a Expression of TRAIL receptors mRNA in MDA-MB435S. Quantitative real-time PCR on cDNA from the cell line revealed abundant message for TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2, the latter being more abundant. b Both TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2 can mediate the effect to scFv62-TRAIL. MDA-MB435S cells were treated with siRNA against, TRAIL-R1, TRAIL-R2, or both apoptotic receptors in combination (30 nM); 24 h later cells were treated with scFv62-TRAIL (0.1 μg/ml) in combination with 0.5 μg/ml CHX for 18 h. Apoptosis induction was measured with Annexin V staining and flow cytometry. Only when both receptors were knocked one there was a significant reduction in apoptosis induction
