TFCP2 inversely regulates ASIC2a expression. (a) Representative immunoblot and densitometric analyses showing that TFCP2 siRNA-transfected PC12 cells had 27% lower TFCP2 expression than negative siRNA-treated cells and consequently elevated ASIC2a expression. (b) Representative immunoblot and densitometric analyses showing that TFCP2 OE plasmid-transfected PC12 cells had 1.76 ± 0.45-fold greater TFCP2 expression than negative control cells and consequently suppressed ASIC2a expression. The experiments were repeated at least 3 times. Data are presented as means ± standard errors and were analysed using unpaired t-tests. *P < 0.05 compared to negative controls. Uncropped western blot images are shown in Supplementary Fig. 1. Abbreviations, ASIC2a: acid-sensing ion channel 2a; TFCP2: transcription factor CP2; siRNA: short interfering RNA; OE: overexpression; KD: knockdown; NC: negative control.
