Effects of short-interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown on ROCK isoform expression and apoptosis in primary cultured PASMCs. ROCK-I or -II isoform expression (A), quantified by quantitative PCR, and apoptosis in PASMCs cultured from days 1 to 14 neonatal rats electroporated with control (scrambled) siRNA (white bars; B) or siRNAs designed to knockdown ROCK-I (gray bars) or ROCK-II (black bars) are shown. Values represent means ± SE for 4 samples or 6 wells per group. *P < 0.05, by unpaired t-test, compared with control group; #P < 0.01, by Mann-Whitney rank sum test, compared with control group.
