SNARE mRNA expression in steroidogenic cells and tissues. A, Levels of SNARE mRNA in mouse adrenals. Mice were injected with ACTH or carrier daily for 4 days before mRNA analysis (n = 3). B, Levels of SNARE mRNA in MLTC cells. Results are representative of three independent experiments, each with an n = 5. C, Levels of SNARE mRNA in primary rat ovary granulosa cells. Results are representative of three independent experiments, each with an n = 5. In panels B and C, MLTC and rat ovary granulosa cells were incubated with or without 2.5 mM Bt₂cAMP for 24 hours before mRNA analysis. *, P < .05; **, P < .01; ***, P < .001.
