Knocking down of RGS2 expression by shRNA in β cells increases cell apoptosis. (a) Percentage of apoptotic cells in RGS2-knockdown (RGS2 shRNA) and control (control shRNA) cells cultured under normoxia (20% O2) and hypoxic (1% O2) conditions for 24 or 48 h (flow-cytometric analysis). (b) Protein expression of cleaved Caspase-3 and β-actin analyzed in βTC3 cells transfected with RGS2 shRNA or control shRNA (western blot analysis) at 8 h after hypoxia treatment. Data are representative from at least three individual experiments. *P<0.05, ANOVA test
