Figure 4. siRNA-mediated knockdown of CLU_45 kDa in mouse neuroblastoma cells.

Figure 4.

(A) Mouse neuroblastoma cells (Neuro-2a) were cultured and subjected to a subcellular fractionation to isolate the cytosolic, crude mitochondrial, and nuclear fractions. 30 μg of each fraction was analyzed for CLU protein expression using anti-CLU H-330. Fraction purity was analyzed using fraction-specific markers: Gapdh (cytosol), Grp75 (mitochondria), and lamin A (nucleus). (B) Neuro-2a cells were transfected with 200 pM of Exon-3-targeting siRNA or non-specific scramble for 18 hr followed by 72 hr incubation. Whole cell lysates were analyzed for CLU protein expression using anti-CLU H-330. To ensure consistent loading, blots were stripped and re-probed for Hsp60 immunoreactivity. The relative intensity of CLU_45 kDa was normalized to the relative intensity of Hsp60 and is plotted as % change compared to the non-transfected cells. Values represent the mean of two individual experiments, with error bars representing the standard error.
