Fig 2. Knock-down of IGFN1 isoforms by shRNAs does not prevent expression of differentiation markers.
A) Analysis of IGFN1 variants, as identified with antibodies against IGFN1 Kip2b and Kip1, and markers of differentiation throughout in vitro differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts as indicated. The indicated Igfn1KD1 lane corresponds to a stable cell line selected with sh-1-IGFN1 targeting the 3’UTR of Igfn1 collected at 4 days in DF medium. Note depletion of the largest IGFN1 protein variants. B) Two knock down clones, obtained with sh-2-IGFN1 targeting a different sequence of IGFN1 3’ UTR, showing decreased complexity of IGFN1 products compared to the C2C12 cell line, as labelled.
