues examined, the testis expressed the highest level of Tra2-β1 mRNA, but not the highest level of ASF/SF2 mRNA. (B) Proteins were extracted and subjected to Western blotting to detect Tra2-β1 and ASF/SF2 proteins. The result also showed that among the tissues examined, the testis expressed the highest level of Tra2-β1 protein, but not the highest level of ASF/SF2 protein.
