siRNA-mediated Prr14 depletion is associated with dysregulation of lamin A/C and Hp1α. C2C12 cells were co-transfected with siRNA (10 pmol) and EGFP-N1 empty vector (100 ng). Cells were collected 48 h post-transfection and subjected to immunostaining of lamin A/C (a) or lamin B1 (b) and DAPI. In non-specific control siRNA-transfected cells, lamin A/C was located in either nuclear lamina and cell nucleus, whereas PRR14-siRNA-expressing cells displayed reduced lamin A/C protein level and abnormal nuclear morphology (arrow). (c) The percentage of cells with decreased lamin A/C abundance was determined. The numbers are average of three different fields, and 200 cells were counted for each field. The data are presented as mean±S.D. (n=3). (d) siPrr14 or control siRNA-expressing C2C12 cells were analyzed for mRNA of the indicated genes. The data are presented as mean±S.D. (n=3). (e) The cells, same as in d, were analyzed with immunoblot using the indicated antibodies, and quantifications of WB data are presented as the mean± S.D. (n=3) (f)
