Knockdown of SIRT1 reverses resveratrol effects on gpr50 expression in HEK-293 cells. (A) Quantitative PCR (QPCR) analysis of resveratrol-induced (50 μM; 48 h) transcriptional changes compared to vehicle only (DMSO). Resveratrol treatment induces significant transcriptional increases in sirt1 (1.9 fold) and gpr50 (5.6 fold). Western-blot analysis supports resveratrol-dependent stimulation of SIRT1 protein levels (inset) (B) QPCR and western blot validation of sirt1 morpholino knockdown from basal levels (columns1–3) and after resveratrol induction (columns 4–6). Values are means ± SD. *Indicates statistical significance of annotated p; n = 20. (C) Morpholino oligonucleotide knockdown of sirt1 reverses resveratrol-induced gpr50 transcriptional increases [5.6 fold→ 1.6 fold (columns 2 and 4)]. The inclusion of a standard control morpholino mix has no significant effect (column 3).
