Silencing of Pref-1 increased adipocyte differentiation in RNase-L knockdown 3T3-L1 cells. (a) The silencing efficiencies of Pref-1 in siPref-1 #1 and #2 transfection compared to siNC transfection in RNase-L gene silencing stable clones of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. Pref-1 expression was measured by qPCR. (b) After induction to differentiation, the lipid accumulation of the siPref-1 #1 and #2 transfected cells and siNC control cells were examined by Oil red O staining (upper) and bright field microscopy imaging (lower). Scale bar represents 50 μm. (c) The lipid content of 3T3-L1 in the experiments in (b) were quantified. The data represented in mean±S.E.M. were from three independent experiments. *P<0.05
